Cat Zen Cafe and Lounge
Saint Charles, Missouri
Cat Zen Cafe and Lounge is a cat cafe on North Main Street in the historic downtown of St. Charles, Missouri, the brick-paved shopping district along the Missouri River, and was the town's first cat lounge. Its free-roaming lounge, with plenty of perches, hideouts and toys, acts as a temporary foster home for adoptable cats from Smelly Cat Rescue, a nonprofit that helps stray and barn cats and their kittens. All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, tested for feline leukemia and personality tested before they arrive. Visitors book 30 or 60 minutes in the lounge, and an hour includes a free drink; walk-ins are welcome when space allows, and every guest signs a waiver. Coffee, tea, snacks and cat-themed gifts are sold. The lounge occasionally closes for paint classes, yoga and private events, and more than 400 cats have been adopted through it.
