TIME SPENT WITH CATS IS NEVER WASTED
What is a cat café?
Our café is a nonprofit cat and kitten rescue. We have added café to our cat and kitten lounges to create cat and kitten experiences for all to enjoy, both humans and felines alike.
Our lounges are filled with furry cat and kitten residents waiting for you to meet or adopt them. Our $12 – $14 donation per person per hour gives you a friendly cat and kitten experience while funding our cozy environment plus providing all of the medical care for the cat and kitten residents. This unique therapeutic experience is for both the cat lover and the kitties. It sustains a stimulating and comfortable home for lovable homeless cats and kittens until they are adopted. Without your donation, we just could not save nearly as many animals.
The café is a separate space from our cat and kitten lounges. You may spend time in our cat lounge and kitten lounges with your treats and beverages or have complete view of our playful resident cats from the café window.
Your $12 - $14 Visit is a Donation to
Small Lives Matter Kitten Rescue

Super cute
What impressed us most was how well the cats and kittens are cared for. You can tell this isn’t just a cat café—it’s a place where the animals’ well-being is the top purr-iority. The staff clearly has a genuine passion for helping these cats live their best nine lives while finding their forever homes.
I completely fell in love with a cat named Capone. He definitely stole my heart and committed grand theft affection! If it weren’t for concerns about whether he’d get along with our dog, we would have taken him home in a heartbeat.
Whether you’re looking for a great cup of coffee or a little feline-good therapy, Frisky Cat Cafe is the cat’s meow. We’ll be kitten ourselves if we don’t come back soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐱☕️
Unfortunately, all three of us were scratched to the point of bleeding during our visit. This was extremely concerning, especially because the café advertises that it is open to all ages. If the cats are reacting this way even with calm and gentle children I truly don’t think it should be marketed as appropriate for young kids.
We were also told we could eat inside, so we purchased a cupcake. However, while we were eating, the cats naturally came near us, and the employee kept staring at us in a way that made us feel like we were doing something wrong. It was uncomfortable and awkward, especially since we were simply following the rules that had been explained to us.
What stayed with me most was the emotional impact afterward. The week following our visit, my daughter drew a picture at school of her hand with blood and explained it was from a cat scratch at the café. That really showed me how much the experience affected her.
I’d like to clarify that my children were supervised the entire time and were calm and gentle with the cats. They were not loud or rough as implied.
My daughter was scratched and bleeding, which understandably made her cry, and we were asked to leave the room while she was upset. I was also scratched myself while trying to take a napkin away from a cat that was about to eat it.
I respect the mission of rescuing cats and understand animals can be unpredictable. However, the café advertises that it is open to all ages, so I believe families should be aware that scratches can happen even during calm, supervised visits.
I love spending time with the FeLV cats in the back, it’s what made me a regular. Coming in to find one of your favorite cats has been adopted is both sad but also so exciting because you know there was a good process that made sure they went to the right person.
As with any cat cafe- there are rules you have to follow. It’s for your safety and the cats well being. It’s one of my favorite places to be 🥰 highly recommend stopping by for a visit. And hope you come back for more visits (like I have)
If you are having a bad day and you want a relaxing distraction from the stresses of life visit the Frisky Cat Cafe once.
Then you will be hooked and what a great habit this could become! You are doing something calming for your nerves and helping a fantastic cause.
And if you are considering adoption but are not sure if a cat is for you, plan a visit, you won’t regret it!
Second visit was as sweet at the first. Thank you volunteers for taking such good care of the kitties!
