“In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.”
—Terry Pratchett
“The purring of a cat…the sound of contentment and peace. A reminder for us to seek joy in the simplest things.”
—Unknown
After shopping for gifts and having lunch with Cecile, I spotted this unusual facility that at first I thought was a pet store but turned out to be a kitten lounge and adoption center called Mini Cat Town which was founded in 2015. it featured adoptable cats that guest can play and interact with. Their motto is “creating a safe haven for kittens in the Bay Area.” The nonprofit organization is run by three sisters: Thi, Thoa, and Tram Bui. Volunteers are the life oof Mini Cat Town. They are responsible for day to day care of the kittens on the adoption floors.
During the tail end of our shopping, I spent 20 minutes interacting with the cutest and playful kittens I have ever seen. The shelter provides an ethical, feather fishing pole teaser wand to engage the little kitties . It was both fun and very therapeutic, and I highly recommend visiting one of several of their centers in the Bay Area. It is a great place to take your kids and grandkids. Children 12 years and older may enter without a parent. Admission rates are $15 for everyone 12 years and up and $10 for children. There is no obligation to adopt. See Video clip!
Postscript: Back in the day, we had a cat named Samantha. She was a main coon cat with beautiful emerald eyes. She appeared to our kids and their live in nanny, Norlita, on our back lawn one day when they were very young. The fed her milk. She stayed with us for 18 years.
