Our Story
Founded by Ann Chasson and Mary Rubin, The Dancing Cat opened in May 2015 as a four-week pop-up cat adoption lounge. The overwhelming success led to a five-month operation, welcoming over 2000 guests and finding homes for over 50 cats. This success highlighted the need for a permanent cat adoption lounge in Silicon Valley. In May 2016, The Dancing Cat partnered with Silicon Valley Pet Project, and by September 2018, it became an independent rescue organization. Today, The Dancing Cat continues to provide a cage-free environment for adult cats, allowing them to thrive and find loving homes.
