Purr Cup Cafe
Raleigh, North Carolina
Purr Cup Cafe is a coffee shop and cat adoption lounge on Prospect Avenue just south of downtown Raleigh, beside Mount Hope Cemetery, and it calls itself Raleigh's first cat cafe. The space has two parts: a cafe with a back patio serving coffee, tea and a menu of plant-based drinks and vegan snacks, open to anyone, and a cat lounge where adoptable cats from the SPCA of Wake County roam freely. Time in the lounge carries a reservation fee and is best booked ahead, as walk-ins are taken only when space allows; private room bookings are also offered. All ages are welcome, but children under eight are limited to certain morning hours. The cat room opens shortly after the cafe each morning. There is free parking in front, behind the building and along Prospect Avenue. The building has an accessible rear entrance but is not fully ADA compliant.
