I was there a couple days ago and I loved the food and drinks- it was just me and friend in there and nick helped us out. He was the nicest person and made great conversation- and was really helpful! We loved spending time with the cats and there were a lot of new faces which was nice to see. 10/10 recommend, great prices, great service, and adorable cats my favorite cat wanted to pose for some pictures, very photogenic fur ball. read more

I've wanted to visit a cat café for some time now, and I finally got to recently. Kitty Korner is the first cat café in Vermont. The decorations and menu titles cracked me up, seen in my photos. The cats are in their own area, and every 30 minutes they let in up to six people to visit with them for $5 each. I had a great time bonding with the feline friends, and even got through to the prickly one aptly named Azog (The Defiler). These cats were mostly domestic short hairs, usually very sweet and gentle, especially the dark colored ones. It's a large space they get with shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling, and I'd say almost half of the cats were sleeping. It's a large area for them to roam around and they seemed very content, also all up for adoption! It was a fun experience, and the latte I got was very nice too. read more

The kitties are always fun and sweet. Adoption process is irritating though. I've tried 3-4 times with applications and not once ever received a call back letting me know if it's good or in there's a problem with my application read more

kitty korner cafe - Pet Adoption Near Me - Barre, Vermont

I've been wanting to come here since I heard they were open. As the first cat cafe in Vermont, it's a great place for folks to go who want to get some kitty time, but can't get a cat of their own or who want to adopt one (or more) of the beautiful kitties here up for adoption. As a cat mom who has worked in rescue with two of her own fabulous felines, I love cat cafes. My mom and I went in to get a couple of chai and see the kitties. We ordered two of their 10oz chai lattes and then sat nearby to see the cats. They have a separate view of cats for those who like them from afar and are potentially allergic. It's $5/hour per person to see the cats and you can bring your drinks with you. Due to COVID restrictions, they're limiting the amount of guests in the cat area at a time, which makes perfect sense. You can sit in the regular cozy cafe at a bar table by the street windows or at larger tables by the wind onto the cat room. The cat room is a large room with many couches and lounge chairs, plus cat trees and toys for the kitties. The cats will either come to you or you can sit by them. They are quite friendly from what we could see (we were running errands and would not have time to wait for a new session time). The cafe has numerous aptly named hot and cold beverages plus pastries from the famous Red Hen Bakery in Middlesex. There are gluten free as well as traditionally baked items. We ordered a maple frosted gluten free cookie. It was soft and you could not tell it was GF (always a bonus). The chai were delicious, but they were not 10oz. Neither of us had more than 4oz in our cups. They weren't even half full of liquid. Initially, I thought it was just me, but when I asked her, she said the same. I contemplated bringing them back to the counter, but we didn't have a lot of time and so I brought my drink container home to verify that it was a 10oz cup and not a larger cup that was only partially filled. Sure enough, the liquid measuring cup proved it holds a perfect 10ounces. It's to bad that's not what we were served. They weren't expensive drinks, but it was extremely disappointing to not receive a full beverage that we paid for. Had they been running out of chai, they could have told us and we would have ordered different drinks. The cookie and view of the cats was great. The drink issue needs to be fixed. read more

This is my ho to place to relax and pet the cats! I love cats but currently am not able to own any because of my dwelling restrictions. This is a clean place that has cats separated from the Cafe. The rules are simple... pay $5 to meet them for 30 minutes, be nice to the cats, and don't pick them up. The meetings take place with up to 10 people at a time and take place every half hour.. They may crawl into your lap, but its based on your comfort level. There may be upto 20 cats at a time but some are hiding in their secret places behind the wall. The staff are very knowledgeable, and do a great job of assisting with the adoptions, and the day I went, someone donated a cat wheel! This place is the only cat Cafe in VT, and it's an awesome place to destress and chill!! read more

We walked In off the street. The coffee was good. The customer service was horrible. The cafe has a cat "lounge" where you pay $5 per person for 30 minutes to pet cats that are either house cats or up for adoption. The woman behind the counter explained that we arrived 5 minutes after the current session started, so we could either wait 25 minutes for the next session or pay the full amount for 25 minutes instead of 30 minutes. We decided to do the 25 minutes. The woman then had us wait while she waited on two customers, one of which showed her pictures of her cats on her phone. When it was finally our turn to pay, we were left with 20 minutes in the current session. I asked if she could prorate the price, since there was 4 of us paying $5 each. No, she said -- if we wanted the full 30 minutes to pet the cats we would have to wait 20 minutes for the next session. No compromise. No trying to do right by the customer. The woman rudely let time tick off the clock knowing we would be getting less than what we paid for. Since we had already promised the kids that they'd get to pet the cats, I sat out. Seems like they treat their cats better than their customers. Shame. read more

