Combining some of the world’s favorite things, cats and coffee, is a surefire way to bring in the best people from around the region.
Cat cafes are great for numerous reasons, namely because you get to enjoy the company of furry felines while sipping on a tasty drink. What most might know is that cat cafes, or the art of petting cats, have been proven to be stress relievers. After visiting, many people experience a reduction in feeling stressed. The solution is, obviously, to take home one of the cafe’s adoptable residents.
Here are some cat cafes in Chester County and in the region if you’re looking to take a drive.
The Black Cat Cafe — Devon. While cats are the star of the show in Devon, the Black Cat Cafe has an extensive menu featuring favorites like the pancake board, the Garfield Sampler, soups, sandwiches, and more. As a nonprofit owned and operated by PALS, all proceeds go towards taking care of injured, sick, or abandoned kitties.
Treetops Kitty Cafe — Kennett Square. Founded in 2016, Treetops rescues cats on their way to overcrowded shelters. Their mission is to ensure every cat gets the second or third chance they deserve at a loving home. They successfully adopted out over 1,500 animals in their time as a rescue. Reservations are encouraged, and every entry includes a free hot beverage with cold drinks available.
Craig’s Cat Cafe — Spring City. Melt your stress away at Craig’s Cat Cafe, housing some of the sweetest felines around. Don’t forget to check out their bakery options and try their monthly drink flavor: Pawsome Pumpkin, an iced latte with pumpkin-flavored themes. You can also email a photo of your cat, and they will put it on a button for $2.
Le Cat Cafe — Brewerytown. In Philadelphia, if you fancy a short drive, there are a couple more options for cat cafes. With a French-esque concept, Le Cat Cafe runs a professional ship, ensuring all kitties are well-taken care of and all humans follow the rules. It’s supported by a network of volunteers through Green Street Rescue, which focuses on rescuing stray cats and practicing Trap, Neuter, Return, Manage.
Get A Gato — Queen Village. Also in the city, woman-owned Get A Gato’s mission is to find homes for as many cats as possible. With delicious Latin-inspired food and drinks, this is the perfect stop to pet a gato and fill up on empanadas. Plus, its logo represents the owner’s childhood cat, Oreo.
What will you take home, just a drink or your next best friend?
