Shrewsbury cat cafe, Paws Cafe, is closing its doors for good this June.

A statement from the company reads: “We started work on Paws Cafe seven years ago. We needed a better work/life balance for our family and to prioritise our mental health.

“We've been so grateful for your continued support, the love of our cats, and friendship over the years. Since Lady Grey has passed, the cafe just hasn't felt the same, I know the cats are feeling it too. We understand that this won't be an easy read, but we feel it's the best option.

“An opportunity in our contract has become available, and given the current climate and uncertainty of Cat Cafes in the UK, we feel that for our family, we have to take it. This isn't a decision we've made lightly, but it does mean that Paws will close on 1 June.

“Over the next 2 months, we are still open and would love to see you all. We also have a great sale on our online shop for your last-minute keepsakes. Anyone with vouchers, please book at pawscafe.co.uk

“Our cats won't be available for rehome, so please dont ask. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts K&J “
