Meet Aleks Talaro

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Aleks Talaro. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Aleks, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

Cats. I have loved cats since I was a child and even before I had one of my own. I visited multiple cat cafes prior to opening my own and absolutely loved the environment. I wanted to create another safe space for adoptable kitties and cat lovers.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

Purrfect Pause is a cat themed relaxation center, boutique, cafe, and cat sanctuary located in Boulder, CO. We are a unique environment to interact with adoptable cats from RezDawg Rescue!

Cat lovers of all kinds will enjoy Purrfect Pause! We have the ability to offer a cage free environments for our adoptable cats. Our unique environment allows a more intimate experience for individuals looking to meet and potentaly adopt cats. Since our cats are not locked in cages, visitors can get a better perspective of our cats personalities!

Perfect Pause Cat Cafe was founded by myself and my mom, Susanne Lury, in May 2022. As a life-long cat lover, I have always wanted to find a way to work with cats since they have been a constant source of joy, love, laughter, and support throughout the adversities his of life. I was inspired by cat cafes around the world and within this country. Growing up with my entrepreneurial mother, Susanne, I knew I wanted to run his own business. Now my mom and I combine our strengths to bring Boulder’s first cat cafe to life.

Purrfect Pause is about helping cats and people. Cats are the ultimate antidepressant, and here at Purrfect Pause we strive to create a unique, relaxing, and cozy environment for people to get some therapurry. The world is crazy and it’s easy to forget self care; so take a pause with paws, a Purrfect Pause.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

My many years of experience taking care of cats, the entrepreneurial spirit of my mom, and my desire to create a safe space for cats and people in a world that seems so out of control.

For anyone else interested in participating in a similar adventure, there are facebook groups full of resources.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?

My mom, Susanne Lury. She has far many more years of experience as an entrepreneur than I do so she has helped me learn all the background jobs needed to keep a business running. And of course her love and support throughout this whole process.
