The Catvalier Lounge
Owosso, Michigan
The Catvalier Lounge is Shiawassee County's first cat lounge, in its own building next to Defying Gravity Bakery Café on North State Road, across from Meijer between Owosso and Corunna. Opened in August 2025 by bakery owner Michelle Holmes, it hosts a rotating group of five to seven adoptable cats chosen by the Shiawassee Humane Society, which handles all adoptions; visitors can scan a QR code for each cat to start an application. Visits are one-hour sessions at a flat per-person fee, with up to 12 guests at a time, and the whole room can be booked privately. Sessions are reserved online or by phone, and walk-ins are welcome when space allows. Guests check in at the bakery, where they can buy coffee, breakfast, lunch or pastries to take into the lounge. Events have included cat yoga and paint-your-pet nights.
