Dakota Cat Cafe cats are up for adoption

LINCOLN, N.D. (KFYR) – Lincoln got its very own cat cafe last week.

Ashley Kneavel learned about cat cafes while visiting another state.

“I fell in love with the concept and wanted to bring something like that to North Dakota,” said Kneavel.

And so with the help of Furry Friends Rockin’ Rescue director Julie Schirado, she got to work.

“About a year ago, I think it was, we started building this together,” said Kneavel.

Furry Friends’ role in the operation? Providing the cats. All of them are pre-vetted, meaning they are spayed and neutered and fully vaccinated.

Meaning they’re also ready for adoption.

“Instead of them sitting at a shop, they get to sit in an atmosphere that’s closely resembled to a home,” said Kneavel.

The cafe has already had three of its four-legged residents adopted.

“It’s a great thing to see when somebody comes in and connects with them on a deep level and takes them home,” said Kneavel. “It’s just… I don’t even know how to describe it, it’s just very rewarding.”

One of her goals in the future is to install a drive-thru window.

(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Democrats rallied for a turnaround endorsing several candidates for statewide office to take on Republicans in November.

The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.

Democrats have 429 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in districts that don’t yet have anyone running.

“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
