If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's…read morea registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that shelters about 10 cats at a time, and you can instantly feel the passion Cora, Uri, and the volunteers have for rescue work. They've created a space that is the true definition of "mi casa es tu casa"--the cats basically own the place, roaming around freely while they rehabilitate and wait for their forever homes. It's so heartwarming to see them in such a chill, loving environment. What I appreciated most, though, was the educational side of the experience. They really take the time to highlight FIV kittens--which is basically the cat equivalent to HIV--and explain how they can live totally normal, happy lives with just a few standard precautions. Cora even touched on the biases that exist, even among vets, so I loved that I left not only feeling fuzzy from cat cuddles but also a lot more informed. Whether you're looking to adopt a new best friend or just want to spend some quality time with some kitties, I highly, highly recommend checking this place out and supporting their mission! As for food, you can bring in anything you'd like and if you're there for their tail thumping thursdays, you can also order delivery to it. They cannot serve food due to local laws and guidelines. They do have packaged snacks and drinks you can purchase to enjoy. In addition, they have merch you can also purchase. All purchases, including tickets, help fund the nonprofit.

The cats were adorable. The room is much smaller than it seems in pictures. 10 people max are allowed in the room which I personally thought was too much. I think something more like 5 or 6 is more reasonable, but even then with a new group coming in every hour this may be a lot for the animals. I like this model for cats to live in temporarily and then get adopted into a regular home. I honestly feel bad for the resident cats and wonder if all these new people all the time overwhelms them. I wish there was another room only they could go to when they want to. I wouldn't mind this type of set up at all. Overall, I still enjoyed the experience I just hope the set up is in the best interest of the animals especially the residents that live there. Honestly, if I were to find another similar cafe with a lot more room for the cats (and people) and a setup where they could leave the room to relax I'd probably go there instead. I just wish the best for all the adorable cats here!

I've driven by Mad Cats And More a few times and finally decided to stop in this past weekend. A…read morefriend of mine recently adopted a kitten (from another spot), so we thought it'd be fun to check out their shop and see what goodies they had. The store is conveniently located on Tiogue Ave, with a small parking lot right by it. When we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a quick rundown of their services. First up: the cat lounge. You can hang out with the cats for $20 an hour or $10 for 30 minutes, which seems super reasonable. Unfortunately, I only had about 20 minutes before a lunch reservation, so I didn't get to spend time with the cats as I'd hoped. I did though get a peek at the lounge itself through a window in a little alcove area with a coffee maker, and wow--what an awesome space for the cats! The owner even went in to give out some treats, so we got a good look at Zeus, the most majestic white Maine Coon I've ever seen. The cats looked so happy and energetic, and the lounge had plenty of seating for anyone wanting to chill and connect with the adoptable cats--there were over 10 available! After that, we spent some time browsing their small shop, which had all sorts of fun stuff: collars, custom (and funny) t-shirts, travel mugs, catnip toys, survival bracelets, door mats, coasters, air fresheners, sanitizers, chapstick holders, keychains, cross-stitches, figurines, scratchers, and more! While it was definitely stocked with lots of cool items for pet owners, I was hoping to find more stuff for my own cat. Still, it was clear they have a great selection for both cat and dog lovers. All in all, it's a cute spot and seems like a fantastic place to find your next fur baby. They also keep their Facebook page updated with adoptable cats and their hours, so it's worth checking out if you're in the area and want some quality time with the feline crowd!

There are 2 resident Maine Coons who are there all the time - they are SO big and affectionate! There must have been about a dozen cats there when we went. $10 for an adult and $5 for a child to go in. Don't remember if that was for 30 mins or an hr, but it felt like plenty of time! The one staff member there was pleasant. I just love that we have a place we can go to if we have no other plans on a rainy day. You leave full of kitty love!
