Be aware if you go early afternoon, cats may tend to be sleeping, but we found a few awake and ready for cuddles! Great spaces for sitting, kneeling, and hanging out with the cats. It is on the second floor, and you need to either reserve time with the cats online or at the counter in advance. The cafe is separate from the cat room, and there is a bathroom for customers.

There is only paid parking a few yards down from the place, which is in the YMCA parking lot. There is a small waiver to sign and you pay beforehand. And after that, that's it. Now you can't pick the cats up but you can sit or stand while you are in there and wait until they come to you. Lots of hot or cold drinks to purchase while you wait on your turn to go in. It's a nice, therapeutic treat whether you are looking for adoption or not.

There were 8 (that I could find) on my visit - Great prices on both coffee and cat visits ($7 for 30 min, $10 for an hour) - Really nice staff and they enforce the rules. Don't pick up the cats! - The cats are treated so well. Tons of toys for them to play with - Location was easy to find and park. Note: they are about to move down the street. Check location before going CONS: - I did not take any cats home with me and I miss them all! Great spot. Try to go earlier in the day as the cats like to nap after a long day of pets and play. Give them your business!

Yesterday evening, my husband and I had a delightful experience at North Main Kava Bar in Lowell,…read moreNC, for an event they hosted called " Kava & Queens - Sexy & Grown ." This space is truly unique in that, while it bears the title of a bar, no alcohol is served. We entered and saw this adorably eclectic space. I inquired about kava and kratom, and Bambe and Sam (the owners) kindly explained what they are and their effects on people. It's fascinating to know that something can provide the pleasant sensation of drinking alcohol without the adverse effects. As I conversed with the owners and some patrons, I saw that this space is undoubtedly inclusive and understanding of our individual differences--a safe haven where one can be oneself. I decided to try the kava they recommended, which had a subtle coffee-like flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing to note, as the owners explained to us, is that high-quality kava will produce a slight numbing sensation on your tongue. I also tried the refreshing cucumber version of the kava, and it was truly refreshing, to say the least. Kava does live up to its purported effects. I felt relaxed and like I had no pain, which is super awesome coming from someone living with chronic disorders. My husband had some of the kratom as a mocktail mixed with pineapple juice. Kratom comes in various strains and colors, and depending on the color, it can have different effects. He opted for white kratom for its energizing properties. He also tried the Kratomdriver (kratom and orange juice). By the end of the night, my husband described the feeling of wanting to go for a run because he said it's like a sugar rush. (But don't let him fool you; when we got home, he was out like a light .) They have an outdoor patio for anyone looking to enjoy the company of friends or simply relax in a nice, laid-back area in addition to their main bar area inside. This establishment is exceptionally welcoming and inclusive to all who enter its doors. The owners friendly and familiar demeanor creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for all guests. They host events throughout the month for anyone looking to go and experience kava or kratom, but in an eventful manner. Bambe and Sam, thank you for having such a great establishment where people can go, enjoy time spent with each other, and have actual conversations, showing people that a "bar" does not have to be the stigma we all think it to be. Last night's performances were truly enjoyable, and it is a night I will always remember because I felt I belonged. ‍

There is a coffee bar that does professional lattes and other popular brews. A boutique with a range of cat care and gifts for cat people. They also board cats, so check that out.

Sit, watch, sip a brew and pet those cats that deem you worthy of their time and attention. Call for a reservation. Generally 30 minutes and there is a small fee to help support this effort.

A perfect cozy spot to enjoy a drink, do some work, meet a friend etc. I ordered a matcha with toffee and it was phenomenal. My husband got a cold brew- they put coffee ice cubes in which is a nice touch and when I asked for cream and sugar they measured the sugar and added hot water to make a simple syrup so it wouldn't be a gritty mess in the cup. What a wonderful added touch! They have over a dozen different flavor syrups, use organic matcha, have Vietnamese or Turkish coffee and even cafe con leche. The baked good in the case also looked phenomenal. Also two large drinks were $10.47 and the cups were as big as a Starbucks venti (which are now like $7 a piece) Thanks for a great experience bill and bobs!!
