A while a back a friend of mine achieved a dream by starting a cat café in Springfield, Illinois. The café not only allowed cat-lovers and felines to mingle, but promoted responsible adoption practices, taught cat-care best practices, and encouraged direct work in animal welfare in the area.

Tragedy struck a few days ago. Another concern in the shared building caught fire, causing the complete destruction of the property.

Thankfully, all the cats were evacuated and no lives were lost, human or otherwise.

As you can imagine, such a passion project isn't planning to go quietly into the night. But restarting is a massive hurdle and burden for people who already invested so much into establishing the original operation. Not to mention the base fact that everyone involved still needs to pay rent, bills, and generally live their lives in the meantime.

If you're able to donate, please consider doing so. You can visit their website at:

Even the price of a cup of coffee is a big help. Thanks for reading.
