We’re still purring with excitement after the sold-out Grand Opening Weekend of RubyCats, Toledo’s first-ever cat café! Huge thanks to everyone who joined us and made it an unforgettable experience.
From the moment we opened our doors on Thursday, January 9, the love and support from our community have been nothing short of incredible.
To kick off our opening day, we celebrated our very first adoption: Gulliver, a sweet feline who found his forever home. It’s moments like these that remind us why we started this journey.
Forget Me Not Cat Rescue

We want to dedicate this milestone to Forget Me Not Cat Rescue, our amazing partner who has helped bring our dream to life. Together, we’re committed to finding loving homes for as many cats as possible and creating a welcoming space where humans and felines can connect.
Media Love and Community Support
Toledo, you’ve amazed us with your enthusiasm and support! Our heartfelt thanks go out to WTOL, 13abc, and the Toledo Blade for their fantastic coverage of our opening. And a special shoutout to Downtown Toledo’s Facebook page for featuring one of our videos, which has already reached over 160,000 views! Your engagement means the world to us.
