Sandra was a businesswoman in
Orlando. Approaching her 50th birthday, she decided to1 her love of cats and her work experience to
start the Orlando Cat Cafe.
As a lifelong cat fan, Sandra's
main goal in opening the cafe was to help 2 cats up for adoption with proper pet parents. What
she didn't 3at the time was that her café would help
human visitors as much as the cats!
"The most4thing
in the cafe is that they always have new cats and cats need socialization, so
both sides 5!" says Laurie, who is one6guest.
She, like many other cat lovers, who 7have
pets at home because of allergies (过敏反应) in the family, often comes to the cafe to experience the benefits
of 8with cute animals whenever she likes.
Plus, Sandra's cat-adoption 9aren't
the only charitable initiative (创举) happening at the cafe! The coffee and food10for
visitors are made by Axum Coffee, a company that was also started to11others.
Axum is a city in Ethiopia where fresh water is 12and
even poverty is widely visible. In fact, the coffee and food are sold at a low
price at the cafe, some of whose13go to the people of Axum,
Ethiopia, to help improve their14 of life.
"My cafe and Axum Coffee have
a(n)15 mission to reach out to others. We hit it off
and became partners, "says Sandra.
