Treetops Kitty Cafe is a free-roaming cat rescue and adoption center operated by Tree Tops Animal Rescue (TTAR), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2006 dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for animals, primarily cats. Over its history, TTAR has successfully adopted 1,548 animals through home-based operations and foster networks. The organization expanded reach in 2017 by launching Treetops Kitty Cafe in Kennett Square, a dedicated cat cafe and adoption center providing essential care, medical attention, and re-socialization in a cage-free environment. The mission prioritizes rescuing most at-risk but adoptable cats from high-kill shelters and placing them in permanent adoptive homes with thorough adopter screening ensuring appropriate matches. The cafe provides complimentary tea and coffee with soft drinks available for small donations. The space accommodates relaxation, work completion, or adoption exploration.
Treetops Kitty Cafe features a gorgeous, recently renovated interior with stimulating toys, climbing structures, running spaces, and sleeping areas for resident cats. The adjacent retail shop offers cat-themed items and supplies perfect for adoptable cat families. All purchases directly support rescue operations. Visitors help adoptable cats socialize in preparation for future homes through simply spending time with loving humans in an environment providing individualized attention. The organization welcomes help through visits, donations, volunteering, or adoption. Foster-to-Adopt programs allow concerned adopters to trial integration with current household cats before finalizing adoption commitments.
Reviewers consistently praise the relaxing, enjoyable experience with well-cared-for, relaxed, playful cats reflecting genuine comfort. Adopters report positive post-adoption follow-up support and honest disclosure about cat histories, including feral backgrounds and anxiety tendencies. Staff receive recognition for addressing anxious adopter questions multiple times following adoption and providing genuine, caring guidance throughout the process. One adopter noted their previously-feral, anxious cat became their constant companion despite behavioral challenges, representing perfect personality compatibility. Visitors appreciate hosting of fun events and high-quality cat care evident in resident contentment. The combination of excellent adoption vetting, foster-to-adopt options, post-adoption follow-up, genuine animal welfare commitment, and accessible cat interaction creates a beloved Chester County destination.
