Coaster Cats Cat Cafe
Coaster Cats Cat Cafe is a cat cafe on North Hanover Street in downtown Carlisle, a short walk from the town square. It occupies the former Round-A-Bout Bagels cat cafe, which opened here in April 2025; Roxy and Nick Moseley, a husband-and-wife team from the animal care industry whose love of roller coasters gave the cafe its name, bought the business in the summer of 2026 and reopened it as Coaster Cats in August 2026. Visitors pay timed admission, in 30- or 60-minute slots with lower prices for children, to spend time with adoptable cats from Furry Friends Animal Rescue, and drinks and snacks such as specialty lattes and bagels are bought separately. Reservations through the online booking page are suggested, especially on weekends, though walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Every guest needs a ticket and a signed waiver, and children 12 and under need a chaperone. The cafe runs regular events, such as book nights, teen nights and movie nights.

Cocoa Kitties Catio
Palmyra, Pennsylvania31 mi / 51 km
Cocoa Kitties Catio is the indoor cat lounge of Cocoa Kitties, an all-volunteer cat rescue based near Hershey, on West Main Street in Palmyra. After years as a purely foster-based rescue, the group opened the Catio in 2026 so the public could spend time with its adoptable cats and kittens in a relaxed, home-like room. Visits last about 50 minutes and are booked online for a small donation that includes coffee or hot chocolate, and walk-ins are possible when space allows. Guests wear socks in the lounge, may bring their own food but should not feed the cats, and children aged 5 and up must be supervised by an adult. All cats are available for adoption through the rescue, and visit fees help pay for veterinary care, food and litter. The Catio also hosts a free monthly silent book club with the cats.

Cuddles Rescue & Cat Lounge
Mohnton, Pennsylvania64 mi / 103 km
Cuddles Rescue & Cat Lounge is a volunteer-run nonprofit cat rescue with a free-roaming cat lounge in Stabon Pond Plaza on East Wyomissing Avenue in Mohnton, just southwest of Reading. The rescue began inside the former Perfect Match Pet Shop before moving into its own space. Its cats come from local rescues around the United States and from partner rescues in Kuwait, and each is tested for FIV and FeLV and observed in quarantine before joining the lounge. Visitors can drop in during opening hours to relax and play with the cats, and donations are welcome to support their care. Nearly all of the cats are available for adoption, with spay or neuter, vaccinations and a microchip included, and a foster-to-adopt option lets families try a cat at home first. The plaza is close to a park and several places to eat.
