Over the last decade, I have fostered cats and kittens, many that needed to be bottle-fed. I have noticed over the last year the number of cats and kittens that need homes. After fostering two kittens last year, one that I added to my personal family, I began thinking about how I can do more for them. Over the summer I visited a cat caf\u00e9 out of state and realized that I needed to bring this to Lakeland. After researching, I found out that Polk County is the #1 county in the state of FL for euthanizations. And 70% of that is because there is no room for them in shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am creating a space for cats that are in need of homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Purrology Clip 4\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QGr9v_WAhDw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purrology welcomes families to come to create memorable experiences. When guests enter the cat lounge\u2014paid by the hour\u2014they will have hands-on interactions, socializing with free-roaming cats that need adoption. The loving atmosphere removes the harsh cages, which provides each feline with playtime and human interaction. The overall experience will increase the life quality for the felines while being in our care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have already been contacted by numerous cat shelters that want to team up! As well as a local baker and a local coffee brewer. Every day I am receiving messages on our Facebook, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/purrologycafe\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/purrologycafe\">Purrology Caf\u00e9<\/a>, from locals and businesses saying they love what I am bringing and support us 100%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support is pouring over into a campaign on Indiegogo where we are trying to raise funds to help with startup costs. 100% of funds will go to the cat area that needs to equip for humans and felines. The funds will be used for items such as guest seating, cat furnishings, and cat supplies. In 5 days the community has helped us raise 56% of our goal! Again, showing us the support for our mission!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Purrology Cafe Promo\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5y4JuDbsnZ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign can be found on the Purrology Caf\u00e9 page, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/purrology-cat-cafe\/x\/27643380?fbclid=IwAR2jMXUkaSKvvHvHqs5oOpxH8tIqRktWWXlQaCQ5392sFTdR8t7AvgOvM90#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purrology Cat Cafe | Indiegogo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for taking your time to read this email and I hope that together we can make an impact on the lives of local pets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kristina Schuster<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"680\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/242890004_180070167556212_2507651682811334706_n.jpg?resize=526%2C680&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/242890004_180070167556212_2507651682811334706_n.jpg?w=526&amp;ssl=1 526w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/242890004_180070167556212_2507651682811334706_n.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Kristina and I am a citizen of Lakeland.
