Hello my loyal humans,
One of the many perks of being The Royal Shop Cat is the free samples from the CATNIP BAR. The servants (I mean staff) get them by the armfuls. I heard them say "organic" and "from the United States". It must mean something good because they tell the customers constantly. There are so many varieties, it's like a candy store for kitties! Valarian, silvervine, leaf & flower, easy to vacuum pellets, and even whole buds are available at the Catnip Bar.
Restocking of the Catnip is my favorite day. I sit right under the human's feet and stare at them with my big green eyes, so they don't forget to drop some for me. Humans are so messy, and that means I usually get extra! Sometimes they even give me a whole bud to eat.
Speaking of eating, did you know that catnip is edible? I found out just the other day, and it is DELISH! When I eat it, it makes me calm and sleepy. I usually take a long nap in my basket in the front window afterwards. I also adore chewing on the stems. The servants mentioned "good for dental care", whatever that means. When I smell it while playing with my favorite catnip stuffed toys, it makes me SPAZZY! I can't help but zip and zoom around the whole store! They also say catnip helps me exercise. They say I should exercise just as much as a dog.
Ew, Gross.
Not sure if your kitty likes the nip as much as I do? Receive a complimentary sample with every purrrr-chase.
Thank you to my loyal fan base for all of the admiration I receive in the front window. I would be nothing without you.
Paws and Purrs,BlueyPs. No, do NOT smoke catnip. You've got your buds, and we kitties have ours. Please don't mix them up.

“The cutiest store for a pet lover and gifting for a pet lover. They also have THE BEST customer service! I have only shopped there on Sundays and they have the friendliest staff and so helpful. I even overheard a training session going on for a new employee and they are spot on how every customer should be treated. Kiddos on finding such great help! I love coming here!”

“My dog and I LOVE this shop. The manager is extremely kind and helpful. They are dog friendly, so I bring my dog in and they let him sample a treat before I buy it so I know he will like it since he is a picky eater. You can do an assortment of treats by the pound. They always have items on sale as well. I highly suggest coming here for your pet supply needs, you won't regret it!”
– Clare
“The owner was in the process of closing up (she'd already locked the door), but opened up so my son and I could browse. She was so nice about it, and we were excited to see the brand of catnip toys our kitty loves. Our kitty is very grateful she stayed open, he's in heaven with his new toys! Thank you!”
– Amy
“One of the nicest pet stores I've ever shopped. The carry wonderful things for fur babies and their people. Their Up Country collars and leashes are beautiful and very high quality. They have all kinds of special pet treats in bulk. Our picky dog loves them. T-shirts, socks, mugs, jewelry...all are incredible. They special ordered items and shipped them to me. We always stop in when in Culpeper!”
– Brenda
“The store has much to offer! from magnets, to coasters, to pet treats, t shirts, green product home cleaners safe for animals are a few of the products I can name from memory. they are always carrying treading items that show how in touch the staff and owner are with social trends and the interests of their customers. the staff is always pleasure and kind, they try to go above and beyond to satisfy all customer needs. if they don't have what your looking for, I wouldn't be surprised if they can quickly order it for you and your items be delivered in a timely fashion. I highly recommend this store! Cool local shop that offers more than just your basic pet needs!”
– Rochelle
One of the coolest shops in town! We loved their inclusive signage, wide variety of gifts for both two legged and four and atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and we found stuff for our pups that we haven’t seen elsewhere. It was fun to just walk around!
- Tylir
This pet boutique offers so many fun things for humans too! They have a wonderful selection of collars, treats, and other dog/cat items but also sell fun gifts for the people who love their animal companions. It's packed with fun gift options at all price ranges. My group and I were excited to see inclusive items available in Culpeper, which definitely improved the downtown vibe. This was our second time in downtown Culpeper for lunch and the first time we explored the shops. I look forward to making this a regular stop when we visit Culpeper's dining options.
