Las Vegas welcomed Rescued Treasures – currently Nevada’s only cat cafe – as they opened their doors Tuesday. (Mat Luschek / Review-Journal)
Las Vegas on Tuesday welcomed the opening of Rescued Treasures cat cafe in the northwest valley.
The cafe, which organizers say is the first of its kind in Nevada, is a collaboration of more than 60 local animal coalitions.
Rescued Treasures’ goal is to help the cats get adopted by providing a more inviting space for people to visit with the animals.
Guests can sit and interact with the felines while enjoying some food and drinks. Visiting the cafe costs $10 an hour, except during special events and cat yoga nights, which are $30 to attend.
Rescued Treasures Cat Cafe is located at 4155 N. Rancho Drive, #150.
