Carrollwood bistro presents unique initiative to find stray cats forever homes

The Feline Bistro Cat Lounge just opened in June in Carrollwood. The partnership between owner Kim Ruiz Lozada and Cecelia Nieves with Animal Lovers Dream Rescue is simple — Nieves brings in cats from the rescue, Ruiz Lozada then puts them into the lounge, and anyone who comes into the bistro can meet them and consider adopting. Ruiz Lozada said the bistro is tailored to more of an adult demographic. It has an elevated twist on a cat café and even has a special playlist for the felines. Both women say it's a great set-up, and is already working.
