If I could, I would give more than 5 stars! I called the day before Christmas eve to see more information on two of the cats there for my sister. As I wanted to get her a cat for Christmas. She had a tough year and a cat was all that she wanted. At first, I was a little put off by the girl who answered the phone. She didn't seem pleasant and called me "she" when in fact I am a grown man haha (I understand, she was probably irritated or had a bad day).
However, when I wanted more information about the cats, she passed my call along to Adrianne (I hope I got her name right!), things took a turn for the better. She was able to tell me some detailed info on the cats that helped me get an idea what cat is best for my sis.
I was a bit nervous about bringing my sister there as most experiences in the past there were loud and had lot of immature guests which in turn made it difficult to spend time with the cats, however Adrianne made it my best experience so far. She remembered our phone call and wanted the best cat for my sister.
There were a group of teenagers blocking the way to one of the cats my sister wanted to see and Adrianne carefully got the cat out from the corner to a spot where my sis could observe her. We only had 30 minutes to look and with the other guests it was hard to find the perfect cat. Adrianne was so kind to let us stay past a couple minutes so it could be quieter. After that my sister actually found a different cat catered to her liking named Angel Noelle. I work in guest experience at my business and I have to say that Adrianne is a superstar! One of your...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Smitten Kitten, a delightful cat cafe that seamlessly combines the joy of spending time with furry feline friends and savoring a cup of steaming coffee. Nestled in a cozy corner of the city, this establishment offers a unique and heartwarming experience that cat lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike will cherish.
Upon entering Smitten Kitten, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The soft purrs and playful antics of resident cats created a soothing ambiance, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cafe was thoughtfully designed with comfortable seating, large windows allowing natural light to stream in, and strategically placed cat-friendly furniture, ensuring that both humans and cats could coexist harmoniously.
The star attractions, of course, were the cats themselves. Smitten Kitten partners with a local animal shelter, providing a temporary home for adoptable cats. The diverse range of feline personalities added to the charm of the cafe, from the playful kittens that darted between tables to the more reserved older cats lounging on cozy cushions. The staff members, who clearly adored their four-legged charges, were attentive to both the needs of the cats and...
Read moreWe came here to meet and adopt a cat so we didn't actually try any food but we did have a lot of fun interacting with all the cats as they have lots of different personalities and it made me nostalgic for the cat cafe we visited in Tokyo, Japan.
Our cat, Mouse, is 8yo, he was lonely and needed a buddy. My husband really wanted a black cat, que in Uncle Si, he was older and black with pretty green eyes.
The staff were so helpful when we expressed interest in adopting him, they showed us his favorite place to hang, gave us some treats for him, and told us about his fave toys and activities. They also introduced us to some of the other older cats. We got to play with quite a few cats during our reserved time which was super fun!
Uncle Si seemed like a laid back retired street cat and sure enough, him and our other cat have become really good pals! We're so thankful for the cafe type setting to have gotten to meet him and see how he was with other cats. They were hosting him from Hamilton's Humane Society around the corner, we had him home in less than 2 hours!! No wonder they've adopted out more cats than days they've been open!
TLDR; We met and brought home the perfect cat for our household and he seems to love us as much...
