Tinker’s Cat Cafe probably isn’t thankful for the large tags that vandals painted on its colorful outdoor mural. Employees at the Salt Lake City cafe told FOX 13 that the graffiti appeared Thanksgiving night.

The cafe is the first of its kind in the city, and all the cats at Tinker’s Cat Cafe are up for adoption through Salt Lake County Animal Services.

“Tinker’s Cat Lounge is a cat playground full of scratching post items galore, and of course cozy seating areas to snuggle or play with cats,” the cafe wrote on its website. “If you happen to fall in love with a furry friend and would love to adopt them, you can!”

Anyone with information on the vandalism is asked to call the Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-3000.
