So cute!! Every kitty there was very sociable (with people at least, haha) and they had lots of great toys, cat trees, beds, cardboard scratchers, places to hide if desired... really wonderful to see the thought and consideration put into the kitties' environment and enrichment. The coffee is fine, but who are we kidding, we're really there for the floofers. A lovely touch is that you can buy little crunchy treats and squeezy tube treats to feed to the kitties! Amazing way to give them lots of positive associations with humans, and encourage positive interactions. The staff are very kind and friendly as well. Absolutely would recommend.

What a great little place. I happened to be in Carmel, IN and popped in. Very family friendly, clean and had a good selection of drinks. Vivian served me and she was so knowledgeable and very nice. I’m not much of a cat guy, but everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Small, cute, Kitty paradise. The cat tree was awesome. We left with a loving kitty, (already did the application and got approval before visiting.

I saw a flyer at the pet store, it was close by so I had to check it out ! It's still in development, so it feels a little empty and lacks character. I tried the blood orange soda and it wasn't too sweet and was refreshing. It costs $10 for 30 mins with the cats, it's plenty of time. You'll spend about $15-$20 average I think. The cats are Soo cute and it's a sweet place. I will certainly come back ! I think it's an effective way of getting cats loving homes !

Such a fun place to visit! Stacia was so helpful, kind, and made some accommodations for one of our drinks :) the cats were so sweet, and were able to pet and spend time with quite a few. Lisa was also so very welcoming, and helpful! Will definitely be back again!!!

The cats were super cute, talkative, and friendly. I ordered a drink with tapioca, but received nothing and my partner ordered a drink with strawberry popping boba but the staff said they were out and substituted it with peach (which he hates) without asking him. I wish there were more pet beds and comfortable areas for the cats to lay on. Almost all of them were lying on one of the only small rugs they had. Overall, the place is nice just oddly located in a warehouse type building, not really a cozy space for a cat lounge. The man in the actual cat room was nice and helped us with a small drink spill.

I stopped in to check out Pawz Pet Cafe. They are still in their opening stages but I was impressed with the cat apparatuses they have for sale. You can adopt a cat and leave with all the goods. I was especially impressed with the organic kitty litter they have for sale. I’d definitely purchase that if/when we adopted a kitty. Then I walked into the cafe portion. I ordered a milk boba tea. It wasn’t too sweet. But they have tons of drink options and all reasonably priced. Then I made my way into the kitty room. The set up is so cool! I was making a mental wishlist of things I wanted to get for my future kitty. All of the cats there are super sweet and there is a booklet to learn more about each kitty available. You do not need a reservation but it is advised. It’s $10 for 30 minutes to enjoy a drink and get to know some cats. I can’t wait to take my boys soon.

My friend and I went to this cafe and we had a blast! They sell very affordable cat/dog supplies and delicious boba drinks. We also had a great experience with the staff! Everyone was very friendly and open to answering our slew of questions. They had over 20 cats of all different varieties. You can also tell how much they care for all the kitties. Overall, I would definitely recommend if you’re looking to adopt or just for a serotonin boost. We'll definitely be back!!
