The organization says it aims to double cat adoptions through the expanded operation.</p> <p>The north location is designed to house between 35 and 40 cats in the lounge at a time, according to <a href="https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts-culture/phx-cat-cafe-opening-north-phoenix-location-40654934/">Phoenix New Times</a>, which cited cafe operator Schwartz. The downtown location on Roosevelt Row typically holds 25 to 30 cats.</p> <p>The original cafe is located at 147 E. Garfield St. in downtown Phoenix, per the organization's website.
