Cafés and coffee shops are nice, but they have so few cats! Mount Purrnon Cat Café and Wine Bar has the remedy for that. Mount Purrnon is Alexandria’s first and only cat café, and aims to find loving homes for the dozens of local kitties that need a family. Even if you can’t take on a pet right now, your patronage helps the animals at Mount Purrnon become more social. Stop in to enjoy a fresh salad or simple sandwich, a cup of coffee or tea, and a much-needed snuggle with a feline friend. A wine bar is coming soon (upon licensing approval), so that will be just another reason to stop back again for another visit. 

Walk-ins are welcome as long as the café is not at capacity, but you can schedule your visit to be assured a place in this pet-lover’s paradise. Bring a few friends, or plan on coming solo with a good book or your laptop. Mount Purrnon Cat Café and Wine Bar is located right in the heart of Old Town, and also offers weekly events like Jeopurrdy! Get all the details online.
