Similar to Sunshine Kitty Cafe across the bridge in St. Petersburg, South Tampa’s soon-to-open "Cats & Caffeine" is a lounge and cafe with a cause.

Cats & Caffeine will debut at 4033 Henderson Blvd. in South Tampa sometime this summer, although there is no exact grand opening date yet.

“Our mission is to create a one-of-a-kind experience where you can hang out with adoptable cats & kittens, sip on some caffeine, all while benefiting homeless cats,”  catscaffeine.com wrote.

It also mentions that the forthcoming cafe and lounge works closely with volunteer cat and kitten nonprofit Cat Lovers Inc. to temporarily house the furry friends until they are adopted.

It will soon offer both 25 and 50 minute “cat experiences,” in addition to walk-ins. Although there is no cafe menu on its website just yet, it states that there will be several types of cat-friendly events hosted at the lounge—including cat yoga, cats and wine gatherings, and movie nights.

You can can follow the cafe and lounge's Instagram at @catscaffeine for the latest sneak peeks and updates on its grand opening, slated to happen within the next few months.

Folks that would like to support Cats & Caffeine are welcome to purchase items like cat food, toys and beds off of its Amazon wish list , or donate directly to its GoFundMe page.
