Cat Cafés Are On The Rise

 

Cat cafés are cropping up in a variety of cities around the world, filling a void for animal lovers who can’t have pets. The first cat café opened in Taiwan in 1998. The idea caught on in Japan where many animal-loving apartment dwellers1 are not allowed to keep pets. Some cat cafés double as animal rescue shelters and the cats are available for adoption2. Owners often charge a fee for handling the animals. The money is used to feed and care for the pets.
