Meow Dyer Cat Cafe
Leonardtown, Maryland
Meow Dyer Cat Cafe, Lounge and Boutique is a cat cafe on Leonardtown Square in the historic downtown of Leonardtown, the county seat of St. Mary's County in southern Maryland, founded by Shannon Obedoza. Adoptable rescue cats live in a cat lounge, and the cafe now runs its own rescue, Meow Dyer Rescue, which handles adoption applications. Visitors pay to book play time in the lounge, and reservations are strongly encouraged, though walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Self-serve teas, coffees, hot cocoa and cold drinks are available, along with cookies when stocked. Children are welcome; under-18s need a parent to sign the waiver and under-13s must be with an adult. The boutique sells cat-themed toys, clothing and housewares, and the cafe runs ticketed events such as coloring hours, craft sessions and movie nights with the cats.
