The Strathmore Municipal Library's popular Cat Cafe returns on Saturday (Nov. 16).
The event is a joint effort between the library and Happy Cat Sanctuary, with this being the fourth time that the cafe has been set up in town.
According to public services manager Laura Henderson, the event runs a little differently from most cat cafes.
"We set up an area for visiting with the cats, and Happy Cat has volunteers that will man that area," said Henderson. "We will also have some treats as a fundraiser, which can be purchased outside of the room."
In previous years the Cat Cafe brought in hundreds of people and raised over $200 for the sanctuary. This year there will be eight cats up for adoption at the event.
"It's a great fundraiser for the library and Happy Cat, and it's also successful through the adoptions," added Henderson.
There is a limited amount of time people can spend in the cat area to prevent their furry friends from being overwhelmed.
Henderson added that you don't need to consider adopting a cat to attend the event.
"It's about supporting Happy Cat and the library, and the bonus is you get to cuddle with cats."
The Cat Cafe opens at 11 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m.
