nurturing environment for both feline friends and the community that envelops
it.
Joyful warmth with some furry friends
The cat café haven provides a place where
compassion and warmth entangle with the presence of some new furry friends. As
a vibrant hub where animal lovers can
learn more about cats, this is a perfect
place to go to enjoy a delightful selection of beverages, meet some new feline
friends, and walk away with a few heartwarming tales.
Every visit feels like an
affectionate hug,
creating a cozy and pleased atmosphere. This haven offers comfort and happiness
to all who enter.
In the face of the 2020 lockdown's unprecedented
challenges, BAST embarked on a mission to forge a sanctuary for abandoned cats.
Blossoming into a vibrant and warm café by March 2023, it defied the
financial constraints that often stifle self-funded projects. Drawing inspiration from
similar Far East initiatives, BAST showcases resilience and an unyielding
spirit, carving a unique path in a landscape where many falter.
Innovating for sustainability and compassionWhat distinguishes BAST is its innovative
approach to sustainability, integrating a café within its sanctuary. This café
stands as a beacon of kindness and responsibility, offering more than just a
delightful experience. It serves as a vital revenue stream, ingeniously
ensuring the initiative's longevity while championing the noble cause of
preventing domestic cat abandonment, a crisis deepened
during the lockdown.
BAST has fostered a self-sustaining cycle of
compassion and care, introducing a small entry fee of JD3 per person and
leveraging café revenues. This strategy not only nurtures a haven of joy and
warmth but also cultivates a community united in their affection for animals. It
is a place where café joy meets the noble cause of animal welfare, a testament
to the remarkable outcomes achievable through innovation, compassion, and a
sustainable approach to
animal welfare.
Home to 14 resident catsHome to 14 resident cats, BAST goes beyond being
a café. Responsible pet ownership and sterilization discussions thrive in this
haven of love and care.
Engaging the communityThrough various community-driven endeavors, BAST
strives to nurture both well-being and inclusivity.
From therapeutic cat yoga sessions to specially
designed activities for children with autism, the café leverages the healing
presence of cats to foster positivity and healing in the community.
With a steadfast commitment to the welfare of
the feline community, BAST harbors ambitious plans for the future. The
inauguration of an upper-floor veterinary clinic stands as a testimony to their
growing endeavor to enhance the well-being of their feline residents and the
community at large.
Not just a cat café, but Jadallah's dream come
true—a place of learning, collaboration, and joy where every visitor, whether
on two legs or four, discovers solace and happiness.
