Paws and Reflect 5 is just over a month away!
Help us celebrate our fifth year of existence by supporting our cause to give back to our rescues- Oswego County SPCA - OCAWL and Wayward Paws, Inc. ! We're hoping to have our biggest silent auction event yet this year with items and baskets from local businesses and crafters to bid on and be raffled off! Our vendor apps, donor and volunteer forms are LIVE to join in! You can find the forms here on our linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/pawsitiviteacny42, link-in-bio on instagram, or our website's Paws and Reflect page where we'll be adding vendors and donors as they come in!
If you got friends in business who might like to donate to our event, tag them here! We have also set up an event page that is pinned to the top of our facebook posts.
Does anyone have a cat (or pet) who's favorite spot is in the middle of your work? Share your pictures in the comments!

Happy everyone! As promised, its the August ! We got a handful of returning events and more info on our anniversary event Paws and Reflect 5!
Info on P&R5: Our vendor, volunteer and donor forms are OPEN! We have secured the old Mediterranean space that we used last year for the event, so we'll be happy to fill it up again! Over the last 4 years, we have raised almost $7k to assist our rescues with medical fees, spay and neuter, food and litter, and more as a thank you for all that they do for us through the year. We wouldn't be where we are today without them!
💜Vendors- we have limited space, we will email a confirmation and approval after reviewing your app.
💜Donors- You do not have to be a vendor to donate, you do not have to even be here for the event! Please don't forget to give us an estimated wholesale and retail value as this helps us determine starting bids.
💜Volunteers- a complete list is included in the form, but we would love to have a few people to help us procure auction items before the event! We'll also need several people to assist the day of the event to set up, check people in, register bidders, raffle people, and more. See the form for complete list!
Save the date- September 21st from 12-5p!
We're bringing back Roll-for-a-Latte, a drink decided by the fates! We're working on our other specials for the month this weekend.
We'll be at AnchorCon in Clayton on Saturday 8.16-8.17, so if youre in the Watertown area or looking for a day trip to a fun afternoon, come say hello!
We're bringing back another session of coffee painting on Sunday 8.10! We provide all the supplies, you come with the creativity! This is an advanced level painting session as coffee (and tea) works very much like watercolor, so patience and layering is needed.
Another art event will be the Paint your Pet! This is another loosely guided event that works like this: send us 2-3 photos of a pet you'd like to paint, we draw the outline, and you fill it in!
We're so excited for our five-year anniversary and hope you are too! See you soon!

Happy everyone! So, uh, its been a minute. We have over 6500 fb followers and just passed 4000 ig followers, we’re about to have our fifth anniversary, and im celebrating four decades of existing (read: turning 39 again- second midlife crisis pic 6) maybe its time to reintroduce myself.
My name is Alisha. I own and operate Pawsitivitea CNY Cafe & Cat Lounge. Im typically the face youll see 95% of the time you come to the cafe.
I recently jumped on the adhd bandwagon. Professional anxiety-haver. I try my best to be present and am in the wrong job having all these brain sparklies.
I have a small army of tropical chickens (10 parrots) and six cats (pics 2 and 4). My birbs are my children.
Im a workaholic, and am always moving/adding to my to-do list. Special shoutout to Sherman and Maurice (pics 11-12) our residents who passed away.
I have a bachelors in fine art and an associates in culinary art management.
Five years ago I jumped ship from three jobs (a bank, gameshop, and a restaurant), mid August was the end of my corporate career as I administered the finishing touches on opening my own business. I didnt know what to expect, and I still dont. Things are always changing and Im always finding better ways to do things.
I dream to live on a beach by the ocean. I am a child who lives by cartoons and anime. I love to do artsy-fartsy stuff. Good food is magical, especially desserts. Hugs not drugs (for real- to each their own, but please dont stink up my store after smoking). I like puns.
Thats prolly good for now. I never thought Id own a business and actually enjoy work. So whether you have or havent been to the cafe, thank you for your support. I feel so lucky to be where I am, to know good people, to have helped almost 500 cats find homes, and continue this thing called life, anxiety and all.
Ill try to be better about posts, tomorrow the august info will go up. Hope to see you all sometime!

About Us

Cat cafes are an up and coming service in the US. They originated in Japan where patrons will visit cats and enjoy a warm beverage to relax. Aside from a mini get away, we also work with local shelters to find forever homes for our resident cats! Being in a more open environment lets them be themselves so guests can interact with them in a “home” like environment.
