Work can be stressful at times, and you need a way to unwind on a Friday evening. Some people grab a drink with friends, while others cuddle up with a furry friend.

Soon, you can do both at the same time.

Atlanta Brewing Co.Java Cats Cafe and Adventure Cats are hosting an evening of kittens, beer and lots of "pawsome purr-izes," called Mews and Brews.

The event isn't just a fundraiser for Furkids, Atlanta's largest no-kill rescue and animal shelter. It's also an adoption event, so you can find a new friend.
