I came here with my 4 year old son because we needed some cat therapy (our family cat passed away a few months ago and we miss her terribly). This cat cafe is super cute! There are a lot of cats (there must have been 15-20 that I saw. They are hidden all over the place - there are so many nooks all over the place for them to go! A lot of the kitties were napping, but there were a few who were down to play. They all seemed very sweet and didn't mind us petting them. Logistical details: there is a small parking lot outside the cafe where you can park. Don't pay for parking since it can be validated in the cafe! Drinks are not included in the price, but you can order coffee drinks from the cafe and they will bring them into the main cat room when they are ready. read more

I recently visited the Cat Cafe, looking to adopt my first cat. Well I found him (or he found me)! The cafe has a very nice welcoming vibe. It's clean, cozy, cute and the cats seem happy to be there. I applied for and adopted Brooklyn. Carrie called me for the interview and virtual home walk through. She was wonderful. Carrie listened to my story and told me a lot about Brooklyn. I appreciated learning the detailed history and personality of my new friend. Everything went well and I truly appreciate the Phoenix Cat Cafe for providing this opportunity to me and I'm sure countless other people and cats. I love my new buddy read more

PHX Cat Cafe - Brooklyn the cat. - Pet Adoption Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cutest cat cafe in Phoenix. We came for the cats and left with coffee. They have around 25 cats for adoption I think they said. The day we visited, they were booked for children's birthday parties. Great idea! The coffee and tea were great. Staff was friendly and informative. We'll be back. read more

This is such a fun place to go and pet sweet kitties. They have a coffee bar and over 20 cats at a time that they rescue from the community. Best part is all cats are available for adoption. The staff knows all there names and is so knowledgeable about all the cats likes and dislikes. Make sure you make a reservation! read more

Today my boyfriend and I visited this cat cafe for the second time and fell in love with it all over again!! The staff were super sweet and genuine, we were a tad bit late but they still let us in. I ordered a matcha with oat milk and cane sugar, it tasted very authentic. Loved it so much and it is honestly one of my top places to go to for a date!! read more

Visiting from California, we were so stoked to spend an hour at the Cat Cafe! I wish we had something like this here! We got a "CatPuccino" and an "Ameowicano" from the cafe (they also have a Caramel Meowcchiato). During the hour, lots of the cats were sleeping while we enjoyed our coffees at a table, but there were a few running around. About 1/2 hour in, it was feeding time, so of course all the kitties were up and about. I loved it! read more

My daughter wanted to visit here for her birthday so we planned on advance and made reservations. The cafe part was very good. However we all felt very micromanaged and as most of the cats were sleeping and we can't disturb a sleeping cat it was a lot of sitting around doing nothing, which most of the other patrons were also doing. I have worked as a veterinarian for the Humane Society and understand Fear free handling but being told to watch out for a cat laying a foot from my actual foot was a little overbearing. I was aware the cat was there. I understand the need for guidance but this was two hours out our day between the drive and hour spent there. Letting people know the interaction may be limited would be helpful. We went home and played with our foster kittens instead. read more

We were looking for a place to have breakfast and happen to spot this place. While they don't serve food the coffee selection looks great. We ended up going elsewhere but the staff here was friendly and kittens are cute. read more

I found another cat café while on my travels-hurray!! I'm loving this trend of adoptable cats being housed in fun coffee shops where patrons pay a fee to visit and can sip on a drink while entertaining the cats. It's a win-win really! You pay $18 per person (even children) per hour. You can order drinks from the counter outside the cat room, then take it in with you and find table or chair to lounge in. Most of the cats are friendly, although there are some with orange collars that may not be too keen on people. Be respectful of all of them, and maybe a little cautious of those with the orange collars. The staff here is friendly and attentive-they care about the safety of the cats and will monitor guest behavior either by walking around the room or observing the cameras. They ask you to abide by the ten cat-commandments listed on the wall before you enter and just overall be cool. Don't pester the cats and they will likely come to you. While walk in's are allowed and accommodated when possible, it's best to make a reservation online. If you are bringing children, reservations are mandatory. read more

