If you are a cat lover (or just have a soul), Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody is a total must-visit. It's a 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. read more

Lovely spot to play with kitties and support a wonderful nonprofit. The owner Ori is so friendly and knowledgeable. All the cats are rescues that were in shelters longer than 2 months. The owner knows everything about each cat (ie. personalities, dietary needs) and you can tell each cat is treated like royalty. They have fun merchandise like shirts, candles, cookies and tote bags for purchase. They offer fun activities and events too. Great place to bring kids: coloring supplies, picture books and toys. Reservations required. Loved discovering this spot and we look forward to returning! read more

I wish I could rate this cafe a million out of ten. The rescue cats here are safe, loved, and so well taken care of. It's so heartwarming to see how confident and happy they are. They have absolutely everything they need and more. If anything they are spoiled rotten and they deserve it!! The owner is absolutely amazing. You can feel how much everyone there adores these cats. This cafe is all about them and it's the best experience for both the animals and people. Please support this wonderful non-profit so more lucky cats can come here and find their forever home read more

Great experience for my daughter and I. Well managed and the team here truly cares about the animals. Thank you!

Amazing place, friendly staff, playful kitties, and a great experience. I highly recommend.

My spouse and I had a wonderful time during our first visit, thanks to Uri, who made the experience absolutely perfect. The kitties were kind, loving, and absolutely purrfect. Food and drinks are available as well! The space is large enough for everyone to have fun with all the different cats. We will definitely be returning to spend more time with these delightful cats! read more

I mean, come on ... it is a cat cafe - what's not to love! I have been to others and they always seem a little sketchy, but this place is run very well and is very clean. They are very knowledgeable about their borders, and you can tell they love them but are not obsessive about them. They do have drinks and noshy things for you to buy and enjoy while being in the world of these kitties, but they also welcome you to bring in your own treats. read more

This place was so cute! I forget the woman's name that was helping out that day but she was very sweet. There were nice cookies too for sale. The cats were so cute. The only thing I didn't realize was that kids would be there. I think it's 8+ which is good, but when I went there were 2 girls both probably 8 years old that made me wish there were some reservations for adults only. Then I realized I was at a cat cafe which obviously would attract kids so maybe it's a me problem. Other than that everything was amazing!!! We got to feed the cats treats too it was such a great experience as I do not have a cat of my own so I had a lot of fun. read more

These four legged friends are so very well kept and loved until they are set to go to their forever after homes. I am working for several months on the island of Kona and had to leave "my sweet babies" at home. The Kitty Cat Cafe lets you come in, pet and play with their cats. I had soooooo much fun and will be doing it again today BTW - the Owner and her husband are absolutely FABULOUS read more

What a great new addition to the area in terms of a kitty cat café where you can get your cat fix as well as meet Wonderful cats for adoption. The owner, Uri, is one of the nicest people and you can tell he truly loves the cats and he and his wife have a really wonderful nonprofit business to support the local rescue shelters and help find cats their new homes. We had to travel all the way to San Diego to find a cat café and it is so nice to have one locally now as our daughter's favorite animal is a cat and we can't on one due to allergies my other family members. We will definitely be back to support and encourage others to do the same. read more

It's rare that you get to meet someone in life that is so passionate about what they do, and if you haven't met someone like that yet, then go to the Kitte Cat Cafe. You should also go because the cats are super cute but what makes the experience special is the people that own the business. My boyfriend and I went and were greeted my one of the owners, Uri. You can tell that he genuinely appreciates every person that comes through the door. Working with cats (especially cats that have been in a shelter) is all about respecting their boundaries and meeting them where they're at. You can tell that the owners have taken this mentality and applied it to their business. Uri was kind and engaged with everyone who wanted to chat. He was an incredible advocate and source of knowledge when it came to his vendors and their products (like the catnip kickers). It's important to support local businesses but this one in particular is one that should be supported a little extra. read more

Kitty Cat Cafe - Animal Shelters Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

This is an amazing cat cafe!! You can visit with up to 10 or so kitties who are available for adoption, in a super-friendly and comfortable environment. Guests who just love cats are welcomed even if not planning to adopt. It's a very spacious area filled with sofas, cat toys, kitty beds etc. and cats roam as they wish. The humans there are very friendly too! You can also purchase baked treats or beverages to bring in with you (or bring your own). The fee to attend the cafe goes to support the good work being done to provide these kitties with what they need. I've visited twice so far and plan to return. read more
