The Facts

Cat's Meow opened at 12065 Manchester Rd. in October 2007.

"Everybody needs personalized gifts," said Kristin Held, who has been the manager at Cat's Meow for over three years. "We have gifts for every occasion, from Mother's Day to graduation to Christmas, and we also sell home decor and jewelry."

Held says that the monogramming aspect of the business helps set customers' experiences apart from other stores.

"We add a personal touch to make gifts more special," Held said. "We are constantly trying to make things different and unique."

Through this weekend, the store is having a 50 percent off sale on their Lindsay Phillips shoes.

Additionally, the store is participating in the Glennon Card program from Oct. 28-Nov. 6. Customers who purchase a card from the Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation will receive 20 percent off anything in the store during those 10 days.
