Jodi Belongie is a holistic cat care advocate, registered veterinary technician, and founder of a six-figure cat café started with less than $50k and a dream. Now, she shares her journey through podcasting, education, and aligned entrepreneurship to help future founders create healing, profitable spaces rooted in rescue, love, and purpose. In 2022, she and her husband opened Chico Cat Café to celebrate their love for cats with their local cat-loving community. What started as a dream turned into a thriving space for connection, coffee, cuddles, and second chances. Through her work, she aims to reimagine the traditional shelter model – one that values rest, enrichment, community support, and sustainable care for cats and the humans that love them. Now, through this podcast and the resources she shares, she is helping other align their vision with action, and build cat cafes – and lives – that feel as good as they look.
