The Scratching Post is a cat lounge and board game cafe in Champaign, Illinois. Its nearly 1,000-square-foot lounge houses 25 or more foster cats, while a separate cafe room has viewing windows and a large board game library. The two areas even have separate ventilation systems. Every lounge cat is adoptable through local nonprofit rescue partners, including Catsnap and Valor. The cafe side sells light snacks and drinks, with coffee from Intuition Coffee. Visitors can reserve lounge sessions or a game table, and the operator recommends advance booking. The Scratching Post is a purr-fectly easy choice for an afternoon of cat time, tabletop games, or meeting an adoptable cat without the pace of a traditional shelter visit.
