The Black Cat Market
About
The Black Cat Market cat cafe in Pittsburgh is both a charming cafe and a vital adoption center for felines seeking forever homes. This mission-driven space provides a temporary haven for adoptable kitties, dedicated to cats and community. Visitors can enjoy a half-hour session with the cats for $9, or opt for a two-hour "Study Hall" for $30, perfect for extended interaction. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekends, though walk-ins are sometimes available. The thoughtfully designed cat room is clean and spacious, featuring elements like benches that double as tunnels, ensuring cats have ample space to play, explore, or retreat. This commitment to cat welfare ensures a comfortable environment for the sweet and playful resident cats, who are all adoptable and come from a wonderful organization.
Visitors consistently praise The Black Cat Market for its clean facility and the comfortable, welcoming environment it offers for cat interaction. Customers highlight the friendly, knowledgeable staff who truly care for the cats, along with an easy and pleasant adoption process, with many happy adoptions through their partner Frankie's Friends. Beyond feline companionship, this cat lounge features a unique gift shop filled with local-made artisan items, from cat-themed stickers to jewelry, perfect for supporting small businesses. While the space serves delicious coffee and tea, including Peruvian chai, it also hosts engaging recurring events like fun paint nights and workshops, fostering a strong sense of community. For dedicated cat lovers, a membership program offers unlimited cat room visits. For an optimal experience, consider booking an early appointment as cats can get sleepy later in the day, and reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekends. Discover your next feline friend or simply enjoy a serotonin boost in this welcoming Pittsburgh sanctuary.
