Purrfecto Cat Lounge is a wonderful spot for cat lovers and haters alike! Visiting Austin as a out-of-state foreigner, my friend was pleasantly surprised to see this cafe and wanted to indulge in the experience of surrounding herself with kitties. As a dog lover, I didn't really have my hopes up but all of the cats were very interactive and sat on me constantly trying to get my attention. I really appreciated the staff and how friendly they were handing me over some cats and introducing them to me with their name and personality. 15 minutes with these little creatures are more than enough time and I really enjoyed it despite my low expectations! We also got the meowtcha (matcha drink) and it was pretty pricey and not the best tasting kinda tasting like dirt... but it's for the cats (I guess...) 😅 I would recommend going there mostly for the experience with the cats rather than a cafe. Overall great spot in Austin!

I've been sending my foster kittens to this lounge probably since they opened to be put up for adoption. I have never had any issues with the care they have received. They are well loved and healthy. The cats have plenty of play spaces and areas to nap in. If you're looking for a new baby, check them out. ❤️

I didn’t order any coffee, just a water so I can’t speak to the food, however my boyfriend and I had an amazing time. The staff were so friendly and helpful and told us the rules about being careful with the kitties. Plenty of spots to sit down and cuddle with the cats! It was nap time when we went but one curled up on my lap and it was amazing I never wanted to leave. I love how you can adopt the cats from a rescue, but sadly we couldn’t this time! Would totally recommend coming here, it was a great experience and worth the money. It was around $16 per person for 30 min but it was great!

Oh. My. Goodness. The kittens were all so precious!! I like that they had some general rules to keep the cats safe, and everything seemed very well taken care of. Everything was also free-range and (obviously) hands-on. The drinks weren’t great, but that wasn’t what we were really there for anyway, so it just made for a nice sip-as-you-go sort of thing. All of the cats seemed to be pretty young, and I was surprised that all of them seemed to be happy to be loved on and held as well. They’re all rescues as well, and the adoption process seemed well set up and simple. The staff was great and attentive too. Super highly recommend!

The Lounge is a key player in giving kittens and cats from local partnering rescues a place where they can be visited and adopted. This organization is providing an experience that is much harder to do for brick and mortar shelters. You can meet the adoptable felines, interact with them, ask questions about their history, and submit an application with the adoption agency right then and there. I can’t say enough good things about them, all the kittens we foster go here to find their furever homes.

Purrfecto Cat Lounge was awesome! So many cute cats, a great atmosphere, and the drinks they offer were fantastic. I will definitely be coming back in the future!

What a fantastic idea! This owner is incredibly creative, hardworking and clearly dedicated to the cats care, correct placement and treatment. From the few times, I’ve been there myself and what I’ve heard from friends and family that have also visited, there is not a better place to find your forever cat. Thank you Purrfecto Cat Lounge for creating such a great experience and helping countless cats and kittens.

Great place to hang out with sweet cats and watch them play! The staff is welcoming and takes the time to tell you the stories of the cats (who are all available for adoption). I went a few times as I was looking for a cat to rescue and each time was very pleasant. Tip: Come on a weekday morning and you'll have more alone time with the cats without competing with all the adorable kiddos who come on the weekends. ;-)

Eh, I love all animals and was excited to hear about a cat lounge! So during my day trip to Austin, my friends and I booked a 30 minute session. The cats were adorable, of course, I just didn't enjoy the vibe of the workers. Super strict about picking up the cats, and about your time. I still had time left and they kept walking around looking at the color of my sticker to make sure I'm not over on my time. The good part is that you can adopt a cat from here but I can't see myself going back.

