Paw-don us, but you really should take a second to stare at these fur balls. 🐱

These are some of the cute felines lounging daily at Whiskers & Wine, a new biz in University Heights that offers food, craft beer, wine + specialty cocktails. Stop by and enjoy all of this in the company of adorable adoptables from the animal rescue, Saving One Life.

Here’s how it works: Guests can book a $30cat therapy session” that en-tails 1 hour + 15 minutes with the kitties. While you’re there, order snacks + drinks from the menuahem, peep the themed starters like “Meow Mix,” “Kitten Tots,” and “CharCATerie Board.” If you fall in love with a Whiskers & Wine cat and want to adopt, Saving One Life will help you through the process.

Pro tips: Since cats can get stressed by too many people, the lounge limits the number of guests, so make a reservation.

Plan your visit right meow — 2856 Adams Ave.
