Cat Cafe

I have set myself a challenge! I wanted a portfolio piece that would show a project process from start to (almost finish – it is a faux company after all!).

It would be lovely to be able to open a real cat cafe and for all of the ideas to be a reality. I have researched cat cafes in England and as far as I can tell, none of them seem to do everything that I have thought of in my case study to date…

The Idea:

To open a cat cafe. All cats are rescue cats from Cats Protection*.

The inspiration for the venture to take this idea direction is my own fur babies who were rescued by Cats Protection and I would like to help give other cats the chance to find their furever homes. See the idea behind the project…

So, who is going to this Cat Cafe?:

I created four personas of potential cat cafe visitors ranging in age, marital and employment status.

Then empathy maps for them.