Visited the cat café and overall it was a pretty chill experience. The coffee was decent, reasonably priced, and they had lots of different flavor options. Restrooms were available, which was convenient. The cat-petting experience was nice, though when we went around 1 p.m. most of the cats were sleeping or not very playful. There were a couple of staff members around who did micromanage a bit, but it seemed to be for the cats' safety. Overall, a relaxing spot to hang out. read more

Good Coffee. I got the caramel latte on the October special. I really enjoyed it! I saw that you need a reservation to play with the kitties! Alright then. Maybe next time. We saw them through the window and they were adorable! read more

Nestled in the heart of downtown Phoenix this adorable cat cafe is the perfect place to spend an hour and relax with a coffee or meet a potential new fur friend to take home. I highly recommend this cat cafe for its cleanliness, staff and CATS. The kitties were really the stars of the show, I sat down with my tea and waited for them to come to me I had a few curious friends during my hour visit. I will definitely come back!! The adoption costs are very fair. read more

My boba sistah and I planned an outing here with her little one on a Caturday, very appropriate. I'd been about 5 years ago when it was still in Tempe, and I was excited to come back. The café is located on Garfield street, can't get more cat friendly than that, and I was lucky to snag metered parking right in front. We walked in and got in line at the café portion, where you can order drinks and snacks and check in for lounge time. Missy, who runs the cafe, is wonderful and was getting drinks made and people checked in for their reservations. There were at least a dozen, maybe two dozen cats roaming around. Some dozing, others playing and giving cuddles. It's nice to see people come and socialize with the cats and consider adopting them as well. Folks of all ages seem to enjoy their time here and it a nice way to spend an hour. I've always loved the concept of a cat café (catfe) and La Gattara is doing great work finding furever homes for these majestic creatures! Check their website/social media for fun events like yoga, art and bingo. read more

What better way to spend your Caturday than to hang out with some incredibly cool cats? I love the concept of this cat cafe. By paying a nominal fee for an hour you can cuddle and play with frisky felines and also sip on some drinks. Almost all of the cats here are available for adoption and there is one resident cat at the cafe, Charlie Chaplin, who is no stranger to the Limelight as he has his own book published about him that you can read about in the cafe. While reservations are highly recommended, they do accept walk ins if there is enough space. We had reservations for the first hour in the morning and there was a steady influx of people coming here on Saturday after us. After you check in with the hostess, you may opt to get drinks at the cafe where you will place your order. It will be brought to you once you've gone through the rules of interacting with the cats and have gone into the cat lounge. Our main reason for visiting was that my toddler absolutely loves cats so we went here so she could have fun. There were so many cute and spunky cats to observe and play with! There was even one that loved to get exercise on a large wheel, what a character! The rescue people here were so nice and friendly and were great with the kiddo. There was definitely one that I would be tempted to take home with me if it weren't for the fact that I'm allergic (I gotta thank Big Pharma for Zyrtec during this kitteh hour) and we already have way too many pets in the house. The toddler asked when we could go back again right after we got back home. As for the drinks? I had a calico chai, partially because I was feeling like having some tea, I like calico cats, and the drink sounded delicious. It's a chai latte with dark chocolate, white chocolate and caramel. It was way too sweet for me though so maybe I'll opt for something more simple next time. The rescue is independently owned and operated and they work with a lot of TNR (Trap-neuter-release) groups so you might notice some of the cats have tipped ears which indicates at one time they were a stray/feral that was part of the program. Overall it was a purrfect way to spend a weekend morning and we can't wait until we go back! Details: - Make your reservations online - Open since 2017 - Independently owned, woman-owned, non profit rescue - $15 per person per hour - Cat yoga, drag bingo, comedy nights, and paint nights offered in addition to lounge hours - All children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult and every guest must follow the written rules at the cafe as well as verbal instructions given by staff - Every cat in the lounge is spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines and FIV/FELV tested before entering the lounge - Adoption fees are $100-200 depending on the cat - Hand sanitizer is available at the front desk for all guests before they enter - Masks are optional unless noted - Coffee, tea, smoothies, Italian soda and hot chocolate available at the cafe read more

