Cat cafe on Niagara Street set to close next month
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A popular cat cafe on Niagara Street is closing its doors in mid-June.
Buckminster's Cat Cafe at 577 Niagara St. will be closing on June 15, according to a Facebook post by owner Molly Hutton. Hutton said the cafe's lease is expiring and that 'it's just time for me to move on to other things.'
The cafe has been a staple in the community since November 2019. They offer locally roasted, coffee, tea and small plates, as well as a cat zone where visitors can reserve spots to spend time with furry friends from Second Chance Sheltering Network.
Hutton said cats up for adoption will be available until closing day and the rescue's two PetSmart locations will house the cats after June 15.
Nearly 1,000 cats have been adopted from the cafe since 2019.
