The Meow Parlour opened its doors to a new location on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, following its first location nine years ago. It is designed by Sonya Lee Architects and it is a calm space where humans and cats can enjoy their time by playing or relaxing.
The Meow Parlour takes on the mission to bring care to cats at risk so it also functions as a non-profit organization that provides holistic care for felines. By doing this, it takes and fosters cats by addressing issues surrounding behaviors and physical concerns. This means that all the cats are able to receive comprehensive care different from one another. There, their medical needs are met including diabetic felines or three-legged cats.
