At Cattitude Cat Cafe in Vero Beach, Florida, owner Shari Tessier has created a haven where cats and cat lovers unite over coffee and cuddles. For just $15, visitors can enjoy a self-serve coffee station along with teas, sodas, and, of course, the main attraction—a rotating lineup of adoptable cats and full-time resident felines. The cafe offers these furry friends a cozy, shelter-free environment filled with love, attention, and plenty of opportunities for belly rubs and head scratches.

The cafe's mission is simple yet heartwarming: to help these cats find their forever homes while giving them a break from the often stressful shelter life. Guests are encouraged to spend quality time with the cats, creating bonds that might just lead to an adoption or two. So, whether you're looking to adopt or just in need of some feline therapy, Cattitude Cat Cafe is the purr-fect spot to relax, recharge, and maybe even fall in love with a whiskered friend.

Meet Nickels, the cat who turned up just when his humans needed him most. After a heart-wrenching tragedy, this whiskered wonder waltzed into their lives with all the charm of a cat who knows he's been hired to heal hearts, and he's been cashing in on his cuddles ever since.

Every 24 hours, 27,000 trees are cut down to make toilet paper. To us, that feels like way too many — and Honeycomb agrees. That’s why this small, female-founded brand created luxury, 3-ply toilet tissue made from bamboo. It feels just like regular high-end toilet paper, but doesn’t harm trees.

So why bamboo? It’s the fastest-growing plant in the world — growing 100 times faster than the average tree — which means thousands of rolls can be produced in the time it takes for a single tree to grow back.

Even better? Code PURR30 will give new customers 30% off their first order for the nexts 24 hours.

Thank you to Honeycomb for sponsoring Daily Purr.

Imagine a cozy spot where you can sip your favorite brew, dive into a book, or chat with friends, all while being surrounded by friendly felines eager for your attention. That’s the magic of a cat café—where coffee meets catnip, and your keyboard might just become a kitten’s napping spot. Whether you’re there to work or unwind, expect to be charmed by the playful or snoozing cats who may demand a quick ear rub or claim your lap as their throne.

Cat cafés have taken the world by storm since their humble beginnings in Taiwan in 1998, with the trend quickly spreading across Asia, Europe, and finally to the United States. These quirky cafés often feature a rotating cast of adoptable cats from local shelters, giving them a break from shelter life and a chance to find their forever homes. While sipping your coffee, you might just fall in love with a new feline friend, or at the very least, enjoy some quality purr therapy.

But before you visit, it’s wise to check the rules—some cafés charge an entry fee to help cover the cost of caring for their furry residents, and others may have specific guidelines to ensure a safe and happy environment for both cats and guests. Whether you’re on a mission to adopt or just looking to spend some time in the company of cats, a visit to a cat café promises to be a heartwarming experience filled with cuddles, coffee, and maybe a little cat hair.

In the time it takes to read today’s edition, an estimated 93 trees will be cut down to meet toilet paper demand. Honeycomb is helping to change that with luxury, three-ply tissue made from sustainable bamboo. It’s biodegradable, plastic-free, and will be delivered straight to you.

New customers can use code PURR30 for 30% off your first shipment. Expires tonight.