Stopped by the Kitty Korner Cafe on a whim on a road trip to get some caffeine. The latte I ordered was good and it was cutely named after cats. I wish they had a reusable option (like a mug) so that I did not need a to go cup. Went to visit the kitties ($5/person) for 30 minutes. We were given slippers to switch into while visiting. The cats were cute and appreciated the stories about each of the cats around the place. read more

Recently two newborn kittens were brought to her shop. Days later she was informed the mother of those kittens had died from medical issues and is currently being tested for rabies. She flat out refused to acknowledge this was the mother of those kittens, when in fact they were found within 15 feet of each other just on different days. Not only is she putting herself and anyone who handled those kittens in danger but also not informing the foster family. If you're going to run a business that includes animals, you need to be a responsible adult and protect everyone. read more

I love everything about this place. I adopted my cat from here, and I've been in and out of the cafe a lot throughout the process. The food and drinks are great, the employees are kind and friendly, and the cats are clearly well taken care of. In the process of adopting my cat, everyone was so helpful- they all had anecdotes of their time with her, and many had pictures and videos with her. They made sure we were the perfect match- and she could not be a more perfect cat for me. Definitely check this place out- even if you aren't going to adopt, socialization is great for the cats, and it's not too expensive. Makes a great date or outing. (I've included some pictures of my very perfect cat, Maple fka Nikki ) read more

I was a little disappointed with the cafe. I understand it might be hard to mask the kitty litter scent, but having the boxes in the same room was tough. The ammonia smell was persistent. I've been in cat cafes where there was a separate room with the litter boxes that had a cat door where the cats can go in and out. Also, all the kittens seemed to have a respiratory issues.. wet, leaky eyes and a lot of sneezing. I ended up feeling bad for the cats. I felt they kept too many cats for one space and they couldn't properly manage their respiratory health.. i imagine the ammonia wasn't great for them either. I do wish the cafe success and I hope they find a better way to keep the space clean and healthy. read more

i am not a resident of Vermont and am originally from NYC but we came to this cafe because me and my girlfriend both love cats. we were not disappointed ! the cafe area and cat area are split up nicely so that each space is very clean. the staff was really welcoming and nicely explained the protocols of dealing with the cats. 30 minutes of kitty time is $5, and all proceeds go to the care of the cats. the space is pretty well kept and there are plenty of ledges for the cats to hangout and sleep on. if you're looking for a quiet place to de-stress with a pretty decent tea or coffee drink; or even adopt a cat, this place is awesome for just that ! they also have dairy free milk options as well. read more

Great treats and hot and cold drinks. It is incredible what they have done for our community. We are so lucky they opened this business in our city. The cats are so well cared for. I have a friend who adopted a cat and he sent it was a great process. Love this place! read more

If you are interesting in adopting a cat, I would not recommend this experience. Staff are not honest about what cats they have available even if you call ahead. Staff are not helpful and are not present in the cat room to answer questions about the cats or about the adoption process. Even though I called ahead and asked to see kittens, when I got there I was told kittens were in a back room that I could not see or visit then during that appointment; if I wanted to see them I had to make another appointment during the week when the staff had time to show me the back "kitten" room. I wish I had been told this when I called ahead and asked and made my appointment by phone. To make an appointment ahead by phone costs an additional $2 more than showing up for a walk in. read more

I made a Yelp account just to review this cafe. We drove out 50 minutes from Burlington, so we definitely had high expectations for a rainy day in a cat cafe. Not only were those expectations met, but they went far above and beyond we could've ever pictured. First of all, the cafe itself is adorable. It's decorated so cozily and all of the little Knick knacks they sell (such as stickers!!!) were so adorable and nice touch. There's also a small chalk board that tells how many cats they've adopted out, which was such a welcomed addition. Secondly, the staff were INCREDIBLE! We stepped in a little confused but felt immediately welcomed and comfortable by the incredible and kind staff. Thirdly, the drinks and pastries were ACTUALLY so delicious. I didn't have very high expectations because I expected the experience to center around the cats first and the cafe second, but the drinks and pastries we all got we all enjoyed so so much. I had a delicious lavender honey latte and a chocolate chip muffin, and it was such a pleasant drink and snack and so reasonably priced! The spotlight though had to be on the cats. I completely expected maybe a few adult cats in a comfy room, but the cat space was expansive and filled with adorable kittens and sweet adult cats alike. The 30 minutes we paid for went by in what felt like minutes, and I've never received that much serotonin in my life. I cannot express how much I would recommend a trip here to anyone and everyone. If I lived closer, I no doubt would frequent there several times a week. It's a must-see if you happen to be in the area, or even if it's a commute it's completely worth it and brought so much sunshine to our rainy day! read more
