Catfé Montclair
Montclair, New Jersey
Catfé Montclair is a cat lounge and adoption space on Bloomfield Avenue in downtown Montclair, Essex County, in a second-floor walk-up suite. It opened in January 2024 and works with the rescue Homeless Tails, whose cats come largely from the streets of Newark, Irvington and East Orange and live in the lounge while they wait for adopters. It is not a full cafe: admission includes a drink from a self-serve station with coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Reservations are required to guarantee entry, and same-day bookings are final. Shoes come off and clean socks are required, with cat socks for sale. Guests are asked not to wake or pick up the cats and to keep voices low. Children 7 and older are welcome, with monthly Family Cat Time sessions for ages 5 and up. Events include cat yoga, bingo, sound baths and paint nights.
