The Tipsy Tabby
The Tipsy Tabby is a cat cafe on Main Street in downtown Newmarket, on the New Hampshire Seacoast, and opened in February 2023 as the state's first cat cafe. Founder Kaitlyn returned home after working at a veterinary dentistry practice near Atlanta. The cafe, open to everyone, serves coffee, tea, hot chocolate, homemade boba and baked goods, with views into the lounge. The lounge is by appointment for a per-person entry fee; walk-in appointments are possible when there is space, but booking online is recommended. All the cats come from Darbster Kitty in Manchester, are spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and are adopted through the rescue, which receives the full adoption fee. All ages are welcome with one adult for every two children. Despite the name, the cafe no longer serves alcohol.
