Catcetera Cat Lounge
Raritan, New Jersey
Catcetera Cat Lounge is a free-roam cat lounge on West Somerset Street in downtown Raritan, Somerset County's first cat cafe, opened in March 2026 by co-owners Wendi Zimmerman and Jessica Adams. Around 30 adoptable cats live in the lounge through foster partnerships with Project MEOW of Philadelphia and Beacon of Hope Animal Rescue, with quieter areas for kittens and shy cats, and adoption fees go back to the rescues. Visits are 50-minute sessions booked online, with walk-ins taken when there is space and one adult required for every two minors. No food or drink is sold, but guests may bring their own from nearby businesses and keep it away from the cats. The calendar is unusually full: cat yoga, senior Thursdays, sensory-friendly quiet nights, adult nights, LGBTQIA+ teen nights, kids' story time, trivia, bingo and remote-work hours. A shop sells cat-themed gifts and local art.
