What an experience! If you are a cat lover this is a must visit stop in Pittsburgh.
First - make a reservation. 10-12 people are permitted to be in the cat loft at a time. It books up quickly. Redactions can be made online and last one hour. It's $8 per person.
Second - parking. Depending on what time of day you visit street parking is available. I used the Greyhound bus station garage directly across the street. It's $5.00 for 2 hours or less. Super easy to find. When you take the elevator to the lobby the cafe is directly across the street.
Third - arrive a few minutes before your session to order drinks and treats. You can place an order while you are in the loft, but it's nice to use your full time with the cats.
The cafe itself is cute and trendy. I am a serial chai tea latte drinks and this one did not disappoint. I am not exaggerating when I say it may be one of the best ones I've ever had. Even my sister who doesn't typically drink them said she loved it.
The loft is beautiful! Comfy chairs, benches and a glass over view to see downstairs to the cafe. They provide several bins of toys to use for play. Each of the cats have a name with their name on it. Some are friendly than others. They all arrive at different times. We visited with two cats who had only been in the loft for a day so they were a little timid. The cats range in age too and all are up for adoption.
I can't get over how incredible this concept is. I love that the cats are all adoptable. They receive so much love in the loft! I'd love to see more of this in the future.
