Our Team
Therese
Therese was born and raised in SoCal, then moved to New Jersey for college. After grad school, she moved to Roanoke with her 4 bunnies and 2 guinea pigs. Therese works full time at Emergency Veterinary and Specialty Services and is working on getting her LVT license. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, crocheting, making clothes, and playing video games. She loves outdoor activities and is taking advantage of all the trails here in Roanoke. There is a special place in her heart for senior animals and she enjoys fostering them until they find their forever homes, where they can live out their golden years to the fullest!
Christina
Christina’s love of animals was nurtured as a small child by her mom, who routinely put on nature TV shows and VHSes, such as Growing Up Wild, The Kratt Brothers, Zaboomafo, and The Crocodile Hunter. She didn’t know she was a cat lover until she and her mom met and adopted their first cat, Tangelo. From day one, she was smitten with kitties of all shapes, sizes, and colors! Today, Christina and her husband have rescued five cats in the span of four years: Finnich, Freya, Skye, Mochi, and Ember. Christina is ecstatic to work for The Toebean Cat Café, because the happiness, health, and well-being of The Toebean Kitties are of utmost importance to Stephanie!
Gabe
Meet Gabe – our “coffee nerd” barista, lifelong Roanoke local, and proud cat dad to Freya, Tater, Loktar, and Boo! When he's not crafting the perfect brew at The Toebean Cat Café, Gabe dreams of opening his own café, and enjoys stand-up comedy, cosplaying, gaming, and unwinding with his favorite TV shows. He loves nature and animals and is a super chill guy, so come by and say “hi” sometime!
Marcie
The above photo fully depicts a human being named Marcie. She is not AI. Marcie is a person who works at The Toebean Cat Cafe. She likes long walks on the beach, drinking pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain. She’s not really into yoga, and she has 100% an entire brain. She likes Mama Jean’s BBQ and being weird. She also loves her dog, Cowboy, and possibly a few additional people. If you like dark humor, she’s your girl.
