Palmyra, Pennsylvania
Cocoa Kitties Catio is the indoor cat lounge of Cocoa Kitties, an all-volunteer cat rescue based near Hershey, on West Main Street in Palmyra.

Visits last about 50 minutes and are booked online for a small donation that includes coffee or hot chocolate, and walk-ins are possible when space allows. Guests wear socks in the lounge, may bring their own food but should not feed the cats, and children aged 5 and up must be supervised by an adult. All cats are available for adoption through the rescue, and visit fees help pay for veterinary care, food and litter. The Catio also hosts a free monthly silent book club with the cats.
