Crumbs & Whiskers, Washington DC’s First Cat Cafe, Will Open its Georgetown Doors to the Public June 20: All Felines Vetted and Vaccinated by the Cafe’s Partner, the Washington Humane Society


Crumbs & Whiskers, Washington DC’s first cat cafe, will open its Georgetown doors to the public June 20 after a successful Kickstarter campaign raised twice as much as the owner expected.

Owner Kanchan Singh plans several pre-grand opening parties to thank those Kickstarter supporters.

Crumbs & Whiskers, at 3211 O St. NW, will have about two dozen felines in residence at a time, all vetted and vaccinated by the cafe’s partner, the Washington Humane Society.

Why would you go to a cat cafe?

A boyfriend who’s allergic to cats, stress relief or just the desire to enjoy a cat’s company without the responsibility of owning one, Singh’s Kickstarter pitch suggests.

She also says the cats have a much better chance of being adopted in an environment like this than they would in cages at the Humane Society.

Singh signed a lease for the O Street space in April and spent the last two months going through the permit and building process.

The Crumbs & Whiskers Kickstarter campaign had an original goal of $15,000, and raised almost $36,000 from more than 700 backers.

Washington DC's Cat Café, Crumbs & Whiskers Kickstarter Launch - You're Invited to the Festivities - Sunday, March 8th (Rescheduled from March 1st)


So that pesky snowstorm postponed the Crumbs & Whiskers Kickstarter Launch Party, but fear not! It's rescheduled to THIS Sunday. RSVP MEOW and get in on the action at Penn Social.

What is Crumbs & Whiskers?

Cats. desserts. Tea. Cats. Books. Coffee. Cats.

...Did we mention Cats?!

Crumbs & Whiskers brings together some amazing things. Specifically coffee, tea, desserts, and you guessed it...cats! DC's cat cafe will serve as a foster home for the Washington Humane Society's shelter cats and as a really fun place to hang out for DC residents. The concept is pretty simple. Cats in cages are sad, so we get them out of there. Anyone without a cat is sad (or should be), so we hook them up. Then, we give everybody desserts and coffee and tea. The end.
