I recently came here with my friend for a book club meeting (and to hang out with some cats!) I drove past this place so many times and never knew where it was located. The staff warmly greeted us when we arrived. We were able to hang out with the cats before and during the book club meeting. This cat rescue does a lot of cool events each month. I'll def be back for another event in the future! read more

Kitty Queen Cat Rescue is a no-kill nonprofit that helps homeless, unwanted, and special-needs cats to find loving homes. Recently, my husband and I visited their cat lounge in Ross Township. Reservations could be made online, but we were walk-ins. We each paid $5 to hang out with the cats for up to one hour. The lounge has several rules such as using hand sanitizer and not picking up the cats. The lounge houses a few dozen cats across a few rooms. Most cats freely roam around, but shy cats may hide in their cages. The cats ran around, climbed furniture, looked out windows, played with toys, and had access to dry food and water. They had access to some treats and small toys. The cats' descriptions are on papers on the walls. Most cats are healthy. A couple cats had the neurological disorder cerebellar hypoplasia, which was caused by their mother's panleukopenia virus or distemper and caused the cats to walk unsteadily, but even these cats were socially interactive. My husband and I thought that the staff members spoke very nicely to us and that most of the cats were very affectionate, allowing us to pet them and even climbing on us. We currently have three cats at home, so we are not looking to adopt another cat now, but we greatly enjoyed our time here. If you are interested in adopting a cat, I encourage you to visit the Kitty Queen Cat Rescue. The adoption fees range from $60 for one senior cat to $200 for two kittens. The website says that all cats are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, tested for FeLV and FIV, and microchipped. This nonprofit also has a retail store that sells merchandise such as t-shirts and home goods. I bought two cat plates that had low prices. Hot beverages such as coffees, teas, hot chocolates, and ciders are available for a donation. If you want to help in other ways, you may donate money or Christmas gifts or volunteer your time. read more

I took my niece here for a girls night and we had such a blast! So many cute kitties and I love the different rooms (Zen, Kitten, and Main Lounge). The staff was super helpful and friendly and the facility seemed really well kept which as a cat owner I know is difficult. read more

I adopted 1 cat and a kitten from this place in 2021, Yoda and Andromeda. First of all, I'd like to state that the people who worked here played down FIV. I've never heard of FIV and feline herpes until after I adopted my cats, but it actually can be a bit more serious than they led me to believe. They told me Yoda was an adult cat about 4 years old, and they never told me he was FIV positive (it was in the paperwork AFTER I adopted him). (Previously, they were referring to a cat called "Nubs" who was FIV+, and not the cat I adopted). When I took him to the vet, they stated he was AT LEAST 8 years old. He had to get all his teeth pulled and I spent over $1500 in vet bills within the first 6 months. They are also worried about kidney problems, and other issues BECAUSE OF HIS AGE AND THE FIV. Second, the kitten, Andromeda, was congested from the moment I picked her up from the rescue place. Later, I find out she has feline herpes. She constantly sneezes and blows snot and boogers all over my house. I can't have nice things, and am embarassed to have people over my house. There is nothing the vet can do for her. The fact that a cat rescue place doesn't inform you that a cat you are interested in is FIV positive, or the increased concern of these cats being vulnerable to contracting feline herpes (which is contagious among cats, so now my FIV+ cat also has feline herpes). I'm extremely disappointed.. Especially since the place charged me for an adult cat, instead of an elder cat...... I can tell you, I will never adopt from this place again. P.S. My sister also adopted a cat the same time. He is also FIV+ and the rescue place did NOT tell her. read more

We have two cats that we adopted as kittens at this wonderful cat rescue four years ago. The place is clean and fun for people as well as cats of all ages! All cats are well cared for, neutered, and chipped. There are special events from time to time to bring people in to meet and just play with cats, even if you don't buy any. It is also a very worthy charity to support. You can follow them on Facebook. I recommend Kitty Queen Cat Rescue all the time! read more
