About this project
This is a place to chill and bond with one of nature's most interesting and adorable (and sometimes very sleepy) creatures!
You love cats, but a family member is allergic or
Your landlord doesn't allow pets or
You don't have time to care for a pet or
You travel too much or
You are visiting Evansville or
You just need to disconnect from life and hang with a cat. :)
River Kitty Cat Café wants to provide a place for you, and for all lovers of cats! In order to do that, we need your help. We have some wonderful ideas, but we can't do it alone.
We are self-funding $20,000 for a portion of the start-up costs, but your pledges will help us get the rest of the way there! We want to show you where your money is going, so we've compiled a table to show you how the funds are being allocated:
(Café Costs are comprised of the following: Kitchen/Café renovations · Kitty Lounge renovations · Bathroom renovations)
Don't worry though, when we hit our mark we can always do more! As you can imagine, expansions to the business can be quite costly, and we have several ideas already on how we'd like to expanded the business. We can get a good foot (or paw) forward on these additions with your contributions. Here's what we have in mind for our stretch goals:
We know you'll enjoy the benefit of having a fabulous location to spend quality time with our kitties. By reaching out to local businesses we have created gifts that we think our supporters will ❤️! It will be exciting to see people around town using these gifts and we hope you'll enjoy them as well. The support you show River Kitty is also shown to the entire Evansville community and it means the world to us.
Risks and challenges
The cat café business model is new to our community so we are creating our very own blueprint! Your support paves the way for our success.
We will announce an opening date as we get further along in the project. Stay tuned to our Facebook page (Facebook.com/riverkittycatcafe) and visit us at riverkittycatcafe.com.
We want you to have a paw-some experience so we're working diligently to put together a purr-fect staff. Many of you have expressed an interest in being part of our team and we're looking forward to meeting you.
We are dedicated to this project. A successful Kickstarter will move us along quicker and bring our feline friends downtown sooner. We're thankful to live in a community that loves and supports animals, and look forward to a successful and cat-tastic project!
Thank you, thank you! ❤️ Annette and Nancy
