Cassandra Snyder+FollowRichmond’s cat café flooded by playful kittenA mischievous 5-month-old kitten named Roller turned The Purrfect Bean in Richmond upside down—literally! After a wild play session, Roller managed to flood the café, causing major water damage and forcing the beloved spot to close for the rest of the year. The good news: all the cats are safe and cozy in foster homes, but the staff and community now face a tough recovery. Locals are rallying with fundraisers and GoFundMe to help get the café—and its adoptable kittens—back on their paws.
