Alley Kats Deal Den & Kitty Lounge
Duncan, British Columbia
Alley Kats Deal Den is an antique and thrift shop with a cat lounge on the Trans-Canada Highway in Duncan, the Cowichan Valley's first cat lounge. Run by Katrine Petersen and Alex Campbell, it opened the lounge in November 2025 inside the store they had operated for several years, and has since added a separate kitten room. Around 20 cats and kittens live there at a time, most of them strays, surrendered pets and cats from the Stray Cats of South Cowichan rescue, and most are available for adoption, with fees that cover their vet care; more than 90 have been rehomed. Visitors pay an entry fee per person, with a family rate, and admission includes a drink from the small concession. The shop sells antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing, local crafts and housewares, and the lounge can be rented after hours for birthdays and other private parties.
