HopCat A2

Had the distinct pleasure for visiting The Ann Arbor Art Fair last Saturday, with my sister and niece.

Hundreds if not thousands of gifted artists displayed their work, as well as nearby shops, musicians, restaurants, and many non-profit community outreaches.

It was HOT, it was SUNNY, and we were PARCHED.

Imagine how delighted we were to find: HopCat Ann Arbor

HopCat Catsup!

Thanks to my sister and niece, we chowed down on Caesar Salad and Mac-N-Cheese with bacon, for them, as I ate Vegan Tacos and drank multiple glasses of delightful unsweetened iced tea.

We won't mention the Cosmic Fries as they disappeared as if a mirage...

 

Revitalized, we spent a few more hours strolling, absorbing, chatting, and really enjoying ourselves.

Love finding cat-related items when least expecting it!

I posted about visiting HopCat Royal Oak on 25 July, 2017!

Tiny Lions Cat Lounge & Adoption Center

Ann Arbor, Michigan, is home to the famous University of Michigan, and has been a hippie mecca for a very long time.  Embracing an alternative lifestyle, the area is full of quirky bookstores, vegan restaurants, and both upscale and moderately priced shopping, real estate, and everything in between. 

Additionally, Ann Arbor has Tiny Lions Lounge and Adoption Center!  The Humane Society of Huron Valley places adoptable cats and kittens in this setting, to allow potential furrever humans (or cat-loving visitors, like me!) to interact with them.  There are sofas, chairs, cat beds and cat climbs everywhere, plus plenty of room for board games, computer work, or the occasional yoga class.

The staff puts color coded tags on the cats's collars, to indicate their comfort level of human interaction.  If they were adopted, they also got a special tag to let visitors know that they are already spoken for! 

In addition, visitation time is limited to a maximum of one hour, and once you've paid the entrance fee of $7.00, you are handed a beeper that goes off once time is up.  Goes by much too fast, as you can imagine.

One more thing: The Humane Society of Huron Valley will NOT adopt out a cat to an adopter looking to declaw!  It's written into their adoption contract.  I did a happy dance when I heard this information.  It's the only way that I roll, so it's wonderful to know there is a growing tide of anti-onychectomy folks out there.
