Cat Cafe to Open June 20 in Georgetown

Cat cafe Crumbs & Whiskers will officially open Saturday, June 20, in Georgetown, according to the owner, who posted the announcement Tuesday on the cafe’s Facebook page.

All cats at the cat cafe will be from the Washington Humane Society and up for adoption. Kanchan Singh notes that she became interested in starting her own cat cafe after celebrating her 24th birthday at a cat cafe in Thailand.

The cafe is located at 3211 O St. NW.

• June 19: Launch Party! This is the night of our official launch party. The launch party has already sold out, but we will be posting photos and videos on our Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, and Snapchat (@crumbswhiskers). So if you weren’t able to get a pass to the launch, don’t worry - you’re pretty much going to feel like you are at the party!
