The Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty Cafe is Disneyland for humans who love the little felines.
Kitty lays in their cat tower on opening day at Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty on May 5, 2024 in San Jose, Calif.

For Melo, it’s an urgent mission. Melo hopes that the cafe will help save lives by raising additional funds to support rescues. This cafe, located at 14420 Union Ave. in San Jose, is open on weekends from 12 to 6 p.m., accepting walk-ins and room reservations, $10 for children ages 5–11 and $15 for those older than 12 years old.
Unlike other rescue organizations, IBOK focuses on caring for and finding homes for pairs of abandoned kittens. Since opening day, the cafe has been completely sold out resulting in nine pairs being adopted. “It’s been an incredible three weeks. Our guests are happy and really enjoying the experience,” Melo said.
