Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar

When we got an email about two seniors dumped at a Baltimore shelter, we knew we needed them. Dr. Dinosaur was immediately at home at the cafe and so happy to meet new friends everyday. To know him was truly to love him. We celebrated his sweet 16 last month with many treats and cuddles.

When we got him, he had been going with untreated hyperthyroidism, among other things, for who knows how long. After many vet visits, we hoped we could stabilize him. We even took him to a cat dental specialist but he was not a good candidate for anesthesia. Yesterday, we discovered he had advanced mouth cancer for which there was no treatment. He left this world in my arms with a belly full of churu, purring and so loved. He was truly a special cat.

If you visited the last two months and met him, thank you for giving him so much love. He loved every one of you.

It’s always hard to lose a pet but knowing he was so happy his last few months brings comfort. I will never stop asking for the seniors and “hot messes.”
They love hard ❤️

His former housemate Professor is being fostered at my home for now but he is still available for adoption. He’s a sweet, shy guy and absolutely adorable. If you have a calm home and some other senior cats for him to befriend, please reach out!

See you on the other side Dino ❤️

Herschel may look a little rough around the edges but this handsome man loves brushes and love. We estimate him to be about 8 years young. He was found outside, likely abandoned, and he arrived needing a lot of TLC. Thankfully, he loves to be doted on and willingly will have “spa” time where he gets brushes and wipes. He is fine with other cats or alone and he gets along with everyone he meets. He has a very low key vibe and will be the best cat for whoever is lucky enough to scoop him up! Come meet Herschel and the gang today until 6 but be sure to make a reservation! ❤️

Help more cats at Caroline County Humane Society and donate to their annual Slumber Pawty! We get many cats from there, included our beloved Bitsy.

🎉Sppnsor Spotlight🎉

We’re so grateful to Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar for sponsoring our Shelter Slumber Pawty. Their sponsorship is in honor of Little Bit, a senior cat who came to CCHS and they later adopted through our partnership with Fancy Cats. Their love and care for Little Bit is just one example of how they make a lasting impact on our community's cats in need.

Located in historic Alexandria, Mount Purrnon is the ultimate destination for cat lovers. Whether you’re there to relax with some cat therapy, catch up with friends, or enjoy a delicious meal and drink, you’re also helping rescue and care for adoptable cats until they find their homes.

We’re so thankful for the ongoing support of Mount Purrnon and the difference they’re making in the lives of cats and people alike.
Make sure to visit them soon, show your appreciation, and enjoy all the wonderful food and drinks they have to offer!
