Mochas and Meows, Branson's only cat cafe, recently celebrated five years in business.
Owned and operated by Mary Trexler, the business has enjoyed many milestones over the past five years!
Said Trexler, "Wow! It's been a journey so far. From opening our doors four months before a global pandemic in a city whose economy is driven solely on tourism, to over doubling in size to accommodate four times as many cats as we'd originally held. To say I'm overwhelmingly grateful would be an understatement."
In the last four years, Mochas and Meows has found homes for more than 300 cats through their partnership with the Branson Humane Society. They became the first cat cafe with its own in-home behavior team, and built the largest cat-themed gift shop in Missouri. Additionally, Trexler and her team founded a trauma support group that utilizes the benefits of healing through animal companionship and founded a community outreach program to teach children how to safely and humanely interact with cats with an appropriate and trauma-informed approach.
"And, we're just getting started," said Trexler, hinting that Mochas and Meows has much more in store for the future.
Located at 3265 Falls Parkway, Suite V, Mochas and Meows offers a variety of delicious hot and cold beverages and several food options, including Purrninis. They also offer an animal encounter experience with amazing adoptable cats in a beautiful, clean environment. They also offer a variety of cat-themed events, such as cat yoga and cat bingo.
Referring to her five-year anniversary, Trexler said, "Thank you to all of our amazing Mochas and Meows family, whether you've been here since the beginning, or if you're just finding us now, I love and appreciate each and every one of you. Here's to another five years and beyond!"
