Sharing the inspiration behind the venture, Kabir says, 'It was the brainchild of my friend Anil. The idea to open a pet education centre has been on our minds for over three years now, and finally, in May 2025, we launched our first centre in Goa. It's the first-of-its-kind screen-free pet education centre in India.' Kabir emphasizes the need for real-life interaction with animals in a world dominated by screens and isolated lifestyles. 'People have seen pets on screen but never felt them in reality. It's an intimate hidden gem—a place to bond with pets and develop mutual respect and knowledge. It's heartwarming to see the reactions when people of all ages interact with the pets.' Visitors to cafe get to play with friendly animals like hedgehogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and hamsters in a safe, joyful environment.
