Cat café craze is here & meow

Get ready for another cataclysmic opening.

Little Lions Teahouse, a cat café — halfsanctuary, half-café — is slated to open at 3840 Grand St. in the next few months.

The cat café craze, which launched in Taiwan in 1998 and later took off in Tokyo, is in full swing in the Big Apple, with two existing cat cafés on the Lower East Side and a current popup in Fort Greene.

The 1,660 squarefoot Soho space will have around 25 seats.

“Cat cafés are very popular. We’ve been getting many requests for popups,” said James Famularo of Eastern Consolidated, who represented the landlord. Adam Malitz of Lee & Associ ates repped Little Lions.

The biggest obstacle to opening a cat café is finding a landlord who is open to this kind of use. “Fortunately, this landlord is an animal lover,” Famularo said.

This cat café is divided into two separate spaces. Little Lions will sell gourmet tea and coffee, as well as baked goods and catthemed cookies and cakes “while the frolicking cats and kittens will be visible behind a glass wall in the other space,” Famularo said.

Little Lions will charge an entrance fee to visit the homeless cats, who come from Anjellicle Cats Rescue.
