The woman who owns this place does not know how to communicate. It's also not a cafe... it's just a room full of underfed cats advertising 'events'. MY good friend adopted 2 cats from here. It was a total hassle, horrible communication. And when we went to visit them before the adoption we were accosted by children at some sort of birthday party. The cats were STRESSED. WE WERE STRESSED. They scheduled our meeting with a birthday party for some young kids who were just flicking cat toys in our face and all the cats faces and running around so we couldn't interact like we would have hoped too. When we went to pick the boys up finally( 2 brothers who we were told wereNOT bonded but absolutely were.. thank goodness we took both)(..There was some sort of 'date' event going on and I had people swarming me constantly while I was trying to connect and CATCH the kitties we were taking home. It was a disaster. The price to adopt both was a Little outrageous as well considering you could tell they were fighting for food.... I appreciate what this woman is doing and please please adopt and don't shop, but be ready to spend some money and be frustrated trying to adopt.... Or even get a coffee from this cat 'CAFE' read more

So many cute cats here, and the price was not bad at all, only $15 per hour. The woman working there was super friendly and you can tell they really care about their cats here. My favorite kitties were goldie, joe, and scout. Their treats and stuff were also very reasonably priced. The whole cafe is well-maintained and pretty clean. The cats here are super friendly too. Would 100% return! read more

My son loves cats. I decided to take him to a cat cafe for his birthday. I did my reservations online which was very easy. When we arrived we were greeted at the door and given a few rules. I had read a previous review about the bad odor and was a little worried. There is a slight order when you first walk in, but it's not unbearable. There are different areas for the cats. There were cats sleeping, other cats walking around, a few that let us pet them. My son enjoyed his time. If you're a cat lover you should visit this cat cafe. read more

I needed a "feline fix " and I had a great time on my first visit, so much so I am volunteering with Saving One Life, who cares for the cats living at the cafe. The cafe itself is nice, the snacks and merch they sell are very reasonably priced and it's just a cool idea and chill environment. I will definitely support the cafe as a business by visiting along side signing up to volunteer to do chores that tend to be done to care for the cats. read more

Support this great kitty adoption center. I was disappointed that it was not like a Japanese Kitty Cafe. However, it is all about the kitties here. Sit at a table or on the floor. Wait for kitties to come to you. They have toys for you to play with them. You have to sign a waiver. Kitties do what kitties do! There is a donation fee to hang out and support the kitties. read more

Fantastic.The ppl working and the owner really care about the pets.I have been there several times.

Such a great place! Came to Phoenix and needed to kill some time before checking into our AirBnB. We had so much fun here! The price is so great and the cats are so cute. We got to play with the standard cats and the FIV+ who were super sweet. Will definitely visit next time we're in the area! read more

Worst cat cafe we have ever visited. There were only a few cats there and they were old and bit if you tried to pet them. The person on duty never tried to help at all. read more

I've visited both this Cat Café and the one in Phoenix, and I honestly prefer this location. The cats here seem much more playful, and there are more cats to pet and potentially adopt. I also really appreciate that they have a separate section for leukemia cats -- I think that's very thoughtful and kind. Unfortunately, I didn't buy any coffee or snacks during my visit, but the experience of simply petting and playing with the cats was beautiful. I especially enjoyed the sectioned-off kittens, who were way more playful. Overall, I would definitely come back again. Two thumbs up. read more

Great place for a small hangout, especially with how it supports a fantastic cause. Volunteers are kind and helpful, and the cats are so sweet too. Definitely recommend. read more

What a fun time my teen daughter and I had here! We are new to the area and looking for things to do when we found Kitty Pause Kitty Cafe. Booked and paid online and it was so simple! The kitty's were so sweet and it was so nice seeing how well cared for they were and how clean they kept everything. We are huge animal lovers and this was the perfect little spot to get to cuddle and pet these adorable cats. I highly recommend them and we are already planning on going back! read more

My boys know me so well! For Mother's Day, they brought me to Kitty Pause Kitty Cafe, and I was in HEAVEN!!!!! It just so happens to be right around the corner from my old house in Chandler, so it was extremely easy to find. This establishment is very clean, and the kitties are very well loved. The owner takes great care of every cat, and she knows their personalities inside and out. You can tell that she has a true love of felines, and that makes her a friend in my book. Although not many cats were on a reachable level, I sincerely every second visiting with my new furry friends. My boys were patient and just enjoyed my pure joy. They are both kitty lovers too, but I am the fanatic! lol I have already told all my cat friends about this place, so hopefully that will bring in even more business. I will continue to shout at the mountaintops, I love Kitty Pause!!!! Thank you for a purrfect Mother's Day! read more

