Clearwater, FL – A new hangout for Tampa Bay area cat lovers will launch soon. Purring Cats Cafe, founded by Monica Ancu, is preparing to open at 2440 State Rd 580, Clearwater, FL 33761. The upcoming business is still awaiting permits, but if all goes smoothly, Ancu confirmed with Business Debut that she plans to welcome guests in January or February 2026. We came across the story first in What Now.
A Cozy Community for Cat Lovers
Ancu will run the cafe independently and envisions Purring Cats Cafe as a warm and playful environment for adoptable cats, where guests can enjoy coffee and pastries while spending time with their pets. The 1,750-square-foot space will feature table seating, as well as couches, beanbags, and lounge chairs.
“This is not just a business but more a community space where people who love animals can come and interact and be happy spending time with them,” Ancu shared. “I see this as a community space where animals are safe and treated with safety, respect, and love.”
Purring Cats Cafe anticipates opening six days a week (Wednesday through Monday), from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. on weekends, with Tuesdays closed.
Menu and Special Activities
Purring Cats Cafe will partner with local bakeries to offer baked goods, snacks, and gluten-free options. Coffee-based drinks, soft beverages, and monthly specialty drinks will round out the menu…
