Here’s What’s Planned This Week in Pahrump

No one will argue that Pahrump has many social spaces to wind down and relax, or wind up and let loose. Now we have a new, truly unique café within which to experience tenderness and silliness in furry doses. The Paw-Rump Cat Café is now open Thursdays through Sundays from 12:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. What is the Paw-Rump Cat Café, you ask? It is a calm, social space for rescued cats, enriched by interactions with volunteers and visitors. Think snuggling, and playing. Rescues are transitioned gently into the café as they adjust. Feline enthusiasts do not need an appointment to visit during café hours, but they will need $15 to enter. Proceeds go directly to support the rescued pets. There is a necessary limit of 10 people allowed in the Cat Café at a time. The location is at 520 East Street, Suite A. Their phone number is 725-231-5051 if you have questions. Learn more about this organization at PawRump.org. Complimentary snacks and drinks are provided – as if you and your cat-loving buddies need those in order to while away an hour or so each weekend having such fun, and supporting adorable rescues.

Check (pun intended) this out: the Chess Club at the Pahrump Community Library has branched into two divisions due to popular demand. The Adult Division meets on the first Wednesday of the month for all skill levels of adults aged 18 and up. The Youth Division Chess Club invites all skill levels aged 17 and younger to practice and play on the third Wednesday of the month. Both division meetings begin at 1 p.m. Come play chess, or learn how to play. Bring your own board if you have one. 701 East St. 775-727-5930.