Quite possibly the most disgusting place I've ever visited and the most annoying owner (manager?), too. My partner and I came to visit here just yesterday. Already walking through the main entrance/waiting room (separate from the cat lounge) the stink of cat litter and all of its components hit us like a ton of bricks; very similar to that of a shelter. We were asked if we would like any beverages. Regardless of the putrid smell facilitating the area, there was not a separate glass area to block off the cat visiting center from the beverage station. How did health inspection pass this establishment? Needless to say, nobody around us ordered a drink either. Upon entrance, there were many cute cats who also seemed to have urine-coated fur on their paws. I could only assume the litter box isn't changed often given the smell that was wafting and the condition of these kitties. I saw another review here complaining about the condition in which the cat that they had adopted here had three types of parasites. I could only wonder how, given they had to have all been sharing litterboxes that were left unattended. Pro tip to the owner: invest in a Litter-Robot if you're too lazy to clean up. As for the furniture: hard not to overlook. The bright purple and white blatantly showed cat poop streaks as well as matting from lack of changing them out/washing. And the owner (honestly, I'm assuming her job title just because she acted like she owned the place) ... she ruined our experience by crowding us 24/7 and even let girls before us stay an hour over their time... but was impatient about our stay when we had 5-7 minutes left. Felt hurried out of our time. Another pro-tip: color code your stickers for the time increments instead of walking around and eye-raping your customers to figure out when you are able to kick them out. Guys, just go to Austin Pets Alive and save yourself the hassle and money. If I could put zero stars, I would.

Wow, what a therapeutic experience! As a cat lover, spending time at this cat lounge and playing with the kitties was pure joy. The cats are incredibly cuddly, playful, and friendly--each one has its own sweet personality, making it so much fun to interact with them. The atmosphere is so relaxing and peaceful, and it's the perfect spot to unwind and de-stress. Plus, the best part is that you can actually adopt these adorable cats.

Lots of cute little furballs! Noticed that most of them seemed like they were a year old or younger. Staff are nice and the place is clean.

This was a wonderful visit. Staff clearly explained things to us. The kitties were amazing. They were as sweet as possible. The place smelled clean and well taken care of. There wasn't hair and dander that I would normally expect. We had a great time.

My experience at the Purr-fecto Cat Lounge was absolutely amazing! I'm a college student so as you could probably assume that final season was pretty rough. I was drained and mentally and physically exhausted after everything was done. I decided pretty spontaneously that I would go here as a relaxer. AND let me tell you it did NOT disappoint and it was probably better than i expected. I've always loved cats but because my brother and dad are allergic, I never really got the chance to pet them or even be near them. This lounge was my saving grace because I got to do both while having some delicious sips of matcha. I saw some negative reviews prior to my arrival but I didn't experience or see anything that those reviews had detailed. The service was amazing, all the workers were so nice and friendly. Not to mention the amazing vibe of the place. I loved every minute of it and I wished I purchased the 70 minute option because the 30 minute one seemed to go way too fast for how much I was enjoying it. In my opinion, if you're looking for a destresser, this is the best place to go! I will be coming back!

What a purrfect way to channel your inner cat through fancy stretching (aka yoga). Lights were dimmed and relaxing music played as we did our best to maintain downward dog while the cute kitties pounced and played. Afterwards, we had an opportunity to interact with the kitties. If not already taken, most were available for adoption. Biggest challenge with this class was not going home with another cat!

I booked a private event for my girlfriends with champagne and we had an incredible time loving on the kitties. This was my first time at a cat lounge and I thoroughly enjoyed the setup and decor, but mostly, I enjoyed knowing that this place has been a welcoming sanctuary to cats. I too am an animal lover with an overwhelming love for cats and I always support charities that want to help our voiceless, loveable fur babies. Thank you Lupita for a job well done and keep up the good work. What you are doing is amazing!

We are cat people and we absolutely loved our experience. We'd gone to kitten adoption Yoga Event through Austin Pets Alice and came home with our own Pete the Kitten. This was a similar experience. $15 for 30 minutes was fun. (People should get longer if you actually leave with a cat, imho.) I didn't try the food or drinks because we were too busy herding cats. My daughter and her friend loved it. It was great to learn more about cats from the knowledgeable and friendly staff. And I love all the cat toys and longer options. It's very clean and well organized. It was fun to see a variety of kittens and cats including a Siamese. I will say that we went at 2:20 pm on a Sunday and the cats were done. They were having a Nap Out and at least 8 of them were snoozing. This meant that there were not enough cats left. Nowhere near one per person, for instance. I mean, I can see the cats' perspective. If I were a Purr-fecto Cat I might start a union and demand nap breaks as well. Overall the cats seemed very happy, and I would love to go back.

