Purrista Cat Cafe
About
Purrista Cat Cafe offers a unique opportunity for feline interaction and adoption in Erie, Pennsylvania. This welcoming cat cafe partners with Because You Care, Inc., a dedicated 501(c)3 no-kill shelter, focusing on educating visitors about animal adoption and finding loving forever homes for abandoned and abused cats. Every feline friend in their cozy cat lounge is available for adoption, having been cared for by the shelter since 1982. To ensure a stress-free environment for these majestic creatures, the cat lounge limits visitors to just 12 people at a time. Guests can enjoy an hour of "purr bliss" for $15, interacting with cats described as happy, calm, relaxed, and highly interactive with abundant toys and furniture. Children aged 7 and above are welcome, with those 7-13 requiring adult accompaniment, in this pristine feline sanctuary.
While the coffee bar, offering fine espresso, specialty drinks, and delicious locally sourced pastries, welcomes walk-ins, reservations are strongly encouraged for the cat lounge to guarantee your spot. Visitors consistently praise the clean facility, emphasizing the friendly, kind staff who deeply care for the "precious fur babies." Customers rave about the delicious coffee, specialty drinks like the Funnel cake latte and dirty soda, plus yummy pretzel rolls, baked goods, and treats, often highlighting rotating flavored coffee specials. Guests are kindly asked to remove shoes before entering the cat lounge to protect the kitties; shoe covers, sanitizer wipes, and lint rollers are provided. Arrive five minutes before your scheduled time to check in at the coffee bar and complete the online agreement. Discover your next companion or simply enjoy serene cat interaction; customers highlight how difficult it is to leave without adopting due to the cats' lovey, cute, and human-acclimated nature.
