The first Cat Café in North America has New Yorkers “feline” groovy. City-dwellers and tourists alike flocked to the Purina ONE Cat Café in the Bowery on Thursday morning for their chance to spend some quality time with some furry friends, while caffeining up on the pop-up's signature Cat'achino, a cappuccino with a foam feline on top. All of the kittens were provided by North Shore Animal League, the largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption shelter in the country.
