A popular cafe in Leeds has been forced to close due to a building collapse. The Kitty Cafe, in Kirkgate, has now warned that it may not be able to "withstand much more", after a string of difficulties.
Staff at the cafe announced on Facebook that it would be closed "until further notice", due to the floor of the old Debenhams building above collapsing into the cafe. They said that this has caused "huge amounts of damage", but reassured customers that - thankfully - all staff and cats are safe.
As damage is "severe" staff have warned that they may not be able to reopen, as the cafe has been hit by a flurry of difficulties - including supplier issues and cost of living expenses. The notice read: "Kitty Cafe Leeds is CLOSED until further notice.
