On January 31st, a new cat cafe opened in the Eugene-Springfield area. Yes, you read that correctly-a cat cafe! The Eugene Springfield Cat Lounge has just become one of only two cat cafes in the entire state (the only other is in Bend since Portland’s Purrington’s closed down in late 2022). Located on the corner of Prescott and Centennial just a few minutes east of Autzen stadium, those in the area now have a new and unique way to adopt a pet or just hang out with some cool cats.
