While we were walking around and exploring Cherokee street (highly recommend!!) we saw the art on…read morethis building, noticed some cats in the windows and then realized it was an actual cat cafe!! I'd been wanting to check one of these out so we immediately went inside. The first room is where you can place and order for a drink from the cafe and check in for your visit. We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us without a wait. Entry was $5 per person which I felt like was a good value. There are two floors of nooks, seating and of course cats! The best interactions seemed to be the natural ones. We sat down at a table with a game of scrabble and had a couple of visitors come by. Overall happy we did it and really enjoyed our visit! This could be a place to come back to many times. Free street parking

Passed this cute cat cafe on an antiquing day and stopped in for some lemonade and some pets. All…read moreof the cats (the awake ones) were quite friendly and 100% of the cats were sweet! The facility is cute! A downstairs and an awesome upstairs with windows, a large table, chairs, and the cars who just want to get away from it all (downstairs is smaller and busier). I had a lemonade and only stayed 10-15 minutes. I'm glad this place isn't full of cushions like the other local cat cafe I have visited. I think that must help with the hair and likely the aroma too. It does smell like an animal shelter in the combination of animal + recently cleaned scents. This did not bother me. My experience was not what the first reviewer's were, nor would I mind much if it had. (No shade to Karen; she should share her opinion of the place.) Gentle reader, if the cats happen to not be "friendly" or "social," consider that they were recently rescued from the euthanasia lists at local shelters. Maybe they're not used to being in a building with so many people coming, going, and letting them all day... Or being in a room with multiple cats. Or maybe it's just what they are like. Not all cats are extroverted. They can still make great pets. They're purrfect to me! Will be back with friends!

This mission was created out of a passion for creating space where visitors can enjoy the pleasure and comfort that spending moments with cuddling and playing with felines who are needing this connection and a forever home. The challenges of the fire almost two years ago would have been enough for many less dedicated to take the easy way out and end their vision when the cats at that location were all adopted, but he listened to the urgent pleas from the community to rebuild. Tom has been the strongest voice to advocate for all downtown businesses and offered opportunities to collaborate with them by selling their goods. After last week's devastating destruction of the partner rescue, Animal Protective League, he immediately stepped up and took in more cats than his ideal capacity to care for, as well as offer to be a hub for collecting donations. This comes at a very high cost, financially, physically, and I am sure must be very emotionally taxing. I would hope that all animal loving members of our community step up to offer back support that TCP greatly needs at this time.

Even the bathroom was cute, with murals covering the walls. I ordered a caramel latte, my daughter got an Oreo frappe special, and my boyfriend accidentally ordered an Oreo latte thinking it was frozen. When he realized, the workers were super sweet and completely understanding. They remade it into the drink he wanted for only about $2 more, which I thought was beyond fair. While we waited, we checked out the adorable picture wall and took some selfies and all the little trinkets. I especially loved the tiny kitchen scene with baby Jesus and the cute strawberry house. They also sell personalized items, including some of the dopest air fresheners I've ever seen--definitely one-of-a-kind and perfect for gifts because you could easily find one to match somebody's personality. The character tumbler cups were really cute too, fairly priced, and even came with a straw cleaner. I'll definitely go out of my way to come back to Granite City and visit this coffee shop again!

I first met Lauren when I thought I wanted a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles spaniel & Poodle mix) …read more We went to see her puppies, but my husband thought a Cavapoo would shed too much. We had Cockers for years and really loved them. Talking to Laurel, we decided to order a Maltipoo (not even bred yet). She had such extensive knowledge about every breed she has that we both felt this was a better choice for us. She is so VERY careful with her breeding schedules that the pup would not be available for a few months. If she ran a puppy mill, she would have at least tried to talk us into a puppy she had available right then. Our puppy was born later so we went to see her and she was darllng! When she was old enough, we picked up the little bundle of white fur. She was perfect. Smart, affectionate...just what we wanted. She had been vet checked, given first shots, microchipped, etc. Laurel made sure I knew how to care for her, gave me a generous supply of food to last until I could get some for her. We never had any health problems because Laurel knows about all the possible problems and has the pups checked to know they are OK when they leave her home. We got along great until my precious baby was 4 1/2 years old. She got out into the dead-end lane in front of our house, was hit by a truck and my worst fear happened. She didn't suffer, but I did! I searched for rescue Maltipoos and Maltese, but people don't rehome Maltese often because they are so wonderful. I called Lauren (I was crying for Beatrice and so was Lauren) but she had 2 Maltese girls from her last litter. Again, the puppy was perfect and helped fill that hole in my heart. We also have 2 older rescue dogs and my new baby loved them. Sometimes too much. They would rather sleep than play sometimes, so now we have 2 darling litter-mate girls that are cousins to the baby I lost; they have the same grandmother Beatrice had. I even see some of her mannerisms in them. They entertain themselves and us with their antics and our older dogs get their sleep in. My sister also lost her dog to old age about the same time we lost Beatrice and ended up getting a Cavapoo from Lauren, too. She is perfect for my sister. Someone on this website made a comment that she thought Lauren had a puppy mill, but there must be more behind the story because nothing could be further from the truth. Lauren is very careful with her breeding program, retiring her breeding dogs when they reach an appropriate age, Her dogs have good food, recreation, love, room and a place to run and enjoy the outside, and are well cared-for. She always has dogs in her home with her. NOT ONE DOG is forced to spend their lives in tiny cages with little food or water and no recreation. I know this because I went to her farm to see for myself before I would get a dog from her. Anyone who thinks differently is sadly mistaken. I have fostered dogs for an animal rescue near me for several years and have seen dogs that come from those terrible places. I won't go into any details, but I have shed tears just seeing how hey have been so extremely mistreated. I have told many people about Dreamcatcher Hill and will continue to do so because I don't think anyone could be more concerned about their animals and the homes they are going to than Lauren at Dreamcatcher Hill. Sorry this is so long, but I had to let everyone know that though I'm not a close personal friend of Lauren's, I feel privileged to have found someone who cares so much about their puppies so I can have such smart, well-bred companions!

Traveling Tails Inn offers daycare, dog training, basic grooming (they no longer offer haircuts), and boarding for dogs. We regularly have JP attend day care or boarding when we are out of town.

Video cameras are live so that you can watch your pooch via an app. Our favorite part is that Traveling Tails Inn allows the dogs to form a pack in an open space during the day.
