San Marcos is following in Austin's footsteps in becoming home to a cat cafe. According to their Facebook page, the non-profit Cattery Lounge & Snackery is aiming to open at 235B N. LBJ Drive in May and will be a space where customers can interact with adoptable kittens and cats.

Because of state food safety standards, they will not be preparing food and beverages in-house, but hope to partner with local businesses to offer customers pre-packaged items for sale, a rep said.

The board of directors has begun a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the establishment. https://www.catterylounge.org
