Purrfect Mugs Cat Café

 

For my birthday this year a friend took me to a local cat café, Purrfect Mugs in Plains, PA.  For a surpise, she booked us time in the Cat Den.  Some cat cafes gave the felines mingling in the café, but at Purrfect Mugs they have their own separate room.

It was $10 a person for almost an hour playing with the cats of all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities.  My favorite was the adorably grumpy, big cat Klondike, though fluffy, sweet Foxy, Patsy Cline, and Linus were awesome. Honestly, they were all great cats, and aside from the resident cat Sterling, all of them are up for adoption. Note: the cats mentioned by name here may have already been adopted by the time you are reading this. 

Before going in to visit the cats, we both ordered iced cinnamon roll lattes and blueberry almond cookies. They were both delicious and I was pleasantly surprised that we were allowed to take our drinks into the cat den.  While they don’t serve sandwiches or what I consider to be meal items, they have a good variety of baked goods, which like the gift shop items are from local or independent merchants.  You find gifts for people such as, jewlry, stickers, coffee mugs and gifts for cats such as catnip, toys, dishes, even birthday hats.

          Even if you can’t book time to play with the cat, visit the café for some coffee and cat watching. They have windows looking into the cat den. The owner is extremely nice and I’m thrilled that she not just brought this area its first cat café but that she is finding good homes for cats.
