affoGATO Cat Cafe
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. We provide a safe home for adoptable cats. You can then pay a small cover charge to relax, play, and work alongside these fantastic felines. We partner with several local businesses and artists in order to host fun, unique events and produce food, drinks, and merchandise. We're more than a cafe. We strive to be the heart of our community by bringing together cats, people, and businesses for the benefit of all. However, while we take pride in everything we do, from our excellent customer service to our high-quality and ethically sourced cafe treats, our greatest passion is cat welfare, socialization, and adoption.
