I LOVE that the cats are adoptable. There are plenty of toys to play with the cats and lots of places are available for the furry friends to get away if they want.
Seating is now plentiful and arranged in ways to allow for conversation while visiting with cats.
I only wish the number of guests visiting with the cats at one time could be reduced. Sometimes, they seem overwhelmed by too many people.
I especially wish there were a minimum age (or maturity) for children. Seeing free-ranging small children run after cats so the cats are running and hiding, is disturbing to me and terrifying for the cats. When the adult chaperones of said children just grab the cats from their hiding spots so they can be chased again, is even more disturbing. It causes stress for all the cats in the room, who then have negative conspecific reactions
I love Gibsons Cat Café! There is nothing like supporting a business that pours their heart into it. The coffee is delicious and they also have a special coffee flavor that is rotated monthly (very cool, in comparison to other places that just rotate seasonally). I can not wait to see this business continue to blossom. They do accept donations of cat food, litter, toys, etc! All of the cats are ‘fixed’, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccines. I couldn’t help but to adopt a cute little girl the last time I was there. Thankful for this business and the love they spread!
Is there anything better to do on a Saturday than drink really good coffee and play with cats?! I don't think so! This place is a gem with an amazing mission. Gibson's also has a small gift shop in the coffee bar area that sells locally made jewelry and other cute gifts. This is a must do! Bring your kids! Also, this would be a wonderful study spot.
I brought my daughter here for a nice little daddy, daughter date. We didn't order any beverages so I can't speak to that. The mission of this place is wonderful, it's an excellent way to interact with felines before adopting them. Unfortunately, the sit in area is a mess. As other posts have said they need a better litter system. There were claw and climb towers everywhere for the cats to relax in but a few were run down and had cat feces stained into them. Even with the two sightly oxidizers in place between you and the boxes, the cat room smelt bad. One of the older cats pawed at my daughter claws out while she was trying to interact with him (this wasn't considered in the review just thought I'd mention it since there was no warnings anywhere that some cats may not be sociable. I understand they are animals and want their own space as much as you or I.) The facility had some water damage from the recent storms, I am also taking that into consideration and not holding it against the place. I've been to a dozen or so other animal cafe's and this one just wasn't as clean as the rest....with that being said the adoption aspect I haven't seen anywhere else and would still highly recommend the cafe if you're interested in adopting a cat. The entry is extremely affordable. I'd highly recommend ownership considers raising entry prices to increase staff and cleanliness.
Absolutely wonderful! I took my daughter in there and she had the time of her life. The kitties are super fun and friendly. I wouldn't consider adopting from anywhere else! For the adults, THE COFFEE IS 🤌🤌🤌
Great experience! We stayed for about 30 minutes and really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere hanging out with the really sweet cats. The great coffee was a bonus. The Santa Claus drink is a must have. Thank you!
I have been several times, and the family who owns this place are incredible people. They have only been open 4 months and have had over 200 cat adoptions! They use local roasted coffee, and they really strive to make connections with their customers. The lounge passes are at a really affordable price and help with the care of the animals. If you are allergic to animals the cats are separate from the coffee side, but people do go in and out of the cat lounge. All in all 10/10 love this place and I do RECOMEND visiting. Also They do cat yoga once a month and 10/10 would do it again. I also live 40 minutes away and will travel here at least once or twice a month.
I came here for a meetup with friends. Both people behind the counter were extremely nice, one of them even gave me 5 cents because I was 5 cents short on my drink. All the cats are wonderful, cute, and most are adoptable! I got the blueberry Luke Skypawker and it was pretty good. Then I got the Fonzie, which is coffee and milk, with milk chocolate and white chocolate mixed in. It was DELICIOUS. My only complaint is that the cat room didn't smell the best, but it's a room filled with cats, so you can't expect all too much. I can't wait to come again sometime, and I HEAVILY recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The cat in the picture is Fonzie, the drink's namesake.

Awesome place to go and relax around cats and kittens. They serve coffee and soda. Cats are separate from the drink side.

Great atmosphere! Great place to play with kitties and get coffee! Coffee and kitties: what more could you ask for?
