That's a wrap on our annual series celebrating the women behind the businesses that make our community so special! We hope you've enjoyed getting to know 31 incredible women making their mark in Bucks County & beyond during National Women in Business Month. We're grateful to have such an inspiring community of women to celebrate & can't wait to do it all again next year!
🌟 Cats, coffee & desserts? For Eilene Kramer, that sounded like a pretty perfect combination. As she approached retirement from a career in education, her daughter casually suggested she open a cat café. Eilene had never even heard of one, but the idea stuck. Two years later, she opened Doylestown’s MeWow Cat Cafe, discovering just how much the community wanted a place to enjoy a treat while spending time with cats. Her opening weekend brought more than 300 visitors, so many that police had to help manage the crowds!
🌟 Just five months after opening, Eilene faced another unexpected challenge when COVID forced the café to close. With support from understanding landlords, she made it through the shutdown & eventually reopened with safety protocols in place. That’s when she saw just how much the cats meant to people. Visitors would come simply to hold a cat & enjoy a little comfort & connection during an uncertain time. Eilene also learned that caring for animals comes with emotional challenges of its own, especially when a cat gets sick & requires extra care while still maintaining the business.
🌟 Between caring for her feline residents & spending time with a big family that includes grandchildren, Eilene says life is “utterly crazy & blessed.” There isn’t much downtime when live animals depend on you, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She remains passionate about creating a welcoming experience for every customer & helping her cats find loving forever homes. MeWow’s motto captures the feeling she hopes everyone takes with them: “Come happy, leave happier.”
