I walked into a local gem. If you like small, local, and eclectic, then Welcome!…read more I was looking for some specific Finch bird seed for a birthday present. I knew Diehl Feed South was close by. So, I decided to stop by. It was little like an Alice in Wonderland experience. Zoe the Cat peered at me atop a shelf by the front door - silently inspecting me, assessing my usefulness with the lazy blink of an eye, and immediately categorizing my character on behalf of her Proprietress as non-threatening, and thus free to browse the Wonderland that was her home. The store itself is just brimming from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. This is not a place for small children to run wild or adults who are cringe at one thing out of place. This is a place for folks who love slow shopping, almost forgotten small shops, controlled chaos, eclectic interests, hidden treasures, and all that celebrates the outdoorsy natural world. Diehl's has a little bit of this and that - from pets' treats and toys, to bird watching, feeding, and housing, to helping the bees and butterflies, to outside chimes, flags, and decorations, to gardening gadgets, to small animal feed, and more... I wandered the tiny aisles carefully, searching amid the crowded shelves like they were a Wonderland Maze - and cautiously because they are a bit precarious. Every inch and corner had something of curiosity or interest. I was there for a specific purpose though. Like Alice, I went down the proverbial Rabbit Hole, and began searching for my birdseed birthday treasure. With so much inventory, and so little knowledge of Finches, I decided to ask the Lady of the store for help. The Proprietress... well, you just need to meet her and chat! I was in the presence of an Elder who Knows Things and has the Power to Change the World for Good. She may be tiny in stature but definitely big in personality and full of Knowledge when you ask the Questions. She did not stop moving and working during my entire visit. Yet, she was very friendly and chatty as she multi-tasked, hefting heavy bags of feed and misc product around that weighed more than she did. She advised me on the selection of birdseed. We were supervised the entire time by Zoe, who must have deigned me worthy of her attention. I was allowed to offer pets and scritches, in between her sloe-eyed blinks. I believe Zoe knighted me a worthy Wonderland adventurer -- and paying customer. You will not hear any shrill shouts of a mad Queen spewing high prices or the annoying beeps of electronic bar codes being swiped. Rather, you'll have a lovely chat with a kind Lady at the counter, working hard beyond an expected age, giving you a Decent price, and silently offering a choice to donate to local charity at the counter with a jar collecting change. And yes, I found my specific birdseed and some feeders, with the delightful customer service by the Lady. I'll be back. I love shopping local and a good Wonderland adventure. Plus, I hear there are more cats! I need more Zoe pets and to meet the rest of her Wonderland party. ;)

I took my teen daughter, I paid $14 or $15 per person to be in a room with cats for 1 hour, and left after 10 minutes. Given that it says Cafe, I assumed there would be food available, at a minimum I thought I was going to get to hold a cat while drinking a latte. There were a few concessions you could buy, like M&M's. There are rules such as you cannot pick up the cats. I don't know about other cat lovers, but if you can't snuggle a cat I don't know how to tell if it's a fit for you or not lol. My daughter was the one who asked if we could leave, but I did not hesitate to do so. I couldn't help but think we could have been at the humane society holding cats for free. It was a disappointing experience. Sorry I didn't take more pictures to show.
