7
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Excited to visit right now with Heather from the Catatude Cafe. Heather,

8
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>first of all, how long has the Catatude Cafe been around.

9
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 3>We've actually been here for just over two years now.

10
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>And the fun thing is we've got a comedy event

11
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>coming up at the end of the month. We'll talk

12
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>more about that here in a little bit. So if

13
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you like cats and you like comedy, you are in luck.

14
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 1>But you guys do coffee every day. You've got cats

15
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>in here all the time. What was the concept? How

16
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>did you come up with Catatude Cafe? Where did this

17
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>come from?

18
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so CA cafes have kind of been around the

19
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 3>United States for about twenty years now. I fell in

20
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 3>love with my first one in twenty eighteen in Minneapolis,

21
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 3>and I just really thought, you know, we seeing so

22
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>many cats and Sioux Falls, seeing the Humane Society pretty

23
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.119
<v Speaker 3>much full most of the time. We just figured both

24
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>the cats and the people could benefit from a space

25
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.159
<v Speaker 3>where they could enjoy each other's company.

26
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And the neat thing is the coffee

27
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is in one room, the cats are in a different room.

28
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 1>So if you're going, oh cats, coffee and food, no,

29
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>this is you know, this works really well. You've got

30
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>a good system.

31
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. We do have a space separate where we make

32
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>the beverages, where we keep the desserts. The desserts do

33
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 3>have to stand in the cafe side, but you can

34
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>take your beverage into the catroom with you, just before

35
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 3>warn they might try and steal a sip.

36
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And so how many cats do you have on a

37
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 1>regular basis? If people are going, oh cats, I love cats,

38
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I want to go in and snuggle with the cats,

39
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they can do that. How many cats do they have

40
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to choose from?

41
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we try and stay between fifteen to twenty adoptable

42
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 3>cats at any given time. Currently we're actually at twenty two,

43
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 3>so quite full in the catroom right now. Lots of options,

44
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 3>lots of varieties, sizes, colors, kind of anything you're looking for.

45
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Adoption is done through the Two Falls Area Humane Society.

46
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>And if somebody comes in here and they fall in

47
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 1>love with these cats, not all of them are adoptable,

48
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>but quite a few of them are adoptable where they

49
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>can they can say, hey, I like this one right here,

50
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to adopt this cat.

51
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely. We do have five residant kitties that kind

52
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>of help the new babies when they come in get

53
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 3>acclimated to the space. But we do keep callers on

54
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 3>the kiddies who aren't available. So any kitty without a caller,

55
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>you're good to adopt.

56
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>And how old are the cats typically? Are they elderly cats,

57
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>are they little kitty kitty cats? What kind of cats

58
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>do you have here or is it a variety?

59
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>We definitely get a variety. We don't usually keep kittens

60
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 3>around too long. They do go pretty quick, you know,

61
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of between two and ten year old. We have

62
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm on occasion we'll get a thirteen year old, very

63
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 3>very nice.

64
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So if somebody loves cats, and there are times where

65
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>people are like, oh man, I love cats, but my

66
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>spouse is allergic, so we can't have a cat, here's

67
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>a great opportunity. You can come in and get all

68
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the cats snuggles you want, and then you go home.

69
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to worry about feeding the cat or anything.

70
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's just the best of both worlds at yes, exactly.

71
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, one of our favorite things to say is,

72
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, the cats are definitely living their best nine

73
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 3>lives here. So if you can't adopt, you won't feel

74
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 3>guilty if you can't bring one home with you, and

75
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 3>it's a great space for you to be able to

76
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 3>get your kitty love.

77
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's talk about the fun events that you guys have,

78
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>because you do all kinds of fun things throughout the year.

79
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>But later this month there's a comedy event and if

80
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 1>people would like to get tickets, is it free? Do

81
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>they pay to come to this?

82
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Hou does all of this work absolutely, So we are

83
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 3>putting on a comedy show October twenty fourth at seven pm.

84
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be right in our catroom, so you

85
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>get to snuggle with kiddies and see a comedy show.

86
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 3>The price is twenty five dollars plus tax per person

87
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 3>and that's all going back to the cats. We're very

88
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 3>fortunate that the comedy is being a fundraiser for us.

89
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>I think that's going to be a lot of fun.

90
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 1>And Skyler Bowlks, who is hilarious, one of my favorite comics.

91
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely, I mean, who doesn't want to help out

92
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 3>some homeless kiddies.

93
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And they don't have to be homeless folks. So you

94
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>guys can adopt them. And if you want to adopt

95
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>them now you can in front of wait till the

96
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 1>comedy show you can. How does that work? What does

97
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>that process look like? If I show up and I

98
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with one of your cats, and if

99
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to adopt them, I just don't grab them

100
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and route the door. There's more to it, right.

101
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Yes, Unfortunately there's more to it, but it is

102
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 3>a pretty quick process, very easy to do. You have

103
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>a couple of options. When you're here. You can scan

104
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 3>our QR code and get the application done online and

105
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 3>then you're in contact with the Two Falls Area Humane

106
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Society via email or phone. Otherwise you're more than welcome

107
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 3>to pop out there. They're just about five minutes from here.

108
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Get the process all done with them, and then they'll

109
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 3>let us know you're approved and you're good to come

110
00:03:58.879 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 3>pick up your new baby.

111
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>So in that situation, I would actually pick the cat

112
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>up from the Catatoo cafe and take them home from here.

113
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Yes, absolutely, either way you would pick the cat up

114
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 3>from here, whether you pop out there, whether you get

115
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>the application done here, the kiddy will wait here for

116
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 3>you until you're ready to take it home.

117
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>So you can get your coffee to go, and then

118
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a situation you get your cat to go as well.

119
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Exactly.

120
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I love it. And now in addition to coffee, you

121
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>have some treats. What are the different things that you

122
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>guys have here that people need to know about the

123
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Cata Tuo Cafe.

124
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, so for starters, we do partner with CAFEA. For

125
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 3>our beans, there are local roastery in town. We love

126
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 3>supporting local as much as we can. And then for desserts,

127
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 3>we actually partner with the Cake Lady here in Sioux Falls.

128
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Not only is every dessert cat themed, but they taste

129
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 3>just as good as they look.

130
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 1>That is, and they look really good, so I can

131
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>imagine they taste really good, and the cake Lady is

132
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>known for really good stuff, and so as cafe. So

133
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>again you're supporting one local business and another local business

134
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and a third local business. And this business been around

135
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years, and there are going to be

136
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 1>people who go with the Cataitude Cafe. I've never heard

137
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>of that. You say you get that quite a bit still,

138
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 1>don't you.

139
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, surprisingly, we still get that quite a bit, you know.

140
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>With us downtown got the big open windows, I don't

141
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 3>think people can miss the cats necessarily, but I do think,

142
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, we'd love to get people who maybe don't

143
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 3>frequent downtown as often, or the people who are kind

144
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 3>of in the surrounding towns or on the outskirts of

145
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Souit Falls. We'd love to see your face down here.

146
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And let's talk to the people who've never been here before.

147
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 1>How in the world do we get them to find you?

148
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.279
<v Speaker 1>What is the This is a destination, So how if

149
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 1>you're telling somebody here's how you find the Cattude Cafe,

150
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>how do they find you?

151
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.959
