This is so important. You have to visit Philadelphia's Cat Café this weekend. Le Cat Café is a PURR-fect place to hang. You know how much we love cats here. So we're serious. It's one thing going to a cute little café to get some coffee and a pastry. It's another thing to have CATS there to pet while you sip. At Le Cat Café, the mission is more than just hanging with feline friends. The cats at Le Cat are all rescues.

So here's how it works. They recommend that you snag a booking before arriving. Reservations are not required, but they are recommended so you're guaranteed time with the kitties. Only 20 humans are allowed in the place per hour, so its wise to plan ahead. You also have to sign a waiver. Be prepared to sign for those in your party who are under 18. Under 18s also have to be accompanied by an adult. All of this is to keep the 12 cats on site, and you, safe!

Because the cats are rescues, they are single and ready to mingle. Which means THEY'RE ADOPTABLE! If you happen to fall in love with one of these lil guys while you're chillin', you can sign the papers and take 'em home! How amazing is that?

Cats need homes

The Cat Café is run by Green Street Rescue. They have tons of kitties that need fur-ever homes. Green Street Rescue isn't a shelter. It's a network of volunteers who work and help with trapping, vetting and providing foster homes. There is an overpopulation problem happening with cats. Basically, there are more stray cats than house cats. With proper care, adoption, and education, all cats can find a home and we can end overpopulation!

So if you're looking to bring home a feline friend, consider stopping by Le Cat Café. All of the lovely cats there need homes! They always have events going on, so check out their Instagram or website for more details.

Here Are 8 Dog-Friendly Restaurants and Bars In Philadelphia

It's almost impossible to be apart from your pup. That's why dog-friendly restaurants and bars exist. They recognize that even our dogs deserve a night out on the town.

If you're a devoted foodie, chances are your dog is, too. When do dogs ever turn down a chance to go eat something good. Restaurants must love dog-customers. They aren't very harsh critics, and they drive up the cuteness factor of the place. After all, it really wouldn't be fair if you got to go out and enjoy the great weather and good eats in the city without man's best friend.

Your pup is sure to love a meal out and about. Being at a cool bar or eatery is part of enjoying the finer things in life. And your doggie deserves the very best, we all know it.

All of the restaurants on this list have outdoor seating options, therefore you and your pooch can dine comfortably without having to worry about noise or potty breaks. Outside is a dog's favorite place to be, especially when the outside smells as good as a restaurant does. Make sure you snag a treat for your furry friend, you can't let them miss out!

Here are 8 dog-friendly restaurants and bars in Philadelphia:

Cherry Street Pier

Cherry Street Pier is a year-round public space on the Delaware River waterfront. There's more to do here than just eat or drink, but those are pluses so, yeah. You and your pup can have fun roaming around this outdoor space checking out the pretty sight of the river. There are tons of concessions served out of trolley cars, how cool!

Fiore Fine Foods

Fiore Fine Foods has tons of sweet treats for you and your dog to chow down on. They have outdoor weekend brunch service when the weather's good. Who doesn't love a good Sunday brunch? I know your pup probably agrees.

Pentridge Station

This bar looks like loads of outdoor fun. There is a catch, though, but that's okay. They have an open season that starts on June 3rd, 2023. Check out their website for season details and times. They have an ever-changing lineup of food vendors, and cool hammocks your doggie can chill out on.

K'Far Café

This Israeli bakery and café serves pastries and yummy drinks. Your doggo can have babka, and you rugelach. Or you can scrap that altogether and enjoy one of their salads or grain bowls together. Their outdoor seating is spacious and pretty.

Sunset Social

Okay, okay, they also have an open season, opening in Spring 2023. They're a summertime spot. BUT, that doesn't stop you from being able to take a trip with your pup to Sunset Social. Just check out their website for details. They are a rooftop bar with great views of the city. your dog will love being up that high. They can see something they've never seen before. Dogs like being tall!

Cantina Los Caballitos

The patio at Cantina Los Caballitos is dog-friendly. There you guys can enjoy some delicious tacos (and you can sneak a margarita). I heard dogs really like quesabirria...I don't know. Heard it on the streets somewhere. Ask your dog what they think.

White Dog Café

They have SO MANY area locations. Wayne, Haverford, University City, etc. Your dog and you can literally tour these places. White Dog Café is not only dog-friendly, they are dog-inspired. Every location has a fun little way to honor the pups in our lives. Your dog will love to see the representation, I'm sure.

Sally

Sally is a yummy pizza and small plates shop. Their outdoor seating is super legit. You'll really enjoy their great selection of wines, too. It's definitely a must-see for you and your best furry friend.
