Granby's New Cat Café Has An Opening Date

GRANBY, CT — Cat lovers can start booking visits to 9 Lives Café, which has announced a Nov. 21 opening at 335 Salmon Brook St.

The business announced the date in a Facebook post and said reservations for its cat lounge are now available through the café's website.

“We can't wait to welcome you, introduce you to the cats, and share the space we've worked so hard to create,” the café wrote in its opening announcement on Facebook.

The café will begin with a limited food and beverage menu of prepackaged snacks, bottled drinks and coffee while improvements to its kitchen continue, according to the announcement.

Patch first reported plans for the café in May, when owner Holly Kundrata introduced the project and Enfield Community Cat Project announced it had been selected as the rescue partner.

The earlier announcement described a business bringing together coffee, pastries and opportunities to spend time with adoptable cats.

The café's website describes a separate, cat-free café area with interior windows looking into the cat lounge. Visitors can enter the lounge to meet the adoptable cats.

“Thank you for your support throughout this journey,” the business wrote in its opening announcement. “We look forward to seeing you on November 21st!”
