Cat Cafe Review
Before I get started I would like to give a big thank you to all of those who upvoted and resteemed my post about Auschwitz (especially @curie). If you haven't read it already, be sure to here: https://steemit.com/travel/@slowpoke/auschwitz-reflection-on-family-and-visit
Now that I got that out of the way, I want to tell you people about a little cafe I went to in Kraków today.
The name is "Krakow Cat Cafe" (Or "Kocia Kawiarnia Kociarnia"). This cafe collects weekly donations of food, blankets, toys, and other things for the local cat shelter. They focus on helping cats in need as a foundation. They organize educational events and promote cat adoption and numerous other things. Apparently the workers at the shop are volunteers and all income goes towards helping the cats.
At the enterance you are greeted with a webbed door to prevent possible cats from escaping. You walk in and can already order if you are ready. If not, you go to one of the two rooms to wait until you've made a choice. Typically the room in the back is reserved but when I went on Monday they took me to the 2nd(?) floor area. I order two caffè macchiatos for me and my dad.
To enter the area where the cats actually are, you have to go through this two-door closet to prevent cats from escaping.
You aren't allowed to approach the cats or pick them up. If they decide to come around you, you are allowed to pet them. When I went the cats seemed tired but relatively calm considering all of the people that were there.
We were told to go to the upstairs couch. We were provided with a wooden cat to hold onto until we received our drinks.

THE COFFEE LOOKS LIKE A CAT
Overall it was a worth while experience. I got to see cute cats and drink good coffee all while supporting cats themselves! If you enjoyed reading about this adorable Cafe, please do resteem and follow to see more content. Thank you and have a good day!

Thank you friend!
These cool things from abroad need to come here faster!
I agree, where are you from?
UK, We don't get any cat cafes where I live.

No problem, I am glad you enjoyed!
Probably couldn't operate a business like that here, too many regulations.
awesome!
Very exciting and interesting post. Thank you
This is the first time I'm seeing a cat cafe!
I would guess it is difficult to run such a charity in certain places, thanks for reading
