For many students, going to college means reluctantly leaving your hometown, your family, and most importantly, your pets. I’ve often found myself longingly staring at people walking their dogs on campus, desperately wanting to cuddle up to the next animal I see. Luckily, Seattle’s first cat cafe, Meowtropolitan, is just a quick bus ride away.
Combining two of life’s greatest joys, cats and coffee, Meowtropolitan provides a unique experience that lets you spend some quality time with local feline friends. For a flat fee of $10, you can order one of several espresso or tea based drinks and then spend an hour hanging out with some of the cutest cats you’ve ever seen.

Seattle Meowtropolitan has been playing coy with us for a while. In fact, you could say they’ve been playing “cat and mouse” with the entire city on when their cat cafe will open.
Too corny? Fine, we’ll stop right meow 🙂
But finally, after much fundraising, location scouting, partner acquiring and merch purchases – the Wallingford cafe is officially open!

June is often the month when Triple Crowns are awarded. So it might be an apt time to laud RASKC volunteers who: a) actively participate in three or more RASKC roles, or b) who average three or more weekly scheduled shifts, and/or c) have contributed 300 or more foster hours so far this year. Triple […]
Meet Liz! She is one RASKC’s longest serving volunteers who faithfully contributes a weekly shift, which she has been doing with cats at Reber Ranch since 2008. Liz is extremely proficient, extraordinarily reliable, and exudes great cheer. For many years Liz helped in taking care of all the laundry associated with RASKC’s cat-care at Reber Ranch. […]
Over the last few years Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) has gone through several transformations, putting more emphasis than ever before on connecting with the community and improving quality of life for the animals in our care. By the end of 2016, RASKC had officially reached a 90% Live Release Rate (LRR), meaning nine out […]
