Where do coffee and cat lovers go for a fun day out? MeWow Cat Cafe, located in Doylestown, is a popular pick! The MeWow Cat Cafe is the perfect place for cat lovers to go if they’re looking to adopt or simply just spend time with animals. This cat cafe offers a variety of drinks and snacks, cat supplies, and of course, the cats. Their mission is to give their cats the loving home they deserve, which is our main focus. This business is built on contributions from its supporters and is always open to donations to give its animals the best life they can have in the shelter.
So, what is to be expected upon a visit? Well, when you first walk in, you are greeted by the very friendly staff who will direct you to the waiting area as you wait for your reserved time slot to begin. They make it easy via their website. As you wait for your time with the cats, who are separated by personality type in their two sections, you can look at the variety of pet supplies and merchandise they offer. The two personality types that the cats are divided into are playful and cuddly cats. When making an appointment, you can choose which one you would like to meet. Rooms are clean and large for the cats to give them ample space to run around, sleep, eat, and interact with other cats and the customers.
The mission of the MeWow Cat Cafe is to get their rescues to a loving home where they can thrive and live their best life. This is apparent from the start. While browsing their website, you can view a list of the adoption centers with which they partner. MeWow does not directly handle adoptions; instead, they collaborate with local rescues to get the word out about the cats, and then the rescue where they came from will handle the formal adoption process. Some of these include Kitty Junction, Animal Alliance, A Better Life, Kitty Mamas Sanctuary Rescue, and A Bigger Purpose for Kitten Rescue.
As for the cafe portion of the experience, they offer a variety of different drinks and snacks. There is a stand in front of the cat play areas, where you can order off the menu. Some options include: many different coffee flavors such as hazelnut, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and more. In addition to the artisan teas like chamomile, citrus mint tea, strawberry white tea, etc., they also display their baked goods, which include cookies, granola bars, rice Krispies, and of course, cat treats. The whole concept of the cats, and the homemade food and drink, adds to the experience of visiting the cafe. It is a very comfortable environment and feels very casual.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a warm, homey atmosphere that puts them at ease. In the waiting room, a customer named Lily sat with her mother, Florence, as she considered adopting a new cat. Lily said her previous cat had recently died, and she chose to visit a cat cafe because she has always found them to be an engaging way to adopt. “I love the concept of cat cafes because socializing animals with people is a more humane way of adoption,” she said.
Staff members at the cafe say the environment is just as meaningful for them as it is for visitors. Karly, an employee who prepared tea for customers, said she has worked at the cafe for two years. She said that the job helps keep her from adopting more animals, though she already has one senior cat at home. She expressed that she chose to adopt an older cat because she believed “senior animals deserve more recognition and care than they often receive,” Karly said. Mary, another employee who checked guests into the cat play area, has been at the cafe for only a few months. She said the most rewarding part of the job is seeing cats matched with responsible owners. To her, she added, “the role feels more like a hobby than actual work”.
As the MeWow Cat Cafe continues to welcome visitors, its focus remains clear: creating a comfortable space where people and animals can connect. With its commitment to partnering with local rescues and providing a calm, engaging environment, the cafe has become more than just a spot for coffee. For many, it’s a place where new beginnings take shape.
