Ferndale, Michigan
The Catfé Lounge is the cat café of the Ferndale Cat Shelter, a nonprofit rescue on Livernois Street in Ferndale, just north of 8 Mile Road. Rather than partnering with a rescue, the lounge is run by the shelter itself, so almost every cat and kitten visitors meet is available for adoption. Admission covers an hour in the lounge and a self-serve coffee, tea or juice. Reservations are recommended because weekend sessions fill quickly, and up to about 15 people share a session. Guests sign a waiver and sanitize their hands on arrival, children under 7 must be closely supervised by a parent, and cats may only be given treats handed out by volunteers. Visitors who are not looking to adopt are welcome. The shelter also runs fostering, medical care and trap-neuter-return programs for cats across metro Detroit, and adoptions can be started at the lounge.
