The concept of “cat café ‘originated in Taiwan in 1998 was then very popular in Japan. In cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen and New York, thousands of people visit every day a cat café for a cup of tea and a hug.

In the summer of 2014 claimed Lenny Popelier (32) a successful crowdfunding campaign and achieved thus 33,000 euros to realize its concept in the Netherlands. A total of 975 enthusiastic funders have the amount brought together. With the opening of Cups is the first cat café in the Netherlands and an event in Amsterdam.

Customers pay 3 Euro entrance fee and can then 2 hours indulge themselves with a ‘catuccino’ closeby. In addition to cakes and other sweets will be served a simple lunch. To ensure Cups remains a paradise for both cats and guests, there are clear house rules.
