Cups and Cats Cafe — Restaurant in Charleston

I am so excited that WV finally has a cat cafe. Cups and Cats Cafe has an adorable shop located in Charleston with all the drinks you would get at a coffee house. The cafe is next to the cat lounge with a huge window to see all the cats. So you could just grab a drink and watch the cats. I was bummed to see there were only 8 kitties out.
