Closed at Industrial Park Drive since September 2026, when the cafe lost its lease. It is looking for a new location; no new address has been announced.
Feline Felons Cat Cafe is a cat lounge in Waldorf, Maryland, which owner Christine Gonzales opened in September 2023 in an industrial park on Industrial Park Drive. Its cats and kittens are adoptable and come from the Charles County Animal Care Center, and nearly 360 were adopted in its first year or so. Visitors booked time in a home-like cat lounge and a separate kitten room, with packaged snacks and bottled drinks for sale, and the cafe held events such as craft nights and kitten yoga. It also sells cat supplies. After losing its lease, it closed at Industrial Park Drive in September 2026, having helped with 1,306 adoptions, and in October 2026 it was still looking for a new location while keeping its online shop open.
