Hot day, cool man. 😎
Baylor looks stern, but in typical orange man fashion, it's actually a facade for having zero brain cells. His hobby is snoozing in the big grey chair and begging for lots of petting.
😻: Baylor, GOING HOME SOON!

Princess is, unsurprisingly, a princess. 👑
This senior lady wants nothing more than to be close to you and have all of your attention for herself! When she's not snuggled up or begging to be carried, she loves wand toys and snoozing on the couch.
📸😻: Princess, 15yo/F, ADOPTABLE!

Happy Juneteenth!!
No commodification of a holiday honoring the victims of imperialism and celebrating hard-won freedom. Just sharing a moment of peace and love to recharge you in the fight for liberation for all.
We hope every person struggling for a better tomorrow finds joy today! 💕

He was a sk8er boi. 🛹
Mr. Worldwide has been OBSESSED with his skateboard scratcher (swipe to see). It went with him to on vacation, and he's still always on it now that he's back at the cafe. He even has a fresh one ready for his future adopter!
But today, a guest brought the holy grail: a REAL skateboard!! They were kind enough to let him give it a test sit while they were at the cafe.
Skaterboarders of Cleveland, please adopt Mr. Worldwide!
📸😻: Mr. Worldwide, 7yo/M, ADOPTABLE!

Fritchly is life. Fritchly is love.
(But not with other cats, so someone please adopt this cat asap so she can live out her affectionate solo cat dreams.)

HAPPY PURRIDE! 🏳️🌈😻
We're usually on vacation this weekend, but we're excited to be hanging with you today! We still have space for cat visits today too, we hope to see you on your way to and from the festivities!

We'll be back soon, but here's a present since we miss you and our cats! 💝 (Plus, we're feeling sentimental since our 3 foster kittens got adopted today! 😭)
Book online before we return on Friday by using the code "summervacay", and get 25% off weekday and weekend cat lounge hangouts! Private parties and day passes are already discounted, so those don't count, sorry. When booking, your actual visit can be scheduled anytime in the next 28 days though!
We can't wait to hopefully see you this weekend (with a special Pride menu, too!)

This Friday we'll be back in full swing after a short staycation.
It seems like many of our friends from before vacay are still at the shelter, which means there will be many familiar faces at the shop.
The gorgeous tuxedo cat is Mikasa. Her facial expression is the same one I made looking at our bank account after closing for one week. Welp.
See you all this weekend!😸

As Cleveland’s first cat cafe, affoGATO’s mission is to improve our city by creating a safe, comfortable haven for adoptable cats, cultivating a fun and inclusive space for cat-lovers to work and play, and teaming up with other local businesses and artists for the betterment of the community as a whole.
For our commonly asked questions, such as how reservations work, our policy on children, employment info, and where the cats come from, CLICK HERE.
We provide a safe home for adoptable cats. You can then pay a small cover charge to relax, work, and enjoy coffee and snacks with these friendly felines. We partner with several local businesses and artists in order to host fun, unique events and produce food, drinks, and merchandise.

Cat cafes like affoGATO aren’t just a fun place to visit. They actually have important benefits for rescue cats, people, and the community, too!
Benefits for Cats
Gets cats out of cages and into a fun, open space with lots of playtime and snuggling.
Cats that don’t photograph well can meet potential adopters face-to-face.
Cats that are no longer in a scary cage can open up and show off their true personality.
More cats can be rescued! When we host a cat, it frees up a space in our source shelter. And when one of our guests chooses to adopt, we get to celebrate twice! Not only does that cat have a safe, loving home, but now we can help another cat in need!
Meet the cats here!
Benefits for People
Cats are good for your health and happiness! Studies show that they can reduce stress, heart issues, loneliness, and can even help you recover from grief more quickly.
Our space is flexible to fit your needs. Get in your workout with a yoga class, let the quiet space and caffeine get you in the zone to telework or study, or just enjoy some chill time with cat cuddles.
Cat cafes are great for people who can’t own cats. Some common reasons are dorm or apartment rules, an allergic family member, lack of funds, or frequent travel. Here, you can just spoil them, commitment-free!
Thinking of adopting? Cats’ personalities shine when they’re happy. At affoGATO, you can hang out and get to know all of the cats in a cozy, home-like setting before picking your new bestie.
Benefits for the Community
It’s hard for local businesses to compete with big name brands. We work to support our community by sourcing as much as we can locally, and working with local instructors, performers, etc., for our events. Meet the locals we work with here!
An inclusive event space. We are a wheelchair accessible space, and will be actively seeking to host programming for diverse ages, income levels, special needs, and more. If you’re kind to cats and kind to other people, then you’re welcome here.
