Catty Corner
Altoona, Pennsylvania
Catty Corner is a nonprofit cat rescue and cat lounge on 13th Avenue in downtown Altoona. It operates from the former Second Chance Strays Cat Rescue and Lounge, which took on the Catty Corner name in late 2025, and gives rescued cats a home-like space to live until they are adopted. Visitors can come in during the weekly open hours simply to spend time with the cats, or to meet one they might take home, and a modest visit fee helps cover food, litter and veterinary care. Around twenty cats and kittens are usually in residence, all spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested before adoption, with reduced fees for adopting two kittens together. Adoption applications are handled through the rescue's online form. The lounge is staffed by volunteers and has relaxed seating and plenty of climbing space for the cats.