I love cats, so this was awesome for me. They had kittens running around, and I had such a good time here. The cats, for the most part, seem well. The place was clean, and they seemed to care for cats' well-being. I paid $16 for 30 minutes, but honestly, I could have stayed for the 70 minutes. It isn't really a cafe, tho, as they have drinks but not coffee or baked goods like a regular cafe. I would really love to come back and stay longer this time.

What do you do in Austin on a rainy dreary day? Go to the one and only cat cafe, Purr-fecto Cat Lounge. Warm up with a latte, and some cuddles. You can book your slot online, but I was running errands today and didn't know exactly when I was going to get there. So as a first time person, I walked in and asked if they had slots open for just 30 minutes. And they did. So I booked in person for 30 min, put in my drink order. I was given the run down on how not to pick up and walk with the cats, and not to play rough, and not to rub their bellies, even if they turn over and show their bellies, you must resist. You do need to use their hand sanitizer before going in as well. Cats are just totally chill sleeping. So of course you can't really disturb them. I really didn't interact with the cats, wasn't too many out to play with. So I just sipped my latte and took a few pictures. I mean it was a cool concept, and it was entertaining, but it wasn't like play time. Would I do it again? probably not. Cats were not active. $25.00 for 30 minutes. The cats are adoptable too. I wanted to make sure to mention that. I would imagine that's the soul purr-pose (see what I did there?) of this place. To give these little babies a forever home.

I took my husband and mother-in-law here for a cat bonding experience. We paid $15 for a 30-minute period. They has coffee, tea, and soft drinks for order. We had so much fun. Each cat has a different personality. There were toys and cute Kitty furniture on the walls. The workers were nice and you get the opportunity to adopt cats. The café partners with several rescues to help get the cats and kittens adopted. The decor at this place was also cute. There was a small parking lot to park in.

No food, only drinks. Ambiance was nice very "insta-ish". Like the decor and very clean. Cats were cute but don't think there's enough cats to play with. Maybe it's easier to manage. Drinks were ok but not in house.

The only cat cafe in the Austin area currently. They have timed entry and write your entry time on a sticky label to wear so they know when your time is up. Time flies while you're oohing and aahing over the kitties. It is a cute little open space with plenty of cats, places to sit, and toys. They have a maximum of people allowed in the space at one time and when at capacity it felt a little crowded. You don't get anything other than playtime with your paid entry but they have drinks for purchase when you're inside. The cats were ameowzing!

Great time interacting with kitties here. These kiddos are clearly spoiled and living well here until they get adopted. We had some issues buying tickets online but were able to just walk in for some cat time. If I lived in town and was looking for a cat, this is where I would come. It's a great space to meet some sweet kitties and get to know them before picking out the one who is perfect for you. It's also so enjoyable to see people "chosen" by the cats. We had a great time.

My boyfriend and I stopped by about a month ago and I was so excited to see the cats, but was very disappointed about our experience there. Ad soon as we walked in, the vibes from the manager and employees were off. The manager seemed very disinterested and distracted. It's a very aesthetically pleasing place, however, which seems to cater more towards "influencers" rather than the comfort of the cats or the visitors. During our time there, there were a pair of women who were social media influencers, taking videos of themselves loudly talking while corralling the cats towards them. We booked for 30 mins, and the entire time we hardly got to interact with any of the cats because of the disturbance. The couple that sat next to us had the same experience. The employees didn't seem to care either, which can be problematic when someone comes in looking to meet a potential new family member. When I inquired about a few cats, the manager did not know any information about them and had to refer to paperwork to tell me about the cat, which that alone did not give me any important information if I were to adopt a cat from here. Most importantly, the health condition of some of the cats were less than ideal for adoption. I understand these cats come from rescues and don't have the best background, but regardless, some of these cats that we interacted with were not healthy enough to the point where they should've been considered as 'ready for adoption'. (I used to be a foster coordinator at a local rescue in the panhandle). A few of them were thin, one in particular had crusty eyes and was sneezy. When I asked about this one and his condition, I was rudely met with defensiveness by the manager and was brushed off by her saying "No. He's fine" over and over again. Another cat had clear behavioral issues and was showing signs of distress. She was walking aimlessly nonstop around the place and meowing loudly, occasionally hissing at people. This poor cat was incredibly overstimulated and stressed. You would think that when employees/manager sees this they would remove the cat from the stressful situation. I do think it's a great thing that this place is providing these cats a chance for a forever home, but there are some practices that need to be implemented to ensure the best possible wellbeing of the cats. Needless to say, this was a very disappointing visit for many reasons.

