Constellation Cat Cafe

Constellation Cat Cafe is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization, located in East Lansing, Michigan. Our mission is to create a safe environment for all people to discover the joy of pet ownership through education, inclusive events, and outreach. We support local animal rescue shelters in capacity building and finding homes for adoptable cats.

Cat cafes are as amazing as they sound — coffee shops full of cats. Originating in Taiwan in 1998, the popularity has continued to spread around the world. Constellation Cat Cafe has lattes, tea, milkshakes, yummy treats, and 6-20 adoptable rescue kitties (in a separate room from the coffee shop). You can spend time in the cat room with a rental. We also host events like trivia, craft sessions, and more.

At Constellation Cat Cafe, we strive to foster a safe environment where intentional inclusivity and growth in the understanding of other perspectives can flourish. Our experience has shown us that a variety of ideas coming from a variety of identities is what allows for a successful and innovative establishment. Safe space in the eyes of Constellation Cat Cafe means a place where everyone, especially those from the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Neurodivergent, Houseless, Disabled communities and other marginalized groups can exist without fear of discrimination.

Finally, all donations to Constellation Cat Cafe are tax-deductible, and support a variety of ongoing operations and projects. Mainly, donations provide funding for food, litter, toys, and medical care for our (often) 20+ feline residents. Additionally, donations support renovation projects for our future home located in Lansing, Michigan. As this house was constructed in the late-1800s, we have been busy remodeling with the hopes of moving-in during the Spring/Summer of 2024.
