""Since our opening ten years ago, Crumbs & Whiskers has helped save thousands of cats. Our cafe is about creating a community that makes a real difference. This reopening represents a new chapter for us, but our mission remains the same: to make lives better, one paw at a time.""
""After many months of hard work, persistence, and blood, sweat, and tears, we are so happy to be returning to the cafe as a unionized team," Crumbs & Whiskers Workers United posted to its Instagram account."
""The union formation was never part of the closure. We closed to find new management, which is a separate thing than the unionization. We're now the only unionized cat cafe in the world.""
Crumbs & Whiskers cat cafe reopened in late March, claiming to be the first unionized cat cafe. Owner Kanchan Singh highlighted the cafe's mission to improve lives. The reopening followed a successful unionization effort by staff, who faced challenges like unsafe conditions and low wages. Employees announced their intention to unionize in January, but the cafe closed unexpectedly for management restructuring. A new store manager has been hired to address staff concerns, and the owner denied any connection between the closure and the unionization effort.
