Kitty Corner Café

Bozeman, Montana · 120 mi / 193 km

Cat Show Cat Café is a nonprofit cat lounge upstairs in The Market building at Ferguson Farm, above the Garden Barn plant and gift shop. Opened in November 2020 as Montana's first cat cafe, it is home to eight permanent resident cats who roam a large room with rafters to climb, an exercise wheel and big bean bags. The cats are not currently up for adoption. Visitors check in downstairs, wash their hands and pay a per-person entry fee for a day pass; reservations are encouraged because only 10 guests are allowed upstairs at once, and walk-ins may have to wait. No food or drink is sold, but guests can bring coffee or snacks from the businesses in The Market. Visitors must be 10 or older, with one adult per child under 16. Cat treats are sold on site, and guests can add drawings to an art scrapbook.

The House Cat is a cat cafe on 27th Street in downtown Ogden, a few blocks south of Historic 25th Street. Founded by longtime friends Christine Otterstrom, a zoologist and barista, and Jenny Wilcox, a culinary school-trained baker, it pairs an espresso bar using locally roasted coffee and house-baked quiches, cookies and bars with a separate cat lounge. All of the lounge cats come from Weber County Animal Services, arrive spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and are adopted through the shelter. Lounge visits are timed, are currently walk-in only and carry a small admission fee, and guests sign a waiver and may bring their food and drinks into the lounge. Kittens too small to live in the lounge sometimes visit while they grow. The cafe also sells handmade merchandise, hosts events and takes private group bookings.
