Purringtons Cat Lounge (sometimes Purrington's Cat Lounge or simply Purringtons), is a cat café located in Portland, Oregon , in the United States. The establishment bills itself as "the first cat cafe and adoption center in the Pacific Northwest".[1]
Description and history
Purringtons opened on January 24, 2015 at 3529 Northeast Martin Luther King Blvd. in the Boise neighborhood.[2] More than 300 people attended its opening.[3] The business is owned by Kristen and Sergio Castillo. Kristen was inspired to create Purringtons in October 2013, after seeing her friend share a video from Le Café des Chats in Paris.[3] The business has partnered with the Sherwood-based rescue organization Cat Adoption Team (CAT) to facilitate cat adoptions.[3]
The cafe was expected to close in November 2018.[4][5] However, ownership transferred to Garrett Simpson and Helen Harris in January 2019. The reopening date has not been announced.[6] After being closed for nine months and undergoing a renovation, Purringtons reopened in February 2020.[7]
