Here’s what USA Today had to say about each spot:
Frisky Cat Cafe:
“While the 2,000-square-foot cat lounge is perfect for hanging out with a wide array of adoptable cats, the neighboring café is just as charming, with colorful macarons up for grabs alongside boba tea, chai, and a variety of other drinks. Since its opening, Frisky Cat Cafe has successfully found homes for 1,400 cats.”
Witty Whisker Cat Cafe:
“At The Witty Whisker Cat Cafe, guests come face-to-face with all sorts of cuddly cats roaming around the lounge, while dining options span from gourmet grilled cheese to homemade biscuits to strawberry cheesecake.”
Votes can be cast once per day until the polls close on Monday, June 23 at noon ET. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, July 2.
