CATS & COFFEE: Mr. Kitty’s Cat Café is Coming to Downtown Eau Claire
5 Jan 2024
News, Eau Claire
The cat is out of the bag: A new cat café called Mr. Kitty’s Cat Café & Boutique will be opening in downtown Eau Claire, within a former church that most recently housed the Eau Claire Community Haven House (now located at 412 Washington St., Eau Claire). In collaboration with the Eau Claire County Humane Association, Mr. Kitty’s Cat Café will house 10-15 cats for patrons to meet, lounge with, and ultimately adopt.
The new establishment will be owned by Shelli Schuppel, who has been a self-proclaimed “cat person” since she was a child. “I lost my father when I was a little girl and that summer my mom let me have a cat,” Schuppel said. “That cat brought me so much joy. I think everybody should have that kind of love from an animal.”
