Please Help New Zealand’s longest running cat café in Birkenhead stay open
My partner and I frequent Purrs & Beans cat cafe in Birkenhead alot. It's run by a lovely couple that do it primarily to help rescue cats. They both work full-time jobs to support the cafe, but because they have so many special needs cats they have had some massive vet bills in the last few years.
They are running a pledgeme campaign to remain viable, pay off their vet bill debt, and have a buffer for future vet bills. Please check it out at www.pledgeme.co.nz...
Or you can give them a visit, or donate monthly as a Purr Pal and receive complimentary visits. If you're looking to adopt a cat they have rescued kittens/cats that you can meet and fall in love with.

If you can help at all it would be much appreciated.
(I don't work for them, I just appreciate what they do, and all the unpaid hours they've put into this endeavour just to help cats)
