Partner Spotlights

Katy's Cat Cafe

What makes your business unique?

My business offers a unique way to adopt cats into their forever families. We are open to all guests, not just adopters, so we have a visibility and socialization not available at traditional adoption facilities. We offer a full cafe menu, complete with coffee, tea, mocktails, and pastries. Enjoy the best of both worlds at Katy's! Sarasota's only cat cafe!

What do you value most about your VSC partnership?

I value the outreach events for giving me the opportunity to meet more businesses and individuals in the community. I also value the marketing focus on tourists, considering that is my main demographic.

Do you offer specials and/or any special events?

Yes, we offer cat yoga, Qi Gong, art workshops, and more! Come for our Feline Friday Fifteen special to get 15% off admissions price every Friday.

If you could describe what you do in one sentence, what would it be?

Rescue cats and serve coffee!
