A Wonderful Addition to Leonardtown Square: Meow Dyer Cat Cafe!

January 11, 2025

Join them for their grand opening celebration from January 10th to 12th, with doors open daily from 12 PM to 7 PM.

Owner Shannon Myles Obedoza has partnered with Feral Cat Rescue to create a cozy, welcoming space where rescue cats can thrive while waiting for their forever homes. The cafe offers a calm and stress-free environment, allowing visitors to connect with the cats and see their true personalities—a perfect way to find your ideal furry companion.

Cat Interaction: Spend quality time with 10 to 15 adorable rescue cats, all spayed or neutered. Visits are available in 30-minute or 1-hour sessions to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy the space while keeping the cats comfortable. The focus will be on cats 6 months and older, providing a much-needed chance for these often-overlooked pets to find loving homes.
Adoptions: Start the adoption process right at the cafe! Final adoptions are handled through Feral Cat Rescue, which saved over 300 cats in 2024 and found homes for approximately 230 of them.

Boutique: Explore a selection of cute cat-themed merchandise, grab a gift card for a fellow cat lover, or enjoy light snacks and drinks. The boutique’s walls are adorned with beautiful art created by Elsewise Art, adding a vibrant and artistic touch to the space.
Future Plans: By Summer 2025, the cafe plans to expand its menu to include coffee, tea, and boba tea, with outdoor seating for patrons to relax and enjoy.

Visits to the cat lounge can be scheduled online, but walk-ins are welcome if space allows. The cat area accommodates up to 10 people at a time, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both visitors and cats.
