Vancouver Cat Cafe To Become A Reality

Vancouver Cat Cafe Clawing Ahead

The proposed Vancouver Cat Cafe may have missed its online fundraising mark, but that doesn't mean it's taking a paws.

Catfe founder Michelle Furbacher (yes, that's her real last name) raised $32,125 of her $50,000 goal. However, the shortfall isn't stopping this cat in its tracks.

Furbacher announced on the fundraising page that because she chose a flexible-funding option for her campaign, she still gets to keep the donated money (although Indiegogo takes a larger chunk).

So the Catfe is very much alive. Furbacher's next step, she said, is finding a location.

A cat cafe is exactly what its name suggests: a cafe where there are cats for you to cuddle and play with. The idea has gained momentum in Asia and Europe, even pawing its way into North America.
