The 'Purrfect' Job Opening in Georgetown: Must Love Cats

Crumbs & Whiskers, DC’s first “cat cafe,” is coming to Georgetown this summer and if you love cats, there are a few “purr-fect” job openings:

“Crumbs & Whiskers is looking for three cat loving visionaries to join forces with the founder and bring DC an awesome cat cafe this summer.”

The cat cafe is set to open this summer at 3211 O St. NW in Georgetown.

Eater DC reports that not only has the soon-to-be owner of Crumbs & Whiskers raised way more than its goal on Kickstarter, but the DC government has also given its approval.

Owner Kanchan Singh has raised $35,881 using a Kickstarter campaign. She was only going for $15,000.

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

Singh anticipates a mid to late-summer opening for Crumbs & Whiskers.
