The Shabby Tabby Cat Lounge
Grand Rapids, Minnesota
The Shabby Tabby Cat Lounge is a cat lounge in downtown Grand Rapids, Minnesota, on NW 4th Street, run alongside the Bark & Beyond pet shop. Visitors pay a fee to relax, cuddle and play with adoptable cats in a homely lounge run in partnership with Hero's Heart Animal Rescue, a licensed Minnesota kennel. Cats can be adopted through the rescue's own application process, which includes screening and a background check. There is no cafe inside, but the lounge works with a nearby coffee shop and deli. It is one of the few cat lounges in northern Minnesota and also holds adoption events.
