The Alley Cat Café, in the heart of downtown Ithaca, is a new establishment where cat lovers can get a furry fix while enjoying vegetarian café options. In addition to offering cat-themed drinks, pastries, and sandwiches, the café features a play area for children. But the pièce de résistance is the “cat room” located in the back, where more than half a dozen rescue kittens are available for customers to play with. Many of the kittens are offered for adoption as well.
