Featuring organic artisan coffees and teas, locally crafted desserts, and adoptable cats, MeWow held a grand opening celebration this morning at 11 a.m. with dozens of patrons and supporters in attendance.

Since opening in August 2019, MeWow Cat Café—founded by Eilene Kramer and inspired by her daughter Karla—has partnered with several animal rescue organizations including:

The café donates all the space and supplies needed to care for the cats who reside in cozy “alleys.” Entrance fees for the Kitty Corral go directly toward supporting the care and comfort of the adoptable cats until they find loving homes. To date, more than 600 cats have been adopted thanks to the efforts of MeWow and its rescue partners.

In addition to its signature blend of great food, coffee, and cat companionship, the new MeWow Cat Café location includes a cuddle room available for licensed care professionals and their patients. Plans are also underway for private party and meeting space rentals, music nights, as well as specially themed events hosted throughout the year. They also intend to expand their menu with desserts and snack items sourced from local businesses.

“It’s been a wild ride since we opened MeWow Café, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” said owner Eilene Kramer. “I got my first cat when I was four years-old and I haven’t lived without one since. I knew the joy having animals around me has brought, so I was excited to bring that to Bucks County.” Kramer continued, “My hope was that others would love coffee and cats as much as I do, and the response has been more than I could have imagined. With our move to a new location, I invite everyone to make a reservation and visit our new and improved space. We can’t wait to meet you in purr-son!”

To help provide continuity of care for the cats during and after the move, donations are gratefully accepted via PayPal at: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/9UNZKX64EAK5J

After a long winter, many people are now looking ahead to spring break travel. Whether your plans have you headed to the beach or traveling abroad, GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists are available as a resource with pre-travel health consultations and over-the-counter product suggestions.

“The same way you may enlist the expertise of a travel agent when booking your vacation, your local GIANT or MARTIN’S pharmacist also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to ensuring you have the right vaccinations or health essentials ahead of your trip,” said Nick Koch, director of pharmacy and wellbeing, The GIANT Company. “From pre-health travel consultations to offering recommendations for the best sunscreens and first aid basics, don’t overlook the value that our team of pharmacists can bring to your vacation preparations.”

If your spring break plans have you traveling aboard, GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists can also get you adventure ready with a pre-travel health consultation approximately as soon as travel dates are confirmed and a minimum of one month before you leave. This includes vaccines, prescription referrals, and over-the-counter medications.

Vaccines^* include but are not limited to yellow fever vaccine (available at select locations), typhoid vaccine and cholera vaccine. Prescription referrals include malaria prevention, traveler’s diarrhea prevention and care, motion sickness prevention and altitude sickness prevention. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit https://giantfoodstores.com/pages/pharmacy-services.

GIANT and MARTIN’S pharmacists advise that any prescription medication should always be packed in one’s carry-on bag, never in checked luggage, and preferably in the original container with the prescription label affixed. Be sure to bring enough for your trip as well as extra should there be any travel delays.

Travelers are also encouraged to pack a small first aid kit for on-the-go use. This should include bandages of various sizes, gauze pads, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone cream, tweezers and a thermometer. Be sure to add over the counter pain relievers, antacids, decongestants, hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes, too. Additional items may be needed based on one’s destination and weather.
