Karma Kat Cafe
Mount Pleasant, Michigan
Karma Kat Cafe is a cat lounge on East Broadway Street in Mount Pleasant near Central Michigan University. Founded in 2018, it is a state-licensed animal shelter run by the nonprofit Karma Kat Rescue, and its cats live together cage-free in a communal lounge while they wait for homes; more than 1,000 have been adopted. Visitors pay a small admission and can stay as long as they like. Reservations are strongly recommended because the cafe limits the number of people per cat, and walk-ins are not always possible. Everyone signs a waiver. A few drinks and snacks are sold in the waiting room, and outside food is allowed in the lounge, though not for the cats. All adoptable cats are fixed, microchipped and vaccinated. The cafe holds low-cost spay and neuter clinics twice a month and hosts painting, yoga and bingo with the cats.
