Old Town Cat Cafe Plans Ugly Sweater Party This Weekend, if the Kitties Cooperate

(Updated 8:10 a.m. on 12/15/20) If you’re a cat-owner that felt left out by the Barkhaus’ ugly sweater party for dogs, the new Mount Purrnon Cat Cafe and Wine Bar (109 S. Alfred Street) has some purrfect retribution.

The cafe’s cat ugly sweater party is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 19, from 7-9 p.m. The event is planned to include 15-20 cats in positively hideous holiday sweaters. Cookies and milk will be included.

The first hour will be family friendly, with adult tickets at $25 and children tickets at $15. The second hour will be adults only.

The cafe is also planning a trivia night for Thursday, Dec. 17, at 6 p.m. In-person participation is $25 for one hour of gameplay and one hour with the cats, while online participation is $10.
