About cat cafes background

Here's a brief overview:

  • Origin in Taiwan: The world's first cat café, named "Cat Flower Garden," opened in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1998. It became a hit among tourists and locals alike, especially those who couldn't keep pets in their small living spaces.

​

  • Global Spread: The first cat café opened in the United States in 2014. As of 2024, the U.S. is home to around 140 cat cafes.

​

  • Adoption Focus: Cat cafes collaborate with local animal shelters and rescue organizations. This partnership serves a dual purpose: it socializes cats and enhances their adoption prospects. Cat cafes offer a calm and hospitable environment, allowing cats to exhibit their true personalities. They encourage authentic connections between humans and cats, providing an experience vastly different from the stressful environment of traditional shelter visits.

Dispelling Misconceptions:

  • The fusion of "cat" and "café" often sparks curiosity and, sometimes, misconceptions.

​

  • In reality - there is nothing crazy about it!

​

  • Cat Cafes largely are set up with 2 distinct areas:

​

  • The Coffee Shop - This is for anyone, regardless of your affinity for felines! At Snick's, you'll find delicious coffee shop beverages, along with yummy snacks and pastries. Rest assured, our kitchen is separate and never comes into contact with our animal friends.

​

  • The Cat Lounge - This area, located behind two closed doors, is designed to keep our cats safe and ready for public visits. You can book an appointment online or by phone. We also welcome walk-ins, but please note space is limited and subject to availability. For their comfort, our cats have two spacious private rooms equipped with litter boxes, where they can retreat for some quiet time away from visitors.

​

  • Unique to Snick’s - we have a THIRD area.

​

  • The Kitty Boutique - Located on the side of the coffee shop and open to the public, you'll find everything a cat lover could dream of. For your feline friends, you will find a variety of hand-picked toys, stylish collars, chic bandanas, irresistible scratching posts, and so much more. But it's not just about spoiling your cat. Our selection of cat-themed merchandise, which includes jewelry, artwork, home décor, and accessories, ensures that humans also find something to love.