There's no denying that the cats here were adorable - there was a great variety of sizes and breeds and they looked healthy and well-maintained. I have more negatives to say of this place unfortunately. The place itself seemed a little barren and not like the best environment for kitties to be hanging around in. The floor was cement with a few beds for the cats to sleep on and a few blankets here and there. There weren't a ton of toys either for us to play with the cats with - they were all obsessed with this 1 toy (which there was only 1 of) and the rest were brushes and a few catnip items. Staff seemed extremely unenthusiastic - we asked them a few names of the different kittens and they didn't know the names or anything about them really. If I was going to adopt a kitty, I would not have been excited to do it here after walking through the front door. I felt bad for these cats - most were sleeping the entire time (like cats do!!) and getting awoken by people wanting to pet them, especially the tiniest kitten there, who everyone wanted to hold and engage with. It felt weird being there, almost like they were all on display at a zoo for everyone else's enjoyment and it made me sad.

I stumbled across this cute place one day and was pleasantly surprised. It's a place where you can pet and snuggle all the cats you want, order a coffee or whatever from the nearby coffee shop and hangout. A reservation is preferred for $15 for the hour. It's comfy and doesn't smell like a litter box or anything. They do a great job of keeping it clean. When you walk in there's a checkin and then a separate glass door to go in where the cats are. So there's no kitty escaping and the cats are chill. This is a great spot to adopt a cat you connect with. Like a cat orphanage of sorts.

We attended KPOP Night at Purr-fecto Cat Lounge. I will be upfront and honest that I am not a cat person and it felt awkward for me. It was as if I was cheating on my dog. This review is told from the perspective of my 11-year-old who I thought I was raising as a dog person. She enjoyed being able to pet the cats. She was able to pick up some and as well as play with them. She enjoyed watching the cats just roam and lay around. She enjoyed how the employees helped you if you were nervous about picking up the cats. She said overall she had a great time and would go again. Back to me. Since it was KPOP Night they were playing BTS and not going to lie we both enjoyed it. While we were there, we witnessed a pet adoption and watched as they took their first family photos together. The inside is also very instagramable and even though I don't care for cats it was very cute. They had cat loungers all over for the cats as well. I feel if you love cats and like to pet and play with them then this is the place for you.

Cats and tea - my two favorite things! We were ecstatic to find a cat lounge here while visiting that we knew we needed to stop by! Opened in July this year, this open space had a lovely bunch of kitties. They were super friendly and we had many opportunities to interact with the cats there. Of course you need to follow the rules and respect the cats there. A lot of kittens who were playful and adult cats who were so chill. If we lived in the area, I suspect we'd be there every week!

Such a cute place! Nicely decorated inside. The cats were friendly and very sleepy. They liked to cuddle next to you. Staff treated the cats very kindly. Check in was easy and quick. They will tell you all the rules prior to entering. There are also drinks and coffee that you can order here. We didn't try any drinks so can't speak about that. Came for the cats. They were soft, sweet and adorable!! Worth it! You have to book your experience online to reserve a spot prior to coming.

I highly recommend this place if you are a cat lover. I booked a last minute 30 minute session with my partner and we had so much fun! All the cats are extremely sweet, curios, and adorableeee. They do not bite unlike my feline at home. I was able to meet two baby kittens as well and I was absolutely psyched! There are plenty of places for you to sit and different toys to play with the cats. Also there are non alcoholic drinks available for purchase The girl working was also very sweet I didn't get her name though. She was very knowledgeable and kind. She even helped me hold some baby kittens. Overall in my opinion it's one of the best experience money can buy out here!!!

Honestly had a bad experience. We showed up an hour before closing and we're met with a, "Do you have an appointment?" Despite not having one we were still allowed in for a fairly pricy fee. The entire time we were under careful watch by an older woman that constantly made up new rules as we sat and pet the cats. We were not allowed to pick any up but none would come to the bench and the bean bags were not comfortable at all. In the time we were there no other parties showed up so I'm still unsure why the the immediate rude and abruptness came from. It's not really a cafe, they bring drinks in from next door from the way she explained it. And make sure youre out the minute your time ends!

