"Behind the vision is Kathreen Kato, who adopted Alex the Great, a San Francisco Flemish giant rabbit, with her fiance. Alex worked as a therapy bunny and was known as the San Francisco Giants' rally rabbit. He was also part of the Wag Brigade, a group of pets providing animal-assisted therapy to visitors at SFO, before he was diagnosed with cancer and died in July."
"The cafe will change shelter nonprofits regularly, and are so far partnering with three rescues. The rescue space will be separated from the cafe, which will be vegetarian and vegan, with grab-and-go options. Food and drinks are not allowed in the bunny lounge. There'll be items like Korean instant ramen, bunny merchandise and cruelty-free products, with a portion of profits going toward bunny rescue nonprofits, she says."
Kathreen Kato adopted Alex the Great, a Flemish giant rabbit who served as a therapy bunny, San Francisco Giants' rally rabbit and member of the Wag Brigade at SFO before dying in July. Kato is opening The Bunny Cafe in San Francisco, opening late November as an homage to Alex. The venue will pair a separated rescue adoption space with a vegetarian/vegan cafe offering grab-and-go items and cruelty-free merchandise, with part of profits donated to partnering rabbit rescues. Guests will reserve online, store belongings in lockers, and interact with rabbits that can be petted but not picked up. The ADA-compliant lounge will prohibit food and drink and offer discounts for first responders and free visits to children at Family House.
