Black cat coffee | Application Preview
Black Cat Coffee is applying for government funding to launch a storefront that combines a coffee shop with a cat adoption center. The grant would be used to open the physical location and stock inventory for sale. The owner plans to create a unique, community-focused space that hosts events and offers the chance to adopt feline companions, setting it apart from traditional coffee spots.
Their experience in both coffee and customer service is positioned as a key strength, promising a high-quality, welcoming atmosphere. The business highlights local competition as limited—either lacking in atmosphere, coffee selection, or feeling too corporate—while pointing out that none offer a similar cat adoption experience.
Black Cat Coffee aims to stand out by not only offering great coffee but also by fostering a sense of community and warmth through interactions with adoptable cats, creating an environment people want to visit and support.

Self Identified Competition
Proving grounds is a local coffee shop but is not somewhere you want to spend an extended period of time in. Their sizes of coffee also are lacking. The bean tree is another coffee shop however they focus on breakfast and food items also they don’t have the best selection of coffees. Scooters is a fast drive through coffee spot but feels more corporate than home town. With a unique business model i strive to make every cup of coffee and every patron feel they’ve had the best experience. Also i will have cats for adoption. Not many of those around.
