Two veterinarians in Botoșani, Romania, have opened a unique cat cafe called "La Miau." The cafe is home to over 100 cats, many of whom are rescues with special needs. The cafe offers a chance for customers to enjoy coffee and pastries while interacting with the felines, providing a therapeutic experience for both humans and cats.
The cafe's founders, Danuț Bratu and Daniel Bejinariu, are both graduates of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the "Ion Ionescu de la Brad" University of Life Sciences in Iași. They were inspired to open the cafe by their love for cats and their desire to provide a safe and loving environment for rescued animals.
The cafe is designed to be a welcoming space for both cats and humans. The cats have plenty of room to roam and play, and there are comfortable seating areas for customers to relax and enjoy the company of the felines. The cafe also offers a variety of coffee, tea, and pastries.
Bejinariu emphasizes the importance of responsible pet ownership, highlighting the need for education and awareness about the needs of animals. He shares the story of Floyd, a cat who was rescued from a situation of neglect, and how Floyd's presence has significantly impacted his life.
The cafe's success has exceeded the founders' expectations, with a constant stream of customers eager to enjoy the unique experience. The cafe has become a popular destination for cat lovers and a testament to the power of compassion and the bond between humans and animals.
