Costs force Sudbury cat cafe to lose felines to stay open

A self-confessed “crazy cat lady” who opened a cat cafe three years ago said rising costs had forced her decision to keep the coffee shop, but without the furry felines.

Shelley Smith opened Finnegan’s Whiskers in North Street in Sudbury, Suffolk, where for years visitors have been able to book to come in, enjoy a coffee and play with the resident cats.

However, Smith said she had to make the “heartbreaking” decision to rebrand – minus the cats – because “we’re not getting enough people through the door to make it financially viable, sadly”.

She said the current six resident cats had all been found homes with staff or regular customers.
