Big exciting news on the rescue front! ๐ฑ
We are EXPANDING our rescue partners through a bridge program that connects foster-based rescues and the cat cafe that weโre calling the 717 Rescue Nexus!
In order to expand our outreach to rescues with less visibility and exposure for their foster kitties, weโre teaming up with them to bring these kitties into the cafe. This system will allow us to accept cats on an individual basis from established rescues to offer them a temporary home with LOTS of exposure and socialization at the cafe as spots open up. Our partners are on board, excited and so are we! Think of the cafe as just another foster...but with a lot more visitors than the average home, and so many more opportunities for cats and potential adopters to fall in love ๐
Note: this program is for established 501c3 animal rescues. There is an application process that each rescue will need to fill out for each cat they would like to submit to the cafe. Rescues will need to provide their 501c3 status, proof of vaccinations, vetting, spay/neuter, and the cats need to be suitable for a cafe environment.
Weโre taking this REAL seriously; we are dedicated to the health, safety, and comfort of our adoptable cats and are passionate about helping them; but we need to make sure weโre doing our due diligence, for these cats and for our cat cafe patrons. โค๏ธ
If youโre part of a rescue based in central PA and think this sounds like something youโd like to be part of, check out the program (and other resources available),

Weโre excited to meet more cats and help more rescues get them into homes.
Hereโs to the beginning of something great ๐
