Guided by Shannon from The Citrine Ghost, the one-hour journey promises an evening filled with intrigue and suspense.

Proceeds from the event go directly to support the nonprofit mission of the Catnip Café, ensuring the care of its beloved kitties.
An Edgar Allen Poe Tea Experience in Plant City
Then, on October 6, the Café will host the Edgar Allan Poe Tea Experience, with reservations available at 12pm, 1:30pm, 3pm, and 4:30pm. For $55 per person, guests will enjoy a haunting afternoon tea featuring two pourings paired with sweet and savory delights. To set the mood, dramatic readings of Poe’s greatest works will take place at every sitting. In honor of Poe’s famous feline companion, Cattarina, each guest will also receive a pass to visit the Café’s own mews-filled lounge. This event is suitable for Poe fans ages 12 and up, and advance tickets are required.
Both events promise an unforgettable combination of history, mystery, and feline charm, while supporting a great cause.
