Wanted to hang out with some cats for my birthday, so we tried this place out! They were adorable and so well taken care of. It's awesome that they are partnered with a local shelter to help the kitties find furever homes The coffee and treats were also great I just loved the vibe of this place!

I recently visited this cat cafe and had a wonderful time! I ordered a hot cocoa and a banana walnut muffin, and both were absolutely delicious. The cafe had a charming atmosphere, and the cats were adorable—especially the playful kittens. I could easily see myself coming back for another relaxing visit. However, the only downside was that it was quite busy during my visit, and there were a few young children who seemed a bit disruptive to the cats. Some of the kids were chasing them around, which made the cats visibly distressed. One even climbed onto a table and ended up falling over, which was concerning. I feel like the cafe might be better suited for older guests who understand how to interact gently with animals. Overall, a great spot for cat lovers, but best enjoyed during quieter times! These pictures are from my first visit :)

Fun atmosphere to grab a great coffee or a hot cider for an amazing cause to feature adoptable cats in a cat play area. It was fun and relaxful to interact and offer treats to the many cats searching for their furever homes. Highly recommend!

Never been to a cat cafe before and I was NOT disappointed! These cats are very obviously well loved and taken care of and the staff is super friendly. The coffee is great to top it off!

Cute cat Cafe near downtown Columbia! $12 for a whole hour and many cats to pet and play with. As a bonus, they are all adoptable. They also have some board games and books to read and a small cafe menu with drinks and pastries to choose from. A great place for any cat lover to check out!

My family and I went to the cat Cafe mid morning on a Saturday. The service was very personable and quick! I got an americano and my wife got a chai latte, both were very good! Towards the end of the visit, my youngest got a little emotional about leaving. One of the lady's working up front brought her a cat cookie and sticker to help calm her down. This kind of stuff goes a long way with me. I would highly recommend to others looking for a unique experience with little fur babies.
