Mini Cat Town, a cat lounge and adoption center at the Stanford Shopping Center, is closing on April 2nd due to its temporary pop-up status. After facing city enforcement issues, co-owner Thoa Bui hopes to find a new lease in Palo Alto. The lounge has garnered community support, emphasized by a petition with 1,791 signatures against its closure. If a new location isn't found by the deadline, cats will be moved to other nonprofit sites in nearby cities. The Bui sisters started their animal rescue efforts from a young age, illustrating their longstanding commitment to cat welfare.
"It seems like people really enjoy the kittens ... They love our cause. The community has been very, very supportive," she said.
"The city gave Mini Cat Town 30 days to re-home all cats, cease operations and leave the space, the petition said."
"If Mini Cat Town doesn't have a new location by April 2, then the cats would be moved to the nonprofit's other locations at malls in Milpitas, San Jose, Pleasanton and Santa Rosa," Bui said.
"Mini Cat Town was a hit, so Bui said she's hoping to sign a lease somewhere else in Palo Alto before closing at Stanford on April 2."
