Purrington's Cat Lounge (sometimes Purringtons Cat Lounge or simply Purringtons) is a cat café located in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The establishment bills itself as "the first cat cafe and adoption center in the Pacific Northwest".
Description and history
Purrington's opened on January 24, 2015, at 3529 Northeast Martin Luther King Blvd., in the Boise neighborhood. More than 300 people attended its opening. The business is owned by Kristen and Sergio Castillo. Kristen was inspired to create Purringtons in October 2013, after seeing her friend share a video from Le Café des Chats in Paris. The business has partnered with the Sherwood-based rescue organization Cat Adoption Team (CAT) to facilitate cat adoptions.
The cafe was expected to close in November 2018. However, ownership transferred to Garrett Simpson and Helen Harris in January 2019. The reopening date has not been announced. After being closed for nine months and undergoing a renovation, Purrington's reopened in February 2020.
