Hello, we are Homey Cafe! We are a social enterprise entrepreneurial team composed of a group of college students and we plan to open a social enterprise cat cafe within one year.
First, let us introduce what's behind our name. Homey - meaning a place that feels at home, comfortable and friendly. We hope to bring this feeling to all our customers, employees, and stray cats.
As a social enterprise, we would like to provide supported employment for young people with autism, so that they can have real work experience and improve their chances of employability. With proper training and the assistance of professional social workers, they will be equipped with different skills including making coffee, packing goods, as well as taking care of stray cats. This not only enhances their sense of competence, but also enables them to reintegrate into the free market and achieve self-reliance.
However, what makes us stand out from ordinary cat cafes is our social value. We would like to save stray cats from a tragic ending, so they can live a life with a happy ending. Through our business operation, we will provide the cats with temporary shelter and let more people have the opportunity to socialise with them. It is our ultimate desire to let people understand the story of each stray cat and help the right person find the right cat to live happily ever after!
