    the front door of the restaurant

    The Pawsitive Cafe is a cat cafe which houses many adoptable cats from six local rescue groups. Three resident cats live there as well and aren't up for adoption. The space is brightly colored, calm, and welcoming. They serve coffee, tea, and sweets from Red Fern. The cats are definitely well cared for. There are televisions playing nature shows, lots of cat trees, beds, and toys everywhere. Cafe staff are firm but gentle with patrons about not playing with or picking up cats who aren't in the mood. The cats have spaces away from guests to use litterboxes and to go for some quiet time if they're sleepy or overstimulated. This is a fun place to destress for a bit and pet some fluffy animals. And maybe adopt if you're looking for a pet! They have found homes for 66 cats since opening a year ago. My one issue with Pawsitive Cafe is that it isn't accessible. I have a sprained ankle and I had to climb steep stairs to get in. If they do have an accessible entrance, it wasn't obvious.

    What: cat cafe. This was our first cat cafe. Price: 30 minutes for $6.47 per person or you can book more time. Book your admission on their website. Ambiance: when you walk in, the entrance area has the cafe where you check in and can buy coffee, tea and vegan baked treats. You then walk into a small room to remove your coat and shoes. Then you carefully enter the next main room so that you don't let any cats out. There's are also two small rooms for the cats to do their business and eat/be alone. There were several cats (about 14?) and comfy seats and lots of lounge and climbing areas for the cats. There's also lots of cat toys. The cats are available for adoption! We enjoyed the experience. Tip: follow the posted rules!

    Love cats, kittens, good coffee, and treats? This place has them in abundance. There's a cafe in front with seating, tasty vegan goodies from Red Fern, and a huge cat play area in the back. The atmosphere is spacious yet cozy, with plenty of soft couches and colorful decor. For the kitties there are toys, beds, and lots of perches. It's a haven for anyone who wants to play with kittens & cats without having to clean a litterbox. Yes, it's heaven on earth. My son had his 8th Birthday party here today. It was our second time here and the owners were extremely helpful, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. We kept the party small (5 people) in the interest of the kitties comfort. They let us use the cafe space and were SUPER attentive to our needs. We opened the presents in the cat area and the kitties definitely approved of the empty bags. I can't wait to go back again!

    This is one of the permanent cats - Onyx.

    My sister and I had a ton of fun at the Friendly Feline Cat Cafe at one of their craft nights. We…read moregot there a bit early and I got a vanilla latte ($4) while we waited for the class to start. The cafe is a small storefront at Latta/Long Pond in Greece next to Ricci's Restaurant. Besides coffee and snacks, there are other things for sale like stickers, mugs, cards, and jewelry. We did the pumpkin painting event and paid $12 which included 2 mini pumpkins, painting supplies, and time in the cat room. The cats get along amazingly well for how many are in there together (maybe 10?). There may be some hisses or swats between cats, but as a cat owner I'll tell you that is completely normal. We pet them in between our pumpkins drying. The cats come from two different rescue groups and all are up for adoption except for Michael, who is the owner's cat. This is a great place for animal lovers to support local rescues and play with cats.

If you've ever been to a cat cafe, the experience is universal: book your appointment in advance, arrive on time, and go in when you're told to. The Friendly Feline is new and as such, it was easy to book an appointment. Walk ins are possible, but I'd recommend an appointment just to make your life easier. My mom and I got there a few minutes early to check in, and once it was our time, we were given a timer that indicated where we were in our hour. Then we went inside! There were five cats in residence that day, and there is a list of guidelines on the wall (basically, don't piss off the cats and use common sense). We sat down with a few toys and a laser pointer and waited for the cats to come to us. Overall, the cats were friendly but happy to let you know when they were over it and ready to walk away. The hour floated by and in that time, we were visited by all of the cats, with one even hopping up on the couch. There were three of the five that I felt were extra friendly and those cats circled around for extra attention. We had a great time at the Friendly Feline and I'd absolutely go back, even though Greece isn't exactly next door. It's never a bad thing to have more cat cafes and that means more cats find their forever homes sooner than they might have without cafe patrons having a good time.

    We decided to try out a new to us restaurant for lunch today. The Old Farm Cafe piqued our…read moreinterest. My sister placed our orders at the counter & we chose a table near the wall. The woman taking the order did not tell us how the system works - leaving us puzzling as we sat at the table. My sister went up after we waited awhile, & asked. It appears some items were ready & she was going to bring it to us after everything was ready. The food: I ordered the 3 pc chicken tenders with honey mustard dipping sauce & the "loaded" ( ) tater tots. The tenders were good - crispy, not greasy, tender, not dried out. The breading was slightly salty. I liked the dipping sauce. The tater tots came & the first 3 I tried were not even the slightest bit warm. I saw a few clumps of what I think was thin melted orange cheese with I guess thin bacon crumbles. The most off putting thing about the potatoes was an odd unpleasant taste which I attribute to whatever oil they were cooked or coated in. Whatever it was left a chemical kind of taste in my mouth. On a different note, while the decor is charming, the chairs are uncomfortable. Altogether it was a disappointing experience. My sister spoke to the manager, after we finished, and he offered a replacement for the potatoes but she declined. Since the order was paid for upfront, there wasn't an offer to comp for the distasteful food

Once you're in, someone explains a bit about the rules (washing hands between the rooms, don't pick up the cats, etc). The cats are roaming free, but they have some "catio" rooms where some cats prefer isolation, or need to be isolated. There were 4 small kittens in one holding area, and I do wish they could have been given a bigger space given how active they were. Once someone goes inside to sit down, the cats have very little room to play. They also let a lot of people in at a time when there are only a few cats on the floor and multiple kept in their own rooms. It was so crowded. Kids were really loud and it felt like we didn't get a fair chance to meet most of the cats. It was a bit chaotic. We ended up spending most of our time with one single cat that everyone else was ignoring. They were also explaining that they had cats from Egypt on one side and Canada on the other side, so you have to wash your hands because they just don't know if it's safe. I think they could expand some of the catios and really control the number of people they're letting in at a time. We didn't get to meet most of the cats in the space.

Some of that can be overshadowed a bit by the rather surly woman who works at the desk. I do feel bad for her as I'm sure it's not an easy job to do but it can definitely dampen the experience. Beyond the staff and volunteers, the shelter itself is depressing as hell. The two rows of kennels that face each other in the middle are intimidating to walk down and the dogs really seem to trigger each other, very stressful environment. The building needs a HUGE makeover. Also, It smells awful, even when you first walk in. I understand there are animals there but the whole lobby doesn't need to smell like urine and various other unidentifiable smells. It doesn't even smell that bad where the dogs are contained, why so gross out front? Anyway, I'd give five stars because I love our dogs so much and would def support from them again but had to take off a couple of stars because the building itself and overall mood is quite abysmal. It seemed there have been efforts lately to change that but they've got a loooong road ahead of them.

They want to know that you will will provide a loving and safe home before adopting. You will be "screened" and need to wait a few days before taking your new kitty home.

Then I got to see the cats. The cat I was interested in was listed as gentle and loving. The gentleman who came to get her out of her cage had to call another staff to help him because he said she was "difficult". They let you interact with the cat you choose in a small room in the back. The room was crowded with random furniture and generally unpleasant. I understand that cats can be really nervous with strangers but there was no way to tell what her temperament might be in these surroundings. They offered to have the foster call me to talk more about her. Again, no call, no response. I'm guessing some of the people in there were probably volunteers but they didn't seem to know much about the cats in there (or much about cats in general). All in all it was a really disappointing experience. I ended up adopting from another agency.
