16The Fayetteville area will soon have an opportunity that both cat and coffee lovers will want to take advantage of: The Farmer’s Cat Cafe. The new cafe will open in July at 2589 Gillespie Street and will offer quality coffee products as well as the company of cats available for adoption. The company’s website shares its vision: “The Farmer's Cat Café aims to create a space where individuals can effortlessly enjoy excellent coffee, delightful food trucks, fresh farm produce, and the company of adorable feline companions. Our commitment to our community is reflected in our unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional customer service and offering a wide range of top-notch products.”
Customers of the Farmer’s Cat Cafe will be able to enjoy coffee beverages and snacks like any other coffee shop, but with the added twist of being able to play with new feline friends. The cafe partners with TARA, a local animal rescue organization, to feature cats at the cafe that are available for adoption. Though adopting a cat is not expected of customers who come in, the ultimate goal of the cafe is to help the cats in the cafe to find a forever home with loving families.
Plans are also in the works to bring local food trucks to the Cat Cafe, to expand customers’ food choices.
The public can be involved with the Farmer’s Cat Cafe in multiple ways. Of course, the most common and accessible way is simply to make an appointment for some kitty time on the Farmer’s Cat Cafe website: https://farmerscatcafe.com/cat-time-reservation. In addition, the cafe is seeking out vendors for their farmer’s market. Small business owners and local entrepreneurs are invited to sell their produce, food items, and handmade goods at the farmer’s market, which will soon be part of the cafe. Details for joining the farmer’s market can also be found on the website.
Additionally, the Cat Cafe is looking for volunteers. Folks who volunteer will help keep the cat areas clean and tidy, making sure the cats are safe, taken care of, and entertained. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, fill out the form on their website to sign up. The Cafe is also accepting donations of unexpired cat food, bedding, and cat toys.
Once the cafe opens later this month, customers will have the opportunity to hang out with, play with, and love on cats that are available for adoption. If you decide that one of the cats would be a great fit for your family, adoptions are arranged through TARA, the Cafe’s rescue partner. All cats that are adopted through TARA are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. This care is covered by the $125 adoption fee.