Nice place many friendly kitties. Strong smell of cat food and air refreshener, so bring mask. There are two bathrooms on site, snack and drinks available. I wish they had created a draft of fresh air I understand open windows could lead to kitty escape. All kitties are available for adoption. read more

Found my sweet kitty there. I got and adopted her in January and we are still getting used to each other. Would love it if she would just jump up and sit in my lap. Not yet. Be very patient. read more

We didn't make the reservation right, but they worked us in as a walk in. I had an out of town guest who really wanted to chill at a car cafe between work gigs. The staff was very friendly and the space was clean. read more

Wonderful owner! She is so kind and runs the show all by herself. The cats here are little angels and they're so friendly! I took a date here and when we first talked he really didn't like cats and now he's ready to adopt one from this cafe . I will be returning read more

Visiting from out of town and noticed the sign driving by. I am so glad we went in!!! The staff was super friendly. It's obvious they care a lot for these cats and know them all individually. The inside was clean. There were many places for humans to sit and cats to play and nest. I didn't get the cafe vibe as much- you hear cafe and think espresso machine and baked goods. But they did have water bottles, coffee and small packaged snacks for sale. Patrons seemed to be there just for the cats- not for the work space like a cafe. For 30 minutes of cat time we paid only $7.50 each!!! Also- they adopt out cats. What a lovely afternoon we had with the kitties. Thank you to Kitty Pause Kitty Cafe for the experience. read more

While it's difficult to poorly rate a non-profit, the experience here was somewhat disappointing. I booked an open session online with my granddaughter as she is a huge cat lover, thinking it would be a fun hour to spend together. I chose the option to pay the $30 amount in person since I was using cash. When we arrived at our scheduled time, the man suggested we start with half an hour and could up it to an hour at that time. The fee was still $30! We counted 6 cats, although he kept insisting there were 12, and they really did not interact at all. He actually made us leave exactly 30 minutes after we arrived. I'm not opposed to supporting charities, but this one felt a bit like a bait-and-switch scheme. Please call to clarify the situation before you show up! read more

The cat scratched me. Literally had to pay medical bills. 0 stars if I could. One of the cats was raccoon.

Brought my granddaughter to hang out with the kitties and she had a blast! I was shocked at how loving and friend all the cats were.

I was so pleased to visit Kitty Pause Kitty Cafe! What a delight to see all the cats comfortable and well cared for in this lovely environment. The hostess was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. The variety of cats was interesting. HOw wonderful that they are allowed to be themselves in such a large area with many different things to climb, hang out or even hide. Also they can choose from many different types of toys. Some cats playing together, entertaining themselves, napping or simply observing folks coming to see them. Some cats rushed up to welcome us when we arrived and some waited and walked over later. They even have healthy treats one can purchase in small capsules and give to the cats. I love this place. read more

A casual environment with plenty of sweet furry friends to interact with. All cats are adoptable so it is a great place to visit or to look for a new companion. read more

Myself and my daughters had a fun time with the cats but there was a very strong odor that took a while to adjust to. We went into the FeLV room and that room had no odor at all and the cats were so sweet. read more

Great place! You do need to ask for the coffee & tea but it's cheap & made to your specs. We got to come at feeding time. It was super fun watching all the kitties go crazy prior to receiving their own personal wet treat in a fancy dish. Two kitties were too shy to come down from their ledges so an employee went to great lengths to climb up & present them with their treats. There is also a separate room for kitties that have FeLV. The virus does not survive long on any surface to include hands, so don't forget to play with them if you have time. You just need to wash your hands. And it's not transmissible to other species or to felines who are immunized. Overall, highly recommend this place, either for a cool laid back break from your day or to adopt a furry friend. read more

Had a great time at the cat cafe! The cats were all so sweet and loving. Definitely recommend hanging with their FeLV cats that are in a separate room before you leave. They were the sweetest kitties and just wanted to sit on our laps and get pets. Make sure to bring them treats too! read more

Had a great time at the new and only Cat Cafe in Mesa! Highly recommend going. They have a variety of prepackaged goodies for the humans, treats and toys for the cats, and the most important thing- adoptable cats! The worker was very knowledgeable about cats and clearly cared a lot about their individual needs. Loved the experience and I'm so glad they are combining a fun experience and a worthy cause! read more
