Whiskerville Kitty Cat Cafe
Belmont, North Carolina
Whiskerville Kitty Cat Cafe is Belmont's only cat cafe, on Beaty Road west of Charlotte. Foster cats and kittens live in a cage-free Kitty Cat Lounge while they wait for adoption, in partnership with Cat Smart Coalition, a Gaston County trap-neuter-return group whose volunteers raise the cats until they are fully vaccinated. Visits to the lounge are paid by admission and can be booked online; walk-ins are taken when there is room, since guest numbers are limited. Everyone entering signs a waiver, children of any age are welcome with a parent, and visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Cats are not to be picked up. It is not a full cafe: there is a self-serve coffee and tea bar, a drinks cooler and prepackaged snacks, plus a cat-themed gift shop. The owner also hosts crafts, painting, yoga and book club events.
