The family had a great time!
Adopt don't shop 😺 keep in mind the kitties see people all day so if you go later in the day they might be done with being pet or trying to nap
Wonderful atmosphere with wonderful staff and wonderful kitties. It’s a very affordable place to go with friends or solo! Although I’ve never ordered any food, my friend got a hot chocolate and loved it. I’ll never get tired of visiting this gem.
I wanted to take all the cats home with me 😭😭 the best place for a celebration <3
Cats are cute and fluffy🤗
we had the best time here! for a decent price, we got to see so many cats and we ended up getting the whole room to ourselves. the staff were incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and warm. we ended up falling in love with one of the cats and we adopted her! everyone was so excited for us and it was an easy process. we loved it here!
This place is soo cute. I love it!!! Definitely will come back, if I want to adopt again. You don't have to adopt either, that's fine, it still a great way to see some cats while having a drink. I'm sure the cats love the attention, nevertheless.
This wonderful little spot in downtown Gainesville is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys feline companionship. The staff are friendly, the hot chocolates are tasty, and the cats are absolutely delightful.
Best place to learn what cat someone will like and the coffee is amazing. Good place to do homework too.
Came all the way here on a Friday afternoon because it said they were open on those days and they were closed. Please be honest with when you're open so you dont waste everybody's time and Effort to get there.
Everyone was incredibly friendly! We loved spending time with the cats and even adopted one after being there. They made the adoption process super easy and we went home with the cat we liked the same day.
Lots of cats to play with. Most were friendly and walked right up to you. Did get a couple scratches but cats will be cats.
I’ve been here before and had a nice time, so my friends and I decided to return. I understand that if you go in their closing hour then the cats will be less energetic from a long day of socializing, but all the cats they have currently are either incredibly fearful of people or downright aggressive. I have owned cats my entire life, I know how to navigate cat moods. But there is one cat there that should NOT be in this environment. She would aggressively follow and swat at me and bit both me and my friend. I actively tried to disengage, but she continued to follow me and growl at me. We complained to the staff there and one of them laughed in our faces and said “yeah that sounds about right”. I know for a fact this cat has been in the cafe for a few weeks, since she’s been on the humane society’s website for a while. She shouldn’t be in this environment, since it’s unsafe for both the cat and the customers.
I have come to this location a few times previously and had a good experience, but make sure you don’t go any time later in the day, as there will be very few cats! They used to have a policy where adopted cats would not be picked up until after they close, but clearly they don’t do that anymore, as there were very few cats, and I saw someone pick up one of the cats while they were still open. Also, more important, they have cats there that are not suitable for a cat cafe. Cat cafes should have cats that are not excessively fearful or cats that are AGGRESSIVE. Most of the cats there were fearful of people, and there was a cat that was actively aggressive; it kept following my friend and growling, and it bit both my friend and me. My friend was worried they would be genuinely attacked with how aggressive the cat was. When I told the staff about this, they laughed and said that “sounds about right.” That cat should be kept at the humane society where it came from instead of a cat cafe!! That’s unfair to the cat AND the customers. I don’t know why they would be ok putting their customers and cats at risk. Keep in mind, I am not someone who leaves low reviews, but this is a definite safety risk that you should be aware of.
Small and cozy. The cafe has a chill vibe and the cats were playful and friendly.
Worth every minute! I went with some of my friends and it was such a great time. All of the cats were so friendly and sweet. I definitely plan to visit again sometime!
My husband and I like cats and always wanted to go to a cat café so we took a chance on this local one. We pre-booked a 7pm 30-min slot on Sunday for both of us, $10 admission each. Lots of empty space for guests to walk around in the café. It was quiet for a Sunday night. Cat room was another story - 4 other people were with us enjoying the cats. Supposedly there were 12 cats, but only 6 were interactive. 3 were sleeping or drowsy and 3 were a bit on the antisocial side. The Cat Room itself was OK as in it's better than having the cats caged, but it could be better maintained and stocked with working, enjoyable toys for the cattos. Didn't even see any catnip twine balls. They do offer the option to borrow a laser pointer from the front desk, which one of the guests made use of to make friends with a few of the cats. My husband and I entertained the cats with ribbon and a catnip toy on a stick. Ok place if you are a cat person and know how to have fun with these opinionated felines, but if you aren't, the cats won't interact with you on your own. Sidenote; Liability waiver required to e-sign before going in the Cat Room. Knew about this ahead of time from the appointment booking online.
Enjoyed the visit! Kitties were engaging and witnessed someone come in and pick up their fur baby that they adopted...sweet!🐱
Had fun! We actually went back a week later! Great place to adopt a cat.
I love this place! Its has a great atmosphere and owners are so nice. They really care about the kitties and it shows!
