Kitty Town Coffee Partnership:
Supporting Local Cat Shelters

How Your Coffee Purchase Makes a Difference

Through our partnership with Kitty Town Coffee, every cup of coffee you enjoy or every bag of ground coffee you purchase, directly results in a donation to our local cat shelter. Last year alone, the support from Kitty Town Coffee customers led to the donation of over 1.2 million meals for cats in need.

More Than Just Cat Food: Flexible Support for Shelters

While the well-known slogan is "Drink Coffee, Feed Cats," Kitty Town Coffee's impact goes beyond simply providing cat food. The company makes donations directly to the general fund of local shelter partners. This approach allows shelters to allocate funds where they are needed most—whether that's spaying, neutering, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs, vaccinations, or providing shelter for feral cat populations.

Our Outdoor Feral Community

Kaye's Outdoor Kitty Cat Community

Stanardsville is home to a friendly cat community that thrives outdoors throughout the year. These always-outdoor cats are a familiar sight in the area and may occasionally venture into the parking lot of The Lafayette Inn, adding a unique charm to the local environment. Their presence highlights the importance of supporting and caring for both feral and community cats in Stanardsville.

A Well Cared For Colony

The roaming cat colony near The Lafayette Inn & Restaurant has now been a part of the community for over 10 years. During this time, the cats have found the extra care they receive so appealing that they seldom wander far from their adopted home. Kaye, who inherited responsibility for the colony, continues to self-fund and tend to these feral felines. She ensures that each cat receives top-notch veterinary care, stays up-to-date on vaccinations, and is spayed or neutered. Kaye feeds any four-legged friend twice a day, regardless of whether they made a reservation! Thanks to her dedication, the cats around The Lafayette Inn never have to worry about where they'll sleep at night, with trees, surrounding grass, and outdoor Kitty condos providing plenty of safe and warm shelter.

Community Support and Population Control

Kaye's ongoing commitment to helping curb the cat population in town was recently demonstrated when she helped round up 57 cats for a Spay & Neuter Clinic at the Greene County ASPCA. With nearly all of The Lafayette Inn Cats already "fixed," Kaye was able to assist town leaders with this successful event and focus her efforts on helping other local cats.

Outdoor Living at Its Best

While guests are invited to enjoy their stay or meal at The Lafayette Inn, cats are never invited inside. After all, with the best setup any outdoor feral cat could wish for, they have everything they need right where they are.
