SYRACUSE — Central New Yorkers have a new spot to grab a coffee, a snack, and relax with a few furry, feline friends.
Pawsitivitea CNY has opened in a 1,200-square-foot space at the CNY Regional Market at 2100 Park St., according to JF Real Estate, which helped arrange the transaction. Matt Funiciello and Alec Sessa were the agents.
The concept for the business is simple: coffee and tea, baked goods, and cats. Owner Alisha Reynolds said this is the first of two cat cafés planned for the Syracuse area.
The dining room and cat-lounge area will be separate. The café will serve as a satellite location for the CNY SPCA and Reynolds said she is also working with the CNY Cat Coalition and other organizations to provide the cats for the café. All the cats, about a dozen or so at a time, will be available for adoption.
Along with the regular café hours, Pawsitivitea CNY will host paint nights, movie nights, cat yoga, and other special events.