Omg this place was so much fun. I'm not the biggest cat person but this was just what I needed to de stress. They have both kittens and older cats that are ready to be adopted. You get an hour or 30min depending on what you book. They sometimes have walk in availability but it's better to book ahead for the time slot you want. They have a lot of sitting space and fun toys to play with too

This place is so cute! Nicely decorated, and I love the kittens and the cats! The employees are so nice! I did see some people being a little rough with the cats, so the employees might need to oversee the cat handling a bit more, especially when parents bring their kids there and their kids don't really know how to handle cats. They were also amazing to us when someone hit my (parked) car and we had to postpone our appointment slightly. Much appreciated.. Will definitely return!

$15 for 30 minutes of playing with cats. Sodas and tea available. I wish these types of places would limit the number of kids they let inside, if only because kids usually don't know how to treat cats. Can't wait to come back!

Went to this cat café today to get my kitty fix as I had to leave mine home in Florida. Such a nice place everybody was very welcoming. The cats are super well taken care of and just so sweet and you can sit down and they will just play with you and love on you, and it was really just such a good time. There's 30 and 60 minute options. Will definitely go back tomorrow!

This place is simply magical. I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw an ad for Purr-fecto Cat Lounge and noticed it said it's in Austin! Bought two 30-min tickets for myself and my boyfriend to visit during PTO. He was happy to go but didn't think too much of it and definitely though 30 minutes would be absolutely enough time. Well, once we got in there and the kitten started running over, demanding pets and cuddles, and being just the cutest little babies, he was just like oh my goodness haha we will probably book for more time in the future. Mac, one of the orange kittens, especially took a liking to him and we honestly would have adopted goofy, energetic little Mac on the spot if we could. Mac was such a love bug. Also, the black kitten, Bella, was super sweet and cuddly as well. Melted my heart. When we got back home, my boyfriend immediately was like I miss the wrinkly eared kittens haha The kittens were so funny and sweet. Full of energy. Clearly well cared for. The older kitties were also super cute, sleepy, and enjoyed the soft pets while they napped. The place was also just super adorable! Lots of seating and open space for the cats. Toys, nap spots, and areas to climb up were abundant. Plenty of thought went into making the place not only look nice but be comfortable for the cats. And the staff there were very friendly as well! We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back!

Adorably decorated, roomy lounge! Comfortable furniture, plenty of room for the kitties to explore the wall shelves. Halloween décor was on pointe as well! Staff was very personable and let my partner and I in quite a bit early due to arriving early, which was highly appreciated! Pricier than other cat cafés I've been to, but due to getting in early it was about on par with others for time spent x price. Could not find anything on site about coffee, however. Canned and bottled drinks were available though, which was a plus!

What a great cat lounge experience. The owner and her husband were so friendly. The murals are adorable and there are oodles of toys and levels to engage with all the cats. The "Human Litter Box" decor is super cute. We went on New Years Eve and there was a cotton candy lady and it was delicious. Also the holiday decorations were a fun touch. I can't wait to come back again when I'm in town.

This place is super chill and is great for relaxing with some cats. We did a 30 minute session (which went by really fast) and there was a good amount of people in the room (about 15-18 people). The cats had plenty of people to visit which meant some downtime was normal. An abundance of toys and seats! We went next door to grab some coffee because we were early to our appointment. They have a fridge full of other drinks as well.

I had the opportunity to check this place out during their soft opening, as I recently lost a beloved feline companion. It was everything I hoped it would/could be. The coffee part wasn't quite up and running, yet, but there was a great variety of cold beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic) in which to partake while being involved with the purpose/best part of this place.... The cats! There were a lot of adoptable kittens and a few adoptable cats lounging and sleeping and playing with toys that were scattered about. For the humans, there were cozy low chairs and a long wall bench to sit on whilst trying to entice kitty friends to visit/hang out/play. The "cat rangers" greet you at the door to explain the rules on handling the cats (which are all pretty common sense, if you're familiar with being a cat servant). The longer I was there, the more cat amenities I noticed, mostly scratching posts on the walls leading up to safe spaces for the kitties to nap. All in all, I got my kitty fix and, while I'm not ready and I know no one can replace my handsome Mogwai, I'll come back to adopt my next cat when I'm ready. Oh, did I mention that you can adopt the cats? They're from local rescues!

