Charlotte Gets a New Cocktail Bar Without a Cocktail Menu | Eater Carolinas

"The Triangle area’s first cat cafe, located on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, occupies two stories and houses 12 adoptable cats in a cage-free lounge where guests can mingle with the animals while purchasing food and drinks. The cats are sourced through a partnership with The Goathouse Refuge of Pittsboro, and the establishment is rolling out coffee, beer, wine, and simple snacks; the full menu has not yet been released." - Katie Toussaint

I adopted a cat from here a few weeks ago. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they genuinely care about the cats. Such a cute set up. The process is not laboring and the fee is reasonable. Pricier than your local shelter but it's for a great cause. The only suggestion I would make as a person being fond of shelter adoptions is to make sure you thoroughly inspect the skin and fur of your cat prior to taking home as a good practice. We are thrilled with our new family member. Say hello to Noah Nicholas

Such a wonderful Cat Cafe and a great experience! The cats are obviously well cared for, the place was very clean, and it was a very relaxed atmosphere to visit the kitties. There were about seven of us in the location, and it never seemed crowded. The person helping at the front desk was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone, and they had a lot of cute things to shop for as well. Would definitely recommend this place!

Such a lovely experience! About a dozen or so cats with plenty of space to spread out, the number of people allowed in a reservation felt right for the space. One cat crawled onto my lap and cuddled with me, which was the sweetest experience. I was surprised that some of the cats I played with were new arrivals that same day - they seemed to be getting comfortable quickly, which I think goes to show how well cared for they are here.

Great place that takes care of cats - and allows people (for a fee) an hour to play with and pet the cats. There were about 9 of them when we went. You can buy drinks and get ice cream when you get in. Some cats wanted to be petted and would purr; others wanted to play and there were many toys. We spent the whole hour and it went by quickly. The cats are meant to be adopted.

Can't recommend this place. While the cats are cute the staff & management weren't upfront about the fact that the cats have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (that's feline herpes virus y'all). They do send adopters home with some l-lysine powder but weren't upfront about the actual issue. They did refund my adoption fee but the fact that they tried to dissuade me from taking my cat to the vet when I noticed the issue & their baffling response to the herpes virus being rampant is not good.

Cat Tales is such a healing experience. Getting to spend time playing with the cats and kittens allows you to tap into that inner child. Also I'm mildly allergic to cats and so can't have one as a pet. Having places like these is amazing. There is a board with all the cats/kittens pictures, names, ages, and fun bits about their personality/history to give you some insight before you go in too. All in all, this was a 12/10 experience!!

What a lovely place!! The cats are so clearly loved and cared for here. Plenty of toys for you to play with them or cozy places to sit and snuggle. I loved getting to spend time with them and feel good knowing the cost of admission is going towards finding them perfect homes.

Always love this place and organization! My husband and I adopted a kitty here a little less that a year ago. Everyone here is wonderful, the place is wonderful! Kitty lovers heaven! Brought my nephews and other family here recently, and we had a wonderful time!
