| - I have nothing but great things to say about Colony Cafe. Jumping straight to the important part, after making our 1-hour reservation online (on the opening night actually!), I got to spend time among a group of friendly, cuddly and purring cats of all ages. Walking through a door and up some stairs, you enter the cat area, which has plenty of furniture, rugs, cat toys and more. Just from sitting down, you will have cats approach you, looking for some pats and snuggles. You can bring your drinks upstairs (in provided plastic cups), so you can enjoy a glass of wine while you play.
Downstairs is a comfortable wine and coffee bar, with a great selection of wines and snacks. This area alone is a great coffee shop / wine bar, so to have the cat area above it makes it one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh!
Oh, and of course, you have the option of adopting one of these cute little ones. A wonderful side effect of the colony is that you can be confident that all the occupants are friendly to other cats and people (and that they are all spayed/neutered/vaccinated). We fell in love with a particular little lady, completed the (straightforward) paperwork that evening, and several days late (after the necessary checks), we came by to pick her up! She's now settled-in at our home with our other cat, who quickly became her new best friend.
Though I brought home my own piece of the Colony, that is not going to stop me coming back again and again.
