Bajah's Cat Café in Rhode Island shut down after an unlicensed rescue operation led to the removal of over 20 cats.

Bajah's Cat Café in Tiverton, Rhode Island, was shut down after a visit from the RISPCA and other agencies found the owner operating without the necessary licenses for an independent rescue. Over 20 cats were removed; 18 were surrendered to RISPCA, and three were immediately adopted. The cats are being tested for diseases. The owner plans to pursue the required permits to reopen as a rescue facility. No animal cruelty charges are expected, but regulatory fines may be imposed.
