Mew Haven Cat Cafe
Visit Connecticut's first cat cafe! Hang out with a bunch of lovable cats while enjoying a coffee and cinnamon roll. All of the cats are from a local shelter and are adoptable. It's a great way to get your caffeine fix and cat fix at the same time, and it's an excellent way to help cats find permanent homes. Reservations recommended.
