The AUsome Cat Cafe brings rescue cats and neurodiversity together, helping to find meaningful employment for adults on the autism spectrum and loving homes for rescue cats.
Ausome Cat Cafe aims to empower individuals on the autism spectrum through meaningful career preparation while providing a compassionate sanctuary that prepares rescue cats for their forever homes.
Rescue cats:
Donations for medical care, food, litter, cat beds, and general upkeep (nail clippers, shampoo, flea prevention, etc.)
Job training:
Donations for scholarships for individuals undergoing job training
At Ausome Cat Cafe, we believe that every individual deserves a meaningful pathway to employment, and that true community includes every kind of mind. Traditional workplaces often overlook the immense talents of neurodivergent individuals due to systematic barriers, rigid hiring processes, and sensory-unfriendly environments. We are committed to dismantling these barriers. By pairing the therapeutic comfort of cats with a supportive, sensory-aware training ground, we foster an equitable environment where individuals on the autism spectrum gain real-world job skills. Equity to us means providing tailored accommodations, honoring unique communication styles, and championing the value of neurodiversity in the local workforce. We pledge to treat our trainees, staff, and community with radical acceptance, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to thrive.
