My 2025 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination

Samara from Linwood

I adore the Catnap cafe. Staff and cats give such a lovely environment. Bring such joy to adults and children alike. Even elders. A great business that holds fast to their values and reminds customers that we are in the cat territories and to respect their boundaries. Always brainstorming new ideas. Movies nights with popcorn while cats wrestle each other in the background. Downward cat yoga pose just don't squash the cat on your mat. Cute collectables and supporting other small businesses with their markets. Cats who didn't get the best start to life get a second chance. Even going through the photos I have of previous visits bring me such joy. Cheers Alyssa and Nate. Samara.
