It all started with a 19-year-old on a mission to help our kitty community. From a young age, she was always bringing strays home—she even once brought a cat back 400 miles from vacation after finding him scared and alone in a McDonald’s parking lot in the middle of the night. (Jinxy Man is still part of the family!) After moving back to Oklahoma and seeing the overwhelming need for cat rescue in Logan County, she knew she had to do something. And so, Meow & Mocha was born—a place where cats find love, people find joy, and every sip supports a whiskered friend in need!

Why a Cat Cafe? Cat cafes create a relaxed, home-like environment where potential adopters can interact with cats in a stress-free setting, making it easier to form a genuine connection. Unlike traditional shelters, where cats may be anxious or overwhelmed, a café allows their true personalities to shine. Guests can spend time playing, cuddling, and bonding with the cats, increasing the likelihood of finding the perfect match. Studies show that this immersive experience leads to higher adoption rates, as people feel more confident in their decision after spending quality time with their future furry companion. Plus, the café setting attracts visitors who may not have considered adoption otherwise, expanding the reach of rescue efforts and giving more cats a chance at a forever home.