The loveliest of missions, the Cat Lounge allows customers to interact and play with kittens while allowing for the adoption of the cats in need of homes. Open just over a year, the cat has already facilitated over 300 adoptions. You pay for a time slot and sit in the softest and coziest of rooms filled with cat toys and the most adorable cats. Perfect for a calming afternoon, time spent with a friend, or for children. Come support this amazing cause while playing with the most adorable animals.

The check in process was easy. Once they explain the rules, you enter a nice room filled with a bunch of cute cats. The cats were very playful and sweet. There are toys around the room that you can use to play with the cats and get them to come to you. Some cats were more shy but that's to be expected. The younger kittens were really playful and will climb on you! I see myself coming back as I love cats and this is the perfect, affordable place to interact with them.

Took my daughter while we were in town. My husband is allergic to cats, but my child LOVES them. This was a great way for her to get her cat fix! We paid for the 70 min experience, and she asked for more time! There is a variety of different cat personalities... some just lounged and snuggled, while others were quite playful. It wasn't super busy when we went (max 10 people at one time), and there were plenty of cats to interact with. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the cats. You can tell the cats are well cared for, and I will definitely go back when we come back to Austin!

If you give a place with adorable kitties, and a wonderful staff less than a 5, you're a monster. Kidding, well kinda. Seriously, I went with my boyfriend two weekends ago, and I'm still talking about it with friends and colleagues. Make a reservation online (this was the only part that was confusing- I bought one ticket bc the language made it seem like 1 per party, but turns out it's on an individual basis), and arrive 10 mins early to be debriefed on what to expect and ground rules. You can also order coffee during this time, which I definitely recommend the cold brew Once inside there were maybe half a dozen other people, so we didn't feel overly cramped. We also had plenty of time to interact with kitties that wanted to do such. We booked a longer reservation bc I knew I wouldn't want to leave, but you can do shorter ones as well. There were around 12 or 13 cats and kittens total, with a good mix of younger kittens and older adults. The space is very "catified" for the babies with wall walks, lots of chairs (and a couch) to lounge on, tunnels, towers, and tons of toys. I also really appreciated that the staff was pretty hands off unless we asked questions. I did appreciate that she took the time to explain the history of the kitties though when we asked. Price wise, right in line with going to a nice spot for lunch, so I gladly paid it (and would again) I believe I paid $35 for a 70 min visit. I also love love that they post the adoption stories on their Facebook page . I've seen serval of the sweeties we got to meet find their forever homes, which makes my heart so happy! If you're near downtown (or want a fun idea to beat this god awful heat), go see some adorable faces and support a wonderful cause. I am already planning our next visit!

This. Place. Is. Awesome. We visited twice in two weeks - the first time was a birthday get-together for our friend Erin, and we spend a wonderful, snuggly 30 minute slot playing with some affectionate kitties. The lounge is clean and brightly lit, and there's nary a whiff of the litterbox- all the food, water, and kitty facilities are located behind a curtain. What's in the lounge are places to sit, copious amounts of cat toys, and furrniture for the kitties to climb and bask upon. While you're here, you can order some kitty-themed coffee drinks to be brought in for you by one of the staff- I'm not a coffee achiever but my wife certainly loved hers. We had a great time and a very hard time not wanting to take half a dozen kitties home with us. A week later we came back with both our kids. Our son - well, he's a dog person - but our daughter was visited by a little orange tabby boy who jumped into her lap, laid down, and started purring. He stayed in her lap almost our entire visit, when he did get up, he nuzzled my wife, my son, and myself. The want chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. So... we weren't actually in the market for another pet. We have two kitties and two puppers already. But this wonderful, snuggly little boy and my daughter Kaylee bonded immediately. She talked about him all the way home. It was fate. We filled out an adoption application - and let me tell you, they make sure you're going to take good care of their kitties - and we waited. We got approved, and were told when we could pick up our little boy. Back to South Austin (we live in Round Rock) and we got to meet our furry adoptee - and he walked right into our cat carrier all by himself. We had to coax him back out to take a picture for Purr-Fecto's adoption album. A few moments later and we were off to his forever home. He was so calm and cool during our long, traffic-ridden ride back up Mopac to Round Rock. He's been here for a little over a day now, and he's been snuggly and playful with all of us - though he's still yet to mix with his new furry brother and sisters. We'll take it slow and easy with that - we're old hands at this. Me? I was thinking after we lost our German Shepherd Duke back in September we'd wait a while longer before considering another pet, but our little kitty picked us. He stayed with my wife and I last night to keep him sequestered from the other pets until they get used to each other's scent, and he picked me to snuggle up with. He curled up between my knees and purred the night away. I think he's already pretty happy here - and we're happy to have him. We heartily recommend Purr-Fecto Cat Lounge. Well, three out of four of us do - my son thinks there should be a puppy lounge. And maybe there should. But as much as he wants to say he's a dog person - I caught him snuggling our new fur baby when he thought we weren't paying attention.

