Our Vision

Our vision is a world where all animals are treated with dignity and respect. We strive to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters, and to give homeless cats a second chance.

Our Founder - Carla Gowrie

Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I am passionate about animal welfare. When I visited my first cat café a few years ago, what I wanted to do in my next chapter started to come in to focus. I had a vision where I could combine my business and education experience with my love for animals. And that is how All the Single Kitties cat café was born. My success is measured by the number of cats lives that are saved. I have found a unique way to connect people with cats, and I love being able to share it with you. With gratitude, Carla

Our Purpose

All the Single Kitties Cat Cafe is a small, woman-owned business that opened in November 2022. During our first year, we found forever homes for over 100 cats. Our mission is to improve the lives of homeless cats until they find their forever homes. We partner with a local rescue who saves cats within the state of Connecticut from abandonment, abuse, and neglect. Our café provides a sanctuary for these cats to decompress and thrive until they find their forever homes. It’s no secret that spending time with animals brings joy and peace into our lives and reduces stress. At our café, guests are able to visit with our adoptable cats in a relaxed and fun environment. They may choose to adopt a cat, or just to come for the therapeutic benefit of spending quality time with cats. Our goal is simple: to make cats and people very happy.
