About
affoGATO Cat Cafe in Cleveland, Ohio, offers an experience centered on feline welfare for fellow cat enthusiasts. This wonderful cat cafe partners with the Cleveland Animal Protective League, providing a temporary, loving home for 16-20 rescue cats at a time. Their mission focuses on fostering "less adoptable" friends, including middle-aged cats, mom cats, bonded pairs, and those with special health needs, giving them a vital chance to find their forever families. Guests can sign up for dedicated blocks of time in the cat lounge to play and cuddle with these deserving felines. The cat lounge features a separate air system from the cafe entrance, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for the cats. Children under 13 are welcome in the cat lounge exclusively on Sundays, ensuring a calm atmosphere for the felines on other days. As a proudly LGBTQ+, Latine, neurodivergent, and women-owned small business, affoGATO Cat Cafe creates a welcoming and accessible space for all.
