Jun. 7—Self Expressions Cat Lounge and Rescue is out nearly $1,000 after a break-in overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.

The door to the lounge, located at 300B S. Belt Highway, was breached between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The cash register and three donation containers were stolen, amounting to about $1,000 lost, including the repairs needed for the door. No cats were harmed or stolen.