We enjoyed this place very much and got to interact with so many cats and the staff were so nice. You need a reservation and you need to be on time, there cannot be too many people in the place at once for the comfort of the cats. If you are not a cat person or don't understand animals it may be a little disappointing for you. You need to be nice, patient and willing to work for the cats attention. They aren't just going to come up to you and be your best friend. They take a little coaxing. While I believe the place was clean you have to understand this is a place filled with 20 ish cats at any given time. Cats have a little funk to them, there is litter boxes all around, and food. Cats also have accidents from time to time and there may be lingering smells from all these things, which is all fine because this place is helping to get cats adopted and into loving homes. 10/10! read more

PHX Cat Cafe - Kittennnnnnnsssss - Pet Adoption Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A really delightful cafe with drinks, snacks, and, you guessed it, cats! The atmosphere is laid-back, with plenty of places to sit, ramble, and even work - if one wanted or needed to and, apparently, you can rent the space for events! The large space is divided up into smaller spaces, giving patrons and cats plenty of legroom to lounge or wander. The staff is friendly and helpful, and there's even validated parking! I was particularly happy that I got to experience a space like the cafe, a place open for people who don't or can't own pets, but who want some furry interaction from time to time. One can get their fix, so to speak, in a controlled environment that is safe for both cats and patrons alike, and then be about their day. Most of the cats were amenable to being interacted with, and those that didn't want to be touched kept their distance...which is to say the full gamet of cat-like natures and personalities were on display! The PHX Cat Cafe is a excellent way to draw attention to cats that need adopting, while giving people a place to lounge and relax. Cats also get some needed socializing, with humans and other cats, which will increase their chances of being adopted into a forever home. There is an hourly fee of $18/hr, but it's fair for the service offered to us and provided for the cats. The venue was also very clean, no small feat for a space draped in nearly two-dozen cats (and attendant litter boxes)! I hope more places in Arizona open up along similar lines. Oh, and the cat-themed drinks are delicious! read more

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CAFE!! What an amazing concept! La Gattara is a nonprofit rescue that provides a safe environment for patrons to interact with adoptable cats. It gives much needed socialization to the kitties while also allowing people like me to get our cat fix (I have 3 cats... but still). I love that I am helping to support the rescue by purchasing coffee here. They also offer a bunch of cute cat-related items, such as soap, cat toys, cat ears and apparel. It is very clean and the cats have such a great space to play! The cafe also offers fun events including: morning yoga, drag bingo, and paint night. Reserve your time slot on their website to ensure you get a spot during the lounge hours! They accept walk ins but it's best to secure a time just in case it gets busy. I will be back here soon and I'll be taking all of my fellow cat lovers with me! Thanks Missy for running such an amazing establishment for the benefit of the cats. You will always have me as a regular and advocate going forward! read more

Overall, this has been a good place to visit. It was my favorite as I visited as often as I could. However, today it's no longer the same since Missy left. I miss Bunny. Don't take it personal, Carrie, change is difference, and this change was not one I favored. Change may have been necessary. If you're new to this cafe, please don't let my missing 5th star dissuade you. You, hopefully, will love it like I did. Bunny is known by the old-timers. However, I'm sure Missy realizes my 5th star was for Bunny. read more

Visited this Cafe a week ago while in town. We had a great experience. We didn't visit with the cats because reservations were full, but enjoyed coffee. It is clear that this place puts the cats wellbeing first, which is important. Hopefully we'll get a chance to visit again next time we're in Phoenix. read more

Best place I think I have ever been in downtown. The cats come out of there comfort zone once you sit by them. LET THEM COME TO YOU. Now lets talk about the problem. The problem is these parents who think this is a daycare. DO NOT take your kids if they are going to torment these cats. Today a man who had two small children was on his phone majority of the time, allowing his kids to run off and do whatever. The youngest child was literally HITTING this poor tabby with a toy and hand. The cat kept trying to run away while this child ran after this cat. Full on abusing this cat. Throughout the whole 35 minutes of both of us being there, the child abused three cats. I unfortunately was too afraid to get up and say something to staff, thankfully i did after they left. I regret not letting staff know, as these cats deserve better. Replying to the other comments about staff, suck it up. Nicest staff who actually cares about their cats. If your child got scratched from a cat, your child was obviously not listening to the 10 rules and understanding personal space. These cats give signals and warnings PARENTS raise your kids correctly its not that hard. read more

