Top 10 Cat Cafes in the U.S.

Cat cafes aren't just for humans to enjoy. It's perfectly fine to visit without the intention of adopting a new pet, but the ultimate goal of cat cafes is to find homes for the many stray cats in need.

Anyone who hasn't visited a cat cafe has been missing out. Cat cafes originated in Taiwan, but cat cuddling is a worldwide pastime. The idea spread quickly in the United States, and there are now cat cafes in almost every state.
