Oh, Quebec. Your hockey team sucks almost as much as Toronto’s, you still yearn for taxpayer-funded independence, and now you have a café for cats.
Cat Café Mtl, the first of its kind in North America, will be swinging its doors open to cat and coffee lovers alike in July.
Co-creator of Cat Café Mtl Nadine Spencer says the goal is to create an entirely new venue in Montreal combining coffee and cat-owner culture in one space.
One major criticism for cat cafes is the sanitation issue, as no one really wants a bunch of hair in their latte, or Meowchiato (yes this will be a beverage name), but CCM is making sure it won’t be an issue. To ensure all sanitation regulations are met, no food will be prepared on site, and cats will be separated from any food-holding areas in the cafe, only having access to their own eats. Pastries and sweet treats will be served, just without any fur.
