Mews + Brews Cat Café, the recently announced project that aims to open late this year, today launched their Kickstarter campaign. The fundraiser will help cover the cost of securing a location for the cafe in Summerville, and renovating the space to make it more cat-friendly.
“We are so excited to launch our kickstarter campaign,” founder Cait Cox said. “With lots of cool rewards and add-ons, we hope people enjoy pledging to the campaign and becoming a part of the cafe's journey.”
Mews + Brews has collaborated with Charmed & Cozy, a local designer, to create exclusive rewards for the Kickstarter campaign. These rewards include a vinyl sticker, an enamel pin, and a t-shirt that have been designed exclusively for the campaign. Other rewards include things like free tickets to the cafe's pre-opening party, name plaques on the wall in the cafe, and free visits to the cafe after opening.
Once the Kickstarter is funded, Cox says they will secure a location and announce an opening date for Summerville's first cat cafe.
“We look forward to joining the growing town of Summerville and creating a space that is truly comfortable and welcoming,” Cox said. “This kickstarter will help make our dream a reality.”
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing crowdfunding platform, so if Mews + Brews doesn't reach their goal, they don't get any of the money. They are hoping to reach their campaign goal before their 45-day deadline, and get to work outfitting a space in Summerville.

Once open, Mews + Brews will offer pre-packaged drinks and food items from local vendors. Visitors will be able to enjoy their purchases by the bar, or take their food and drink into the cat lounge to spend time with adoptable cats from Dorchester Paws.
