The singer stopped by [Catfé](http://www.catfe.ca/about/ "undefined") in Vancouver on Tuesday evening, according to the café’s Twitter account. She enjoyed playing with Larry, a grey cat at the store. The cafe was established to allow customers to have refreshments in the company of cats waiting for adoption. > [](https://twitter.com/catfe%5Fvancouver/status/755614485117743104) When Adele showed up at the café, barista Leona Morrison told the [Vancouver Sun](http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/adele-visits-vancouvers-catfe "undefined") she did not realize who the singer was and initially told her Catfé was full because there were already a number of other customers and a birthday party. “My co-worker was about to tell her that she looked like Adele, when she told us that she is Adele, and she asked if she could come in, if even for a few minutes. We said … OK,” Morrison told the Vancouver Sun. The cats seemed to appreciate the attention, and the birthday party of seven 12-year-old girls loved Adele’s visit. As for Larry the cat, it turns out he’s just as popular as Adele was in the café. He was adopted by a new family, the Vancouver Sun reported, and was expected to be picked up on Thursday. > [](https://twitter.com/catfe%5Fvancouver/status/755631772327698433) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4416868/adele-vancouver-cat-cafe/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4416868/adele-vancouver-cat-cafe/"},"headline":"Adele Makes Unwanted Cat a Local Celebrity in Visit to Vancouver Cat Cafe","datePublished":"2016-07-21T14:06:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:56:01.870Z","description":"The whole café was purring with excitement","url":"https://time.com/4416868/adele-vancouver-cat-cafe/","keywords":["Adele","cats"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e1d2719405e310f/69889d060a4a2218b99ca8dd/rtx2733l.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Abigail Abrams","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/abigail-abrams/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7e1d2719405e310f/69889d060a4a2218b99ca8dd/rtx2733l.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Adele arrives at the 58th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles","caption":"Adele arrives at the 58th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles","creditText":"© Danny Moloshok / Reuters—REUTERS","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/adele/","name":"Adele"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4416868/adele-vancouver-cat-cafe/","name":"Adele Makes Unwanted Cat a Local Celebrity in Visit to Vancouver Cat Cafe"}}]}] ```
