Gato Cafe Shark Tank Pitch
Adriana wants to open the first Gato Cafe in Florida. She is looking to have rescue cats in the cafe that are available for adoption. She is going to charge $9 for people to enter into the Gato Cafe. They are going to sell Coffee and have the cats in the store allowing them to spend time with the cats.
She has five years experience in facilities that have rescue cats and a significant amount of the cats are put down. The Gato Cafe cats will not be put down. Nick Woodman points out that a lot of shows feature cats, and even the number one youtube video features a fireman saving a cat. Daymond John represents a cat on You Tube as well. His cat saved a little boy from getting mauled by a dog.
California is opening a three cat cafe's this year. Adriana claims that she has experience, with cats, but not the cafe.
