We were walk-ins and they graciously accommodated us since they had the room. While we waited to see the kittens we enjoyed some great coffee and were able to keep drinking it while we played with the kittens. Playing with the kittens was a treat and we really enjoyed petting them! Thank you very much for letting us walk in. We understand now how important it is to make an appointment first, which we will do the next time we go! read more

Great concept. My daughters 8 and 9 enjoyed it, only downside is it was full of people half way into our scheduled time slot, too many people not enough cats basically. There is no food, but are beverages available for purchase . read more

We spent a Purrfecto Sunday afternoon of cappuccinos, cozy vibes and a room full of kittens :D ! A fantastic cafe for the ultimate serotonin boost! These resident cuties are adoptable if you have the time and a loving home for adoption :) ! The employees are very warm and friendly, and are open to answering any questions you have about any of the cats :) ! Like most cat cafes, there are really only a few drink choices. I didn't see any snack choices. So keep in mind that it is probably best to eat a full meal before coming, especially if you decide to do the longer 70-minute kitty play session instead of the shorter 30-minute session. There are also fun and quirky Kitty headbands, keychains and other merchandise you can purchase to support these adorable kitties :) ! You'll definitely leave this place feeling happier and relieved :) ! Cat therapy is definitely very therapeutic :D ! We came in on a walk-in basis, but had to wait a bit. I would recommend making an appointment ahead of time so you don't have to wait and so you don't risk coming in if certain time slots are completely booked up. A sister location is expected to open eventually in San Antonio :) ! We can't wait :D ! But until then, we'll still visit this location in Austin every now and then ;) ! read more

Everything about this place is a yes. The kitties. The colors. The sereneness. Living in Massachusetts it makes me sad I can't come here often...or get a job here! You have to make a reservation online to see the cats, that part was easy but it took a moment when we actually got there. They lock the doors and I had to call to get let in but once we were in, it was great! So many kitties of all sizes and ages. It's nice and quiet in the facility as well, so it's easy to zen and lock in with the babies. Loved this place so much that it's made me want to start my own facility like this back up here at home read more

A friend of mine talked me into going with her to Purr-fecoto Cat Lounge. She loves cats and I love coffee. I was lured in by the coffee aspect of the visit because I am allergic to cats. I can go about a couple of hours before my throat closes in and my eyes turn bloodshot red from an allergic reaction. Please note that they have drip coffee only. Their mission.."Purrfecto partners with Texas rescues to give adoptable cats an opportunity to find new homes. Just like humans, all cats have different purrsonalities, but they all need love. We have created the perfect environment for them to relax and meow around while they wait to discover their perfect match. We are hoping to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters and increase adoptions. We want to provide homeless cats with 9 lives full of love." Cool concept...you pay $15 for 30 minutes or $30 for 70 minutes to play with a cat in the lounge to determine whether you want to adopt a cat. The space is bright, welcoming and open. It is like a group cat love fest. The lounge has been in business for about 4 years and have had about 1,900 adoptions. My friend did not adopt a cat but she will return. You must make an appointment to visit with the cats. read more

This is a wonderful place! Having fun with the cats is fabulous, and especially great since the money goes towards rescuing more cats. Since they limit the number of people who can be there at once, everyone gets a chance to interact with the cats. Next time I visit Austin, I will definitely be coming back! read more

The facility was nice. I love how they are working to get cats a home. Unfortunatly we were late due to ACL traffic and the place was NOT accomidating at all. They said they were not able to allow us to stay the entire 30 mins as they were booked up for the next time slot. I can understand that it was not their fault I was late so I didnt make any fus while I was there.. However, once we left, we were walked out so the lady could go to lunch. Just say its our break time and we need to close for the hour. Dont come up with a lie when I can check online that I could have bought more time. This was my second time there. I dont think ill be going back. read more

Took le boyfriend for a birthday experience and he love it. We did end up going late in the day, around 5:30p so the cats were sleepy. But other than that it was a great experience. read more

Coffee was great! But I wouldn't really call it a coffee shop. It's more of a cat shelter with the opportunity to order coffee. There's a lot of rules to follow with the cats but they seemed chill overall. Most of the cats were sleeping. They have mainly just kittens. I would say it was fun, but perhaps not for the price. $15 a person for 30 minutes was a bit expensive for this experience. read more

Always fun and great time playing with the kitties. The staff is also informative and friendly!

Keep this in mind while reading this review: I am allergic to cats. A few months ago my wife and I came here to spend some time with cats because we don't have one anymore and my wife loves them. Instantly from the start we knew this was a great idea because all of the cats present were adorable, cuddly, playful and very sleepy. There were a lot of other people in the area with us so it was good to see that all of the cats were able to get some time with all of us, and not just have some cats getting all the praise. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that the drink menu was just ok. It's not bad but I don't think I would get anything from it again only because I spent a lot of time looking after the cats rather than drink my coffee I bought. Over all I can confidently say that coming here was worth the sneezing and itchiness that followed. Then again you should just come here regardless of how your allergies affect you. read more

This was my 3rd time to visit Purr-facto. I love the concept, and the ladies who work there are so kind and so efficient.

