Project ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​‌​​⁠Paw Cat Cafe is a small cat lounge inside Love YOU More, a community space on Northampton Street in downtown Easton, across from the State Theatre. The room previously housed Betty's Corner, a cat cafe run by the Center for Animal Health and Welfare until mid-2025, and was reopened as Project Paw Cat Cafe by Love YOU More in early 2026. A few friendly rescued cats live in the lounge, which is furnished with cat trees, toys and coloring tables, and cat treats can be bought to share with them. Admission is charged per person, with lower rates for children, seniors and military, and includes a hot drink and a cookie. The same space holds the Threads of Love thrift store, whose sales benefit survivors of domestic violence, along with workshops and community programs. Walk-ins are welcome during opening hours.
