A bright yellow plaque that reads, Bungalow No. 68 along with the cartoon of a black cat peeping at us with large eyes, welcomes us to the Cat Café Studio at Versova. As the door opens, a handsome brown pup with infectious energy is all over us. When we look around, a tiny grey cat catches our attention as he wrestles with his identical sibling, while another white and ginger coloured feline sleeps in a basket, oblivious to the world around. One kitten even hisses at JJ, the only canine among the 15 odd cats for coming close to his food bowl. And almost equal to the cat population is the employee strength at the studio, which in fact, is a film production house that doubles up as an animal shelter, an adoption centre and a place where one can go spend time with the cats, without having to pay a penny.