This cat cafe was great. I surprised my boyfriend with a reservation here today and he had a blast. He's been wanting to go to one of these types of cafes for a while. While there is one closer to us, this one looked to be more robust in terms of the cats, food options, toys, etc. The cats looked to be in good health and they were mostly out and about. Their personalities were fun to see as well. Some of them had some attitudes, some liked to hide and sleep, some liked to play, and some liked chasing each other. Both cafe owners were there when we went today and they are amazing. I'm glad to see this business in the area to help get these cute furries a new forever home. Also the cactus blossom tea and cole brew drinks were tasty too. read more

A place to be in the presence of cats...and maybe adopt one if you fall in love. I appreciate that this place was clean! It is recommended by the business to have a reservation. We did not. We went on a Friday early afternoon and were able to pay and go in. I can see how it can get crowded on the weekends so be mindful and make a reservation. Cost is $18/person. Yes, for the first second when I saw the cost I was like "oo pricey" BUT it's to help take care of the cats so i did not hesitate to pay. The space was very nice for the cats. Lots of high places for them to hide and relax. There were definitely a lot of cats, but you wouldn't know it unless you start looking around. There are a handful of cats who were not initially wanting to interact and we respected their space. Eventually some came out and allowed some pets. There were a handful who were happy to be petted. Remember they are cats, and just like us humans, they have our own personalities and bubbles. read more

super disappointed with my experience, the parking adjacent to the business needs to be paid for online and after paying for it they still fined us seventy bucks! the coffee isn't that good and the experience was lackluster. wouldn't try again. read more

PHX Cat Cafe - miss emma - Pet Adoption Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Would come here often with friends. Came with some friends and my daughter. We noticed it wouldn't allow us to buy a child ticket prior so we bought an adult. Come to find out they were at capacity with children. My daughter is more well behaved than most adults but understandable. Ask for a refund and the ladies at the front were extremely robotic and "corporate" like with their response of no refunds or no rain checks. The lady even had the audacity to say "you adults can go" and when we said "so we just leave the child here?" her response was "that's on you". Extremely horrible customer service. Loved and supported this place a lot but will no longer with how rude those ladies were. read more

So glad I found you, cat cafe! I love cats! Almost as much as my daughter! Unfortunately, my husband is allergic so we can't have one of our own. When I found this place online, I was excited to check it out not knowing totally what to expect. Let me tell you, they have exceeded all of my expectations and then some! I've gone twice now, both times reserving my spot online beforehand. The first time, I brought my daughter (then 5) and my niece (11). The vibe is serene and quiet as you don't want to startle any of the felines. Remember, you're entering their home and they don't want things to be rowdy. There's some rules the staff will go over with you and feel free to order a coffee or a snack right when you get there and they will bring it to you when it's ready. I've learned there's a varying number of cats depending on rescues and adoptions happening. But that doesn't mean there's ever a lack! When you first enter the cat's domain, your eyes will dart from one lying in a corner to another walking by you, and one lying on a table and another perched up high on one of the elaborate climbing walls or features. It's truly so wonderful! They have toys available for you to play with any cats that are in the mood, plenty of seating, and lots of purring! The 2nd time we went, it was just my daughter and I and we got to interact with some particularly sweet and social ones. I would keep in mind that cats are not always the most forthcoming so our initial visit, my daughter was slightly disappointed she didn't get to pet as many cats as she had wanted. Our 2nd time though, she had a cat lay on her leg and a couple followed her around and it totally made her day! Bonus, they've done an amazing job decorating and the coffee is really yummy! read more

Highly recommend the cat cafe if you are looking for something to do. Within walking distance of the Phoenix convention center. The cats were sweet. They let us pet them for a few minutes before and after cat yoga. If you're not into yoga and want more cat interaction I would probably book either just the hour visit, or the yoga and a visit! However I was in need of a good stretch so I went with the cat yoga. The instructor was super kind and made this a class that would be good for all levels. The guy who was working there was very kind as well and chatted with me about the cats for a bit. One of the highlights of my trip! read more

