TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Topeka Cat Café is capping off its first year in business with special giveaways this summer as it celebrates helping more than 400 local felines find new homes.
Toni Fowler and April Liang, co-founders of the Topeka Cat Café, are celebrating their one-year anniversary this July with giveaways and special events. The women say they have brought in thousands of visitors over the first year and helped 440 cats get adopted.
The Topeka Cat Café, together with the local rescue organization Team Kitten, have used the new business to get cats connected with new owners. Guests who visit the café are encouraged to de-stress with the resident cats and consider adopting one or two.

“It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year and helping so many cats find their forever homes in that time has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life,” Fowler said. “We started Topeka Cat Café with a deep love for cats and a vision to create a space where people could de-stress and connect. Seeing the community embrace that vision has been really incredible, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to Team Kitten for helping us make it happen.”
Fowler and Liang are giving back to the community with some activities and giveaways during July. These include the following:
- Gift card giveaways – free to enter and no purchase is required.
