Welcome to The Pretty Paw Lounge
The Capital Region's first and only cat café!



What is a Cat Café?
At The Pretty Paw Lounge, you'll not only find delicious baked treats (including gluten-free and vegan options!) and caffeinated beverages to help you power through even the toughest day, you're also able to enjoy the best cuddles at any coffee shop in the area!
That's right! We have adorable kitties, great caffeinated drinks, local baked goods, and a gift shop with local vendors! Don't worry, our sweet felines are kept completely separate from the food and beverages, fully in compliance with New York Health Codes.

Donations
In addition to our cats' wellness check-ups, we always have new cats and kittens coming in that need some kind of vet care- whether it be dental surgery, eye drops, or a spay/neuter.
If you would like to help, please call our local veterinarian, Companion Animal Medical Center at 518-213-5633, and let them know you would like to donate to The Pretty Paw Lounge Fund, or
visit the Donate page on this site.
Any donations are greatly appreciated!
Whose cats are they?
This is the best part. At The Pretty Paw Lounge, we work in conjunction with shelters across New York to care for our fur babies and find them forever homes. While we want you to leave happily with a bit of a sugar high or a caffeine buzz, we would really be over the moon if you left with your new forever friend!


Can I just play with the cats?
Yes! While our mission is to help all our furry staff find forever homes with loving people, we realize not everyone who adores cats is able to have their own. We also know this region is a temporary home for many college students and visitors, so perhaps you're away from your own pet(s) and you're longing for a little kitty snuggle time while here in the Capital District.
Whether you're looking to meet cats eligible for adoption or just need cuddles, we've got you covered. Click the Schedule a Playdate! button below or come by and we'll set you up with our next available time slot!
