The Cat Lounge at Glasshouse Nursery
Chatham, Ontario
The Cat Lounge is an enclosed cat room inside the Purrculator Cafe at the Glasshouse Nursery, a large garden centre and gift shop on Creek Road in Chatham. It opened in 2024 and is run by Pet and Wildlife Rescue (PAWR) together with the nursery. Every cat in the lounge is a PAWR shelter cat available for adoption, often an older, shy or overlooked cat that does better here than in a kennel. Visitors make a donation to PAWR for a timed session and can bring in a coffee or snack from the cafe counter, which serves espresso drinks, muffins and croissants. Adoptions are completed at the PAWR shelter on Park Avenue East, two minutes away, and the lounge reached its 100th adoption in July 2026. Many visitors combine a session with a walk through the nursery's plant displays and boutique.
