Calia's EmPURRium is raising funds to expand foster care and adoption services for our feline friends in Northeast Michigan.

Our Mission:

How will we do this, you ask?

Our plan is to open Northeast Michigan’s premiere Cat Café.

Cat Café

Cats + Coffee/Tea/Snacks/Books/Games

What is a Cat Café? It is a café or similar establishment where people pay to interact with cats housed on the premises. [Oxford]. This creates an environment for cats to be socialized as they await adoption, and provides the community with a space to play with, relax with, and even learn more about cats.

Foster & Adoption

Socialization & Education

Community

Our Cat Café would help to expand foster and adoption services in our area by fostering 12-20 cats that are available for adoption. Individuals could apply to adopt the cats in our care on-site after they’ve had a chance to interact.

Kitties on the premises would be well socialized as they interact with a variety of humans and other cats on a daily basis. Staff, signage, and events would help to educate our community about our beloved feline population.

A fun, themed café would give our community a place to gather and enjoy good food with even better company (what better company than a cat!). For people unable to keep pets, this would be a great chance to get a kitty-fix. Employment & volunteer opportunities would also be available.

“Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world arounds us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother."

Dr. Jane Goodall
