Moon Cat Cafe is a one-woman operation founded by Janet Pao, a 30 year old Taiwanese-American. Janet graduated from Cornell University and worked in consumer technology for six years prior to starting Moon Cat Cafe.
Janet founded Moon Cat Cafe because she wanted to create a unique cat cafe that not only stands out from the rest, but is also able to help many local non-profit cat rescues instead of just one. By being mobile, Moon Cat Cafe is the only cat cafe that can bring the experience to the masses and develop valuable relationships with diverse communities across LA County and Orange County.
About the cafe:
When you enter Moon Cat Cafe, you step into a small cat-and-coffee themed boutique, filled with the aroma of freshly brewed gourmet coffee. You're greeted by the founder and introduced to the local partnering non-profit cat rescue, whose adoptable cats are featured in the cat cafe area just ahead. The cat cafe area is separated from the boutique area with a tempered glass door, through which you can see the cats and visitors interacting in a small cafe setting with modern decor and interactive cat furniture. You have the option of purchasing a cat cafe visit ($12), which includes a drink and a fresh-baked pastry, as well as unlimited time in the cat cafe area.
"I see Moon Cat Cafe as a fleet of mobile cat cafes operating all around southern California, bringing the cat cafe experience to everyone at an affordable price. I will also have local non-profit partnership expansion to offer much-needed mobile services, such as cat therapy for senior citizen communities, pet microchipping for low-income neighborhoods, and delivery of free pet food to homeless citizens with pets."
How to visit:
Currently, all events for the near-future are listed on the Moon Cat Cafe event calendar. Visitors are accepted at the events on a first-come, first-serve basis. (No reservations available, except for private events.)
