From an email:
“Just in time for the holidays Rock&Roll Hotel is hosting a Pop-Up Cat Cafe to bring kitty cuteness, craft cocktails and cat lovers together for a fun evening to raise money for the Washington Humane Society.
The Pop-Up will occupy the 2nd floor utilizing the different rooms for cat reading, snuggling, educating and friendly mingling. The two VIP rooms will be the official cat quarters where the cats are the new VIPs with cat condos, toys and treats. Here guests will be able play with, cuddle, and enjoy some intimate time with free roaming adoptable cats brought in from from Kitty City at WHS’s New York Avenue adoption center.
The Piano Lounge at the Hotel will be converted into a cat reading room and will allow an opportunity to preview the carefully selected cat literature that will be for sale during the event. (Think: amazing holiday gifts..for a great cause!)
As a very special bonus the Pop-Up will be raffling off 2 TICKETS for the Winter Classic NHL game at Nationals Park on January 1st.
All merchandise and raffle profits will go directly to the WHS.
The WHS will be on site to talk to guests and help answer questions about options for adoptions and fostering of cats and kittens.”
There will be no cover charge for the event.”

From a press release:
“With a new streetcar service running along the bustling H Street corridor in Washington, DC, residents will soon be moving into 16 newly constructed condominium homes at 1115 H Street, NE. Wall Development is nearing completion of its five-story mixed-use development on the site of a former Woolworth store. Urban Pace, the city’s leading condominium sales and marketing firm, has begun taking reservations from prospective buyers.
1115H is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council. Its energy-efficient and environmentally friendly features will include a green roof, triple-glazed windows, wiring for potential electric car charging stations, covered bicycle storage, and a one-year “transit package” for new residents. Square 134 of Washington, DC is the project architect. (more…)
Thanks to a friend of mine, @chuckwestover, for sharing
“One DC woman, fed up with packages being stolen from her H Street Northeast front stoop, decided to place dog poop in a box – and then let the camera do the rest.”
The resident who filmed the video writes:
“I used to have stuff delivered all the time, but in the last two months three packages were stolen. Two were successfully delivered. I got the guy on video and he walks right to the spot and takes the box. I told the police, but they haven’t called back yet.”
Sadly video of this special delivery being opened is not available…
@PopUpCatCafe tweets us the image above:
“12/18/14 5-8pm POP UP CAT CAFE at RnR Hotel [1353 H Street, NE].”
Frozen Tropics adds a few more details:
“Eight cats. Play. Cuddle. Adopt.”
At the moment there is no mention of the event on Rock & Roll’s Facebook page or website. Though they did retweet Frozen Tropics so it seems legit.
Ed. Note: Last we heard the other Cat Cafe (Crumbs & Whiskers) hoping to come to DC was looking for a lawyer…
Thanks to Justin for sending – thumbs up or down?
