Downtown Las Vegas is getting Nevada’s first cat cafe.

Cat lovers will be able to sip coffee and adopt furry felines once Meow or Never Cafe opens in April on East California Avenue, around the corner from Makers & Finders and Hop Nuts Brewing.

More than 30 cat cafes have opened around the country in the past four years, from Seattle to Minneapolis to Washington, D.C. At most of them, guests can purchase coffee or food and then consume them in the company of cats.

At a pop-up adoption event at Hearts Alive Village on Saturday, founder Rhiannon Gladney announced she had secured a lease for a 1,500-square-foot space on East California Avenue.

Gladney had been planning to open her cafe in the southwest valley later this year, but she ended up finding affordable space downtown that fit the needs of her business.
