‘Each cat has an entire story:’ Charlotte’s first cat café celebrates 1,000th adoption

Less than five years since Charlotte’s first cat café opened, Mac Tabby Cat Café has hit a major milestone. The local business known for serving up coffee, craft beer and cat cuddles celebrated its 1,000th adoption Tuesday evening at its NoDa location. And No. 1001, too. “Each cat has an entire story of how it wound up at Mac Tabby. We have been able to tell one thousand stories so far, and it’s the greatest honor,” owner Lori Konawalik, the self-proclaimed “lead cat wrangler,” said via email.
 
We’ll tell you all about the special feline who gets to have 1,000 as part of his story, but for those unfamiliar with Mac Tabby, here’s a quick rundown on the café that serves as part coffee shop, part rescue mission. HOW MAC TABBY WORKS Origins: Mac Tabby was founded on the idea of bringing together good energy, good people, great coffee, craft beer and cats, Konawalik said. With the help of 299 Kickstarter backers, the business — which doubles as a foster home for rescued cats — opened Dec. 16, 2017, on North Davidson Street before moving to its permanent home in NoDa in 2019. Mac Tabby was so successful that it opened a second location in Concord on May 1, 2021.
