An adopted dog can be the best friend you've ever had. An adopted cat can be the better friend you've never known possible. Compared to other cat lounge services around Northern VA area, Catty Corner Café offers a more intimate interaction environment for you to find a possible best friend you've never had. The owner is a terrific host. And if cats ever become venture capitalists, I'm sure Catty Corner would earn multiple rounds of funding.
It is gratifying to see adult cats at Catty Corner with many rescued from kill shelters perhaps hours or days before the actual act. Some cat lounges typically host kittens which can be a dis-service to older adult cats. The much too common practice of adopting kittens for their cuteness only to be discarded as owners get tired or inconvenienced should be discouraged. Catty Corner hosting adult cats compared to other kitten-filled lounges should be applauded. Besides, adult cats have more personality than kittens.
Having shared my life with cats, Catty Corner feels like a second home. If there is any criticism I could assign, it's that I wish Catty Corner hosted bigger cats since all cats except for one were surprisingly small. There is just a lot more cat to hug for bigger cats. Certainly understand that this could be because of the space available.
If you've read this far in this review, then you'd know that your patronage to Catty Corner is highly encouraged if you're looking for a possible best...
   Read moreThe perfect place when you need to relax. I had been eyeing this place for a while and wanted to check it out, well finally enough was enough and I decided I needed some quiet cat therapy.
The atmosphere was phenomenal. The soft relaxing music they have quietly playing was really nice! The little pictures scattered throughout and overall aesthetic suited the place very nicely.
The cats were all SO nice too. A few of them were mad at each other but I found out that’s because they were brand new (like 20 mins before I arrived new) so they were adjusting. Even the new ones were REALLY friendly to humans. I didn’t have a single one hiss, growl, swat, or show any aggression whatsoever to me. Mind you I also wasn’t picking them up or getting in their face, but overall I think they’re all very chill cats.
The cats themselves also aren’t the “leave me alone” types. After sitting there observing for maybe 10 minutes I had most of the cats migrating to me to get at the least a headpat, and 2 even decided to jump on my lap!
Overall I think this place is an outstanding way to retreat and relax in the company of some very very sweet cats. The staff seem to be really...

WARNING: HAVE YOUR CATS CHECKED BY YOUR OWN VET! I just got back from my new vet and found out that she has 2 chips. I had taken Esmeralda to their vet (Paw Prints Animal hospital) right after I adopted her because she was sick and they say to take them to their vet and it would be free. So I did. Not only did we wait over an hour after her appointment for them to pick her up, we waited an hour after they brought her out to find out what they found. It was an extremely warm day out. The people bringing the animals in and out even told them a couple of times that we were still waiting. I had also asked if she was chipped. They said no, so I paid to have her chipped. So please, have your own vet check on your...
