Charlotte's cat café celebrates its 1,000th adoption

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte's very first cat cafe is celebrating its 1,000th cat adoption.

Mac Tabby Cat Café, located in NoDa, said Leo Wyatt snagged the title of 1,000th cat adopted in a special double-adoption with another cat, Reddi Whip. 

"Double adoptions are the best, but this one was epic," Mac Tabby wrote on Facebook.

Mac Tabby was founded by Lori, a self-proclaimed cat lady, who wanted to do something for homeless cats in the Charlotte area. Lori had heard about other cat cafes overseas and thought to herself, "why don't I just start my own in Charlotte?"