Loved playing with the cats. They don't have the boba service/company right now. They seem like they need 1 more employee there. There was one 1 person who seemed like she couldn't do everything. read more

Eh, I love all animals and was excited to hear about a cat lounge! So during my day trip to Austin, my friends and I booked a 30 minute session. The cats were adorable, of course, I just didn't enjoy the vibe of the workers. Super strict about picking up the cats, and about your time. I still had time left and they kept walking around looking at the color of my sticker to make sure I'm not over on my time. The good part is that you can adopt a cat from here but I can't see myself going back. read more

Purr-fecto cat lounge is adorable. It's a great place for a coffee or boba while getting to love on the cutest cats around! First off, they take the cats well being very seriously here. That is awesome! It's super clean and does not smell like it's housing lots of cats. They only allow in a small group at a time so it's not overwhelming to the animals, and gives everyone plenty of time to love on the babies. Definitely check it out if you want some cuddles or are looking for a new fur baby! read more

Purrfecto kitty Cafe is fantastic! What could be more fun than having kitties to play with for 70 minutes?! The store is kept impeccably clean and the kitty guardians are there to help you identify which kitties are most playful but they aren't overbearing at all, just the perfect amount of bearing! I can't wait to schedule another visit. read more

Had a great time visiting the cats, and hopefully found a feline friend to become family!

Such a great experience! The lounge was super clean, and all of the cats were so sweet and well-behaved. I had the chance to meet the owner, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming. They're also amazing with kids! My 4-year-old absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave! I really love what they're doing here. Definitely go support them, spend some time with the kitties, and you might even end up bringing one home read more

My first time at a cat cafe. I guess you have to like cats more than normal. Staff seemed a little on edge but who can blame them, they have probably had to redirect humans and cats all day. The interior was nice. The large 3D printed cat head mounted on the wall was a nice touch and a possible photo op. An awesome thing they offer is adoption for some of the cats. read more

Lots of cute little furballs! Noticed that most of them seemed like they were a year old or younger. Staff are nice and the place is clean. read more

Purr-fecto Cat Lounge - This fool was sleeping on the job but too cute to care. - Animal Shelters Near Me - Austin, Texas

I booked a private event for my girlfriends with champagne and we had an incredible time loving on the kitties. This was my first time at a cat lounge and I thoroughly enjoyed the setup and decor, but mostly, I enjoyed knowing that this place has been a welcoming sanctuary to cats. I too am an animal lover with an overwhelming love for cats and I always support charities that want to help our voiceless, loveable fur babies. Thank you Lupita for a job well done and keep up the good work. What you are doing is amazing! read more

We are cat people and we absolutely loved our experience. We'd gone to kitten adoption Yoga Event through Austin Pets Alice and came home with our own Pete the Kitten. This was a similar experience. $15 for 30 minutes was fun. (People should get longer if you actually leave with a cat, imho.) I didn't try the food or drinks because we were too busy herding cats. My daughter and her friend loved it. It was great to learn more about cats from the knowledgeable and friendly staff. And I love all the cat toys and longer options. It's very clean and well organized. It was fun to see a variety of kittens and cats including a Siamese. I will say that we went at 2:20 pm on a Sunday and the cats were done. They were having a Nap Out and at least 8 of them were snoozing. This meant that there were not enough cats left. Nowhere near one per person, for instance. I mean, I can see the cats' perspective. If I were a Purr-fecto Cat I might start a union and demand nap breaks as well. Overall the cats seemed very happy, and I would love to go back. read more

I took my husband and mother-in-law here for a cat bonding experience. We paid $15 for a 30-minute period. They has coffee, tea, and soft drinks for order. We had so much fun. Each cat has a different personality. There were toys and cute Kitty furniture on the walls. The workers were nice and you get the opportunity to adopt cats. The café partners with several rescues to help get the cats and kittens adopted. The decor at this place was also cute. There was a small parking lot to park in. read more

best cat lounge ever! cats taken care of very well. very friendly staff!!! adopted my first cat here.

With cute kittens chasing toys and sweet cats laying in your lap, how could you go wrong? The staff are wonderful and the lounge is filled with purrfection. This was like an hour of therapy. I highly recommend! read more

Clean space, not too crowded, Cancer very cute and appear well taken care of! Can't wait to come back.

I love cats, so this was awesome for me. They had kittens running around, and I had such a good time here. The cats, for the most part, seem well. The place was clean, and they seemed to care for cats' well-being. I paid $16 for 30 minutes, but honestly, I could have stayed for the 70 minutes. It isn't really a cafe, tho, as they have drinks but not coffee or baked goods like a regular cafe. I would really love to come back and stay longer this time. read more

What do you do in Austin on a rainy dreary day? Go to the one and only cat cafe, Purr-fecto Cat Lounge. Warm up with a latte, and some cuddles. You can book your slot online, but I was running errands today and didn't know exactly when I was going to get there. So as a first time person, I walked in and asked if they had slots open for just 30 minutes. And they did. So I booked in person for 30 min, put in my drink order. I was given the run down on how not to pick up and walk with the cats, and not to play rough, and not to rub their bellies, even if they turn over and show their bellies, you must resist. You do need to use their hand sanitizer before going in as well. Cats are just totally chill sleeping. So of course you can't really disturb them. I really didn't interact with the cats, wasn't too many out to play with. So I just sipped my latte and took a few pictures. I mean it was a cool concept, and it was entertaining, but it wasn't like play time. Would I do it again? probably not. Cats were not active. $25.00 for 30 minutes. The cats are adoptable too. I wanted to make sure to mention that. I would imagine that's the soul purr-pose (see what I did there?) of this place. To give these little babies a forever home. read more
