Whiskers & Wine Cat Lounge opened in the fall of 2023, when it was still waiting on its liquor license, but it had cats thanks to its partnership with Just Cats Rescue. And isn’t that the important part? Light snacks, “mocktails” and water are available or purchase in the shop, and cats are available for a “cat cuddle” and adoption in the adjoining cat room. There’s also free coffee available.
The café is also a gathering place, with events such as yoga, talks and a vendor market, art on the walls and even a pet food pantry. While it’s 18 and over most of the time, there’s also a monthly kids’ day.
You can buy monthly membership to stop in for a cuddle every day, and there’s even a college student rate for those missing the cats they had to leave back home.