I just adopted a cat (Eva) from here during the holidays and I can truly say the process was exceptionally smooth. The staff are so kind and really do a fantastic job caring for the kitties! They are very clear about their policies and have always been polite when I have questions. This is a great place to adopt from or just to visit for a little cat therapy. There are so many sweet cats to play with as long as you respect each cat's boundaries. My personal favorite to order is the iced matcha with lavender. Super yummy! Will definitely be visiting again! read more

I am so grateful that places like this exist in Phoenix. You get to drink coffee and hangout with cats which is already amazing...AND the cats are available for adoption. The money that you spend here goes towards a good cause, saving these cats and giving them a second chance. Every cat is going to have a different personality in here (like all cats/animals), so don't expect all of them to be running up to you, being friendly and hanging out. Just be patient/respectful of their space and some of them will come right up to you. read more

It was just ok. Money grab IMO. There were at least 14 other people in the room during our reservation, and not enough social cats to go around. The place was clean, but if they're charging to visit, they really ought to better limit the number of people allowed in at the same time. read more

Nice clean cafe where you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere and pet the cats. I adopted a sweet kitty

I've been to La Gattara twice- once when they were in Tempe and once in their new Phoenix location. Both times were super fun experiences. Today I went, and ended up going to their old location (so be sure to check you are going to PHOENIX and not TEMPE!! It is not updated in maps yet!). We were 15 minutes late but we were welcomed warmly! There was about 20-25 cats, the volunteer told us they would be getting more shortly! I didn't try any of their drinks this time, but the facility was clean, staff was friendly and the cats were great. Planning on going back for one of their events soon read more

Well, my good gosh and heaven, what an absolute PURRRRRRfect place and idea. Glad it is finally opened. I waited a few years to check it out. The best way to explain it is that you pay 15 dollars, which of course goes to help support saving a kitty cat life. You hang out in a cat day care center for an hour. lol Get a coffee while you are there. It was delish and the coffee names made me laugh. They also have a very small gift shop with cookies and cat themed items like mugs and such. I bought a catnip toy that at present my fur children are fighting over. Best 15 bucks I paid all year. Lower your blood pressure, stress and come in out of the desert heat. Relax and play with some kitties. Had a MEOWvelous time. read more

The Phoenix Cat Cafe was very accommodating to our group of 13-14 year old girls who went as a team bonding event during our volleyball tournament. The cafe is clean, the drinks are good, and the girls had fun petting the cats and hanging out in the lounge room. My daughter ended up finding out she has an allergy while there, and the staff had Benadryl on hand to help her reaction. Added plus - the cafe is a non-profit helping to provide medical care and re-home/adopt out their cats. While cats are definitely not my spirit animal, if they were I would recommend paying a visit to PHX Cat Cafe! read more

It was $18 to play with the cats and then there were only like 7 cats that didn't want play. Also you have to pay an expensive parking fee and you can't just park there and think no one will see because you get a huge ticket of a fine for parking without paying... All to play with some cats, seems expensive just to play with cats that don't really care about playing with you plus they're worn out and tired. read more

My mom and I visited earlier this year. The overall layout was cute! They may have been having a particularly busy week, but it felt like there were too many people in the space. Because of this most of the cats did not want to be bothered. The vibe in general just seemed off. I hope that it was just the week that we were there and that the kitties are happy and healthy! read more

I'm visiting my 90-year old grandma and wanted to take her for an easy outing. We made reservations and came to the cat cafe today and it was wonderful! There was a huge room with over 20 cats. Most were sleeping but there were about 5 who were very active, playing with the toys and exploring the room. There was an employee working in the room and they were so kind and helpful, bringing cats over for my grandma to pet and checking in with us to make sure we were doing ok. They were also talking to everyone about the cats and their personalities. Very informative and very friendly! My grandma was skeptical when I told her we were going to the cat cafe, but by the time we left she was a converted cat person! She had a blast and it was overall a fun experience. I'm very grateful for our time at the cat cafe and highly recommend this for anyone looking for an easy and fun outing, or for anyone looking to adopt a cat. 10/10, highly recommend PHX cat cafe. read more
