Nine Lives Cat Cafe

My friend and I decided to come visit today and we had a blast. We came in the morning and the cats were very playful and friendly, but would also snuggle up with you. Be warned that they love to play with shoelaces, ripped jeans, and sweatshirt strings, my friend and I learned that the hard way😂 Great place, great service, I would definitely come back for another visit.

We stopped in on a Sunday morning to have some coffee with cats and kittens. You can book a 30-min or 60-min time slot online for a small fee per person to go into the cat room. Most, not all, of the cats are up for adoption! They also have coffee and tea drinks with a selection of baked goods that you can order. I had a seasonal sakura drink with boba and and brownie; both were good. Also, the interior is full of cat artwork, jewelry and other paraphernalia for sale. It's quite the eclectic collection and a purrfect place to shop for yourself or a fellow cat lover. The cats were so sweet! We played with them and got to pet a lot of them. We had one cat trying to sneak into the kitten room, which was funny😸 I had to catch him. No problems and a great time!

Incredible little-known spot in Fountain Square to enjoy time with cats. They offer a wide selection of teas, coffees, chai, and tea lattes, plus a few baked goods, then an opportunity to enjoy them in the cat rooms for a small fee. The owner/operator is super passionate about caring for the cats, and it's clear in everything she does. They work with several local cat rescues to bring in cats and adopt them out, and have facilitated 1,700+ adoptions to date. The cat rooms are very clean and don't have any bad smells. Kittens are unpredictable, but they're accompanied by several resident adult cats who are friendly and welcoming. There's also a ton of locally-crafted cat- and coffee- themed art available.

Kelly is super friendly and helpful! We had such a great experience. My daughter was looking for a kitten to adopt. I saw an adult cat (4yrs) advertised so we went to see her at Nine Lives Cat Café. She didn’t want to come out and show us who she is though. So we talked with Kelly who described her personality a bit and she also called the foster mom to have us speak with her. My daughter decided to listen to Kelly. We were NOT disappointed! We took her home the following day and she just blossomed. She is a curious little lovebug! Total lap kitty who has attached to my daughter completely. We are totally in love with this little sweetheart! Worth paying the cover fee to spend time with all the kitties!

My family and I didn't try any of the food or beverages but we did enjoy an hour of kittie play and cuddles! The store was very clean and well managed, although the kitties sure keep them on their toes as much as they like to run through their water bowls 😆. We also enjoyed looking at all the cat themed art that was hanging on the walls for sale by local artists. They also have a variety of other items for sale too. We definitely recommend this place for some kittie love. ❤️

If you love coffee, desserts and cats, this is the place for you. It was hot today and I had coffee earlier so I got a strawberry lemonade, it was refreshing! This was my 2 sons and mine’s 1st visit and didn’t know that they had certain times that kids could and couldn’t go in to visit with the cats. Also didn’t know that we had to have a reservation to visit the cats. They don’t have much room for parking, but we parked across the street at Goodwill.
