Crumbs & Whiskers, Washington’s first cat cafe, will open its Georgetown doors to the public Saturday after a successful Kickstarter campaign raised twice as much as the owner expected.
Owner Kanchan Singh plans several parties to thank those Kickstarter supporters.
The cafe at 3211 O St. NW will have about two dozen felines in residence, all vetted and vaccinated by the cafe’s partner, the Washington Humane Society. All the kitties in the café are also available for adoption.
The Crumbs & Whiskers Kickstarter campaign had an original goal of $15,000, and raised almost $36,000 from more than 700 backers.
