      The Orlando Cat Café Story

      Learn how Orlando Cat Café is distinctly positioned to lead the cat franchise industry!

      Every shelter cat has a future owner somewhere out in the world waiting to love and cherish them, even if they haven’t yet met.

      At Orlando Cat Café, we designed our business and our franchise model to help cats and owners make that vital connection, provide an essential community service, and transform lives …all in a highly appealing, welcoming café setting.

      A Curious Tale

      Our cat café franchises were built around a simple concept: create a partnership directly between shelters and café owners to establish custom-built spaces developed with guest and cat comfort — and hygienic, responsible café management — foremost in mind.

      It’s a business approach that’s helped make us Florida’s longest-running and fastest-growing cat café brand and aided us in our mission to be an agent of paw-sitive change for shelter cats and kittens across the U.S.

      Orlando Cat Café founder Sandra Cagan lives with an eye toward the future and the legacy she will pass on to succeeding generations.

Sandra’s leadership as a pioneer in the women franchise sector has inspired a new generation of entrepreneurs to explore the potential of combining animal care with business.

      Becoming an Orlando Cat Café franchise owner aligns you with a brand that’s fur real. We’re ready to help and ready to grow, and that gives you the tools to help make it all happen.

      Industry Data

      Essential Data on the Cat Café Industry

      Shelter cats need our help and love to live long, happy lives. It’s a fact that’s aiding the rise of the cat café franchise nationwide.

      Cats enter shelters at a higher rate than dogs, with approximately 3.2 million cats entering U.S. shelters every year.¹

      Life in a shelter can significantly impact a cat’s life. Over the past year, 330,000 shelter cats were euthanized — again at a higher rate than shelter dogs.²

      The number of cats in shelters nationwide continues to grow, fueling an ongoing capacity crisis that must be addressed for the good of the shelters and their residents.³
