Local Cat Cafe? It turned out to be a commonweal "stray cat coffee"!

Watching the news today, I had no intention of browsing a piece of warm news on Weibo.

Weibo information shows:

A pair of post-90s couples have treated hundreds of stray cats in their own way, which sounds very loving. Without saying much, let's take a look at the video horn first.

According to the video, the Cat Cafe, which was founded in early 2019, is called "Local Cat Cafe" and is located in a residential building in Guangzhou. as its name implies, it is a pet cat cafe, but it is different from the cat coffee we see every day. "Local Cat Cafe" is a cafe dedicated to adopting stray cats, and all the cats in the shop are stray cats.

From the above information, it is not difficult to find that this is a public welfare "stray cat coffee shop", the shop owner said: the original purpose of opening the shop is to help some stray cats.

At present, the daily business model in the store is mainly based on the ticket system, 30 yuan per person, by charging low-cost tickets to maintain daily expenses, such as paying rent, buying cat food, cat litter and so on.

The store owner also said that if a guest likes the cat in the store and meets the conditions for adoption, he will let the guest take the cat home free of charge.

Since its opening in 2019, the "local cat cafe" has helped more than 200 stray cats find new homes.

Under the COVID-19 epidemic last year, there was also a piece of warm news related to cats. A cat cafe called Meow warm Mansion in Tokyo, Japan, was also unable to open for business due to the epidemic, and the owner also opened a live broadcast to help stray cats find a new owner.

It should be noted that under such public welfare conditions, the "Local Cat Cafe" houses hundreds of stray cats, and it is not an easy task to raise so many stray cats, which undoubtedly requires a lot of manpower and material resources. in addition, during the epidemic last year, due to passenger flow and capital problems (the store said that about 6 to 10 people would come to the store for consumption a week during the epidemic), the operating income of this cafe could not make ends meet. In the end, the store had to choose the way of loan to maintain the normal operation of the cafe.

In this regard, some netizens said: shop owners choose to do public welfare in this way is too loving, very warm, but some netizens said: doing public welfare is a good thing, but it is best not to affect their normal life, although full of love, but it always feels strange to rely on loans to help these stray cats.

Finally, popular science

How on earth did the cat cafe come from?

When it comes to pet cafes, the original idea came from Taiwan, where Tracy Zhang opened the world's first cat cafe, Cat Garden, but at that time, animal cafes were not popular with the public. no one even noticed this type of cafe. Later, a Japanese tourist came to the coffee shop and brought the type of coffee shop to Japan and opened the first cat cafe in Japan.

However, this is not the time of the craze for cat cafes in Japan. The craze for pet cafes in Japan was in 2004, when Japan opened a cafe called Cat time in the northern district of Osaka (people who have been to Japan should know. Japanese people have a deep obsession with cute things). For the sudden emergence of such a cute "cute pet" in cafes, how could the Japanese give up the opportunity to sign in? Since then, this type of cafe has become very popular in Japan, and since then there has been the first wave of "cat coffee" in Japan. After that, keeping pets in cafes has become a "sunny" way and is deeply loved and welcomed by the public. In recent years, pet cafes in the trend of vigorous development, all kinds of pet cafes have also become a must place for young people to "sign in".
