Ep120 - Diane Kelly and Sarah Dellea

Interview! Diane Kelly and Sarah Dellea, Founder and General Manager of the Purr Cat Cafe, Boston, MA

“We want Purr to be an opportunity to give back to the community.”

After working for thirty years in the medical field, Diane Kelly’s plans for opening her own business coincided with her love of cats after experiencing cat cafes in Georgetown and New York on a cross country road trip. Boston’s first ever cat café, Purr Boston Cat Café, is scheduled to open this winter, offering an array of events including movie nights, yoga, speed dating, and, of course, coffee, all while facilitating a safe home and adoption opportunities for homeless cats. Diane has paired with Boston’s Forgotten Felines, an organization providing TNR for feral cats and foster care for abandoned cats. She and Purr’s general manager Sarah Dellea chat with Stacy about the Flutter fundraiser, the challenges faced with opening a cat café, and all Purr has to offer.
