Chapel Hill has a new cat café, and it's paw-sitively adorable.
Cat Tales Cat Café opened this past Valentine's Day, and it features 12 adoptable cats for visitors to love. The café acts as a foster home for its partner, The Goathouse Refuge in Pittsboro, N.C. Cat lovers can reserve one hour with the cats for $12 each, and up to 10 people can reserve an hour slot.
Co-owner Katy Poitras said that some visitors come in with the intention of finding a cat to adopt, but others just come to enjoy cat cuddles. She added that she sometimes becomes emotional after a cat is adopted, but it's ultimately a rush to find an animal a new home.
