A DATE has now been confirmed for the opening of North Ayrshire's first-ever cat cafe.
Plans were first launched to create the venue in Beith at the beginning of February before North Ayrshire Council gave proposals the green light last month.
Toe Beanz is now set to open on the town's Main Street, at the former Masonic Jazz bar, on Monday, April 7.
The venue will become just the second of its kind in Ayrshire following the opening of the Kitty Cat Cafe in Ayr at the end of 2024.
Operated by local woman Kirsty Harris, the venue will feature a number of lovable rescue cats.
Finishing touches are currently being added to the business' website, with bookings set to open up in the very near future.
House rules will be made available online with those planning a visit advised to take note before booking.
