      Animal Encounters

      Favorite thing: AffoGATO Cat Café

      I. Love. Animals.

      For me, I truly believe I have a spiritual connection to animals; they soothe my soul, and a lot of times I prefer their company to the company of people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      So last night when my friend Clare asked if I wanted to go check out AffoGATO, a cat café in Tremont, my answer was a resounding "YES."

      Located on the corner of Starkweather and Professor in Tremont, AffoGATO is a "safe and fun environment for cats to play, cuddle, and explore," as much as it is "a place for people to relax, study, or work." The cat room is open and inviting, with plush chairs, couches, and desks for humans, and plenty of cat trees, toys, comfy beds, and hiding spaces for the four-legged occupants. There are three resident cats, Prince, Ash, and Smeagol, and other kitties available for adoption; all of the cats are rescues from the Cleveland APL. Since opening in January 2019, 143 cats have found fur-ever homes! The café part of AffoGATO, located right next to the cat room (don't worry! All food is prepared off-site and the café and cat room have separate HVAC systems), serves delicious coffee drinks and treats with a fun, cat-themed twist: try the Café Au Lay-on-your-Keyboard, the Meowcchiato, or their specialty, the affoGATO, your choice of ice cream drowned in espresso with all the fixings. The café also offers plant milk alternatives as well as vegan ice cream options from Mitchell's and at least one vegan pastry item (I had a cupcake!), and most of their drink options are gluten free.

      AffoGATO is open Wednesday-Sunday from 11am to 9pm. You can buy an hour, day pass, or special event ticket, and to keep the kitties stress-free and ensure you get maximum cat time they allow 15 people in the lounge at a time. You can make a reservation online, by phone, or walk-in (online reservations get priority).

      To learn more about AffoGATO, their mission, meet the cats, and book a reservation, visit affogatocatcafe.com

      And if anybody ever wants to take a post-work cat cuddle trip, AffoGATO is 10 minutes away, and I am 100% IN.

      Celebrating Milestones

      So I'm pretty excited to be turning 40 this week.  I had grand ideas about what this celebrate would look like, mainly me trekking 40 days solo in Portugal.  But alas, life unfolds in different ways and the season will not allow that.  Still, I'm celebrating all month in different ways, mostly with the help of my family and I'd love to hear either imagined or realized plans to celebrate big life milestones and what has been particularly meaningful?  Some smaller things I'm planning:

      -Going on a 40 mile bike ride and celebrating my strength

      -Getting a day pass to a resort to enjoy with my daughter and spouse

      -Requesting 4 different birthday cakes (gluten free of course) to celebrate each decade of life

      Let me know what you have done or image you want to do!  And I'm still dreaming of trekking in Portugal, just not this year 🙂
