Welcome to Downtown Rochester’s FIRST cat cafe, @pawsitivecaferoc 🐈
Owned by Suzanne Peters and John Denman, this cozy new spot allows you to interact and play with a number of furry little friends, 🐱 away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Stop by to relax and snuggle with one of the many friendly cats, while enjoying a cup of coffee from Canaltown Coffee Roasters or hot tea from @happyearthtea ☕️ They also offer (human 😉) treats from @redfernroc 🍪
Follow @pawsitivecaferoc to stay updated on upcoming events – movie nights, cat yoga, game nights and more! So happy to have this unique spot in #DowntownRoc at 120 East Ave ❤️