My review is more geared to people who end up adopting a cat from this cat lounge. My visit was nice. We booked a 70 minute visit since 30 seemed too short. And it was. When the made the call for the 30 minute crew it was like they were barely there. A lot of cats were either asleep or hidden. Only four were out to actually play with and over time more came out. Luckily we found the one we loved. He purred the moment I held him in my arms and I knew he was mine. The staff is nice and somewhat informative. I asked if it was possible to adopt a cat same day. I was told it's possible. In my case is definitely was not. I filled out an application on Friday. And it's pretty lengthy. Probably took me 15-20 minutes to fill out. I got a text Saturday night almost 24 hours after I filled out the application saying we were approved. And that in another 24 hours I would get an email with next steps. Fuzzy Texan is very easy to work with, Nikki is absolutely great so if your cat is from them you're in good hands. I paid and filled out my application early Monday morning. In the application it said that the cafe would call me. But I remember someone at the cafe telling me to call them so I called to be sure. They informed me they'd call. I honestly didn't like that I paid so far in advance and no one contacted me for days! I have two other pets and both I got the day I paid. So this was very different and kind of scary. $135 is a lot to not know for sure you'll get your pet or not. It would have been nice if the cafe would send me an email or call at least saying I would get the cat they're just getting it ready for me. Sure Fuzzy Texan said it but not the cafe and they're the ones who have the cat. I was on edge for days. Just because I was worried that they might have double booked the cat or something might have happened. I got the call Friday morning so it's been a full week now since filling out the application. The call informed me I could pick up on Sunday. Couldn't do Sunday so we scheduled for Monday. I'm happy to say everything went well. Minus the fact my cat has a patch of missing fur and a cut that no one was aware of apparently. I called at least three times to ask about and no one answered or called back. I contacted Fuzzy Texan who gave me the answer. I just feel the cafe itself should work more on communication for those of us who are adopting. Keeping us in the loop would be nice and helpful. Other than that it's a nice place to visit and play with other cats.

I want to adopt a cat, so my sister thought it would be fun to come here. All of the cats are up for adoption. It was a great experience. You can go for 30 or 70 minutes. We went for 70 minutes. It was plenty of time to get to know all of the cats. I would say there were probably a dozen kittens and a few adult cats. The place has comfy chairs and soft benches around a perimeter kind of circle and then the cats walk around or just plop themselves in resting places near you. They're ready to pet. You can get up and go sit next to any cat you want to. All of the cats were pretty tame and sweet. I am looking for an adult cat, but my niece was in love with cuddling all of the kittens. The staff said they usually have more adult cats this time of year and I can check their website before making another appointment.

I hosted a private Kitten Yoga event at Purr-fecto Cat Lounge, and the event was better than I could have possibly imagined! The staff were very kind and accommodating, and the partnered yoga studio studio, Sukha Yoga, really elevated our experience. Erin was the yoga instructor who came to lead the yoga session, and she was so interactive with all of the attendees! Having the kittens run around during our yoga session along with engaging instruction made for an awesome experience. I'll absolutely be booking again in the future! :)

This place is so clean. All the cats and kittens are so beautiful and playful. If you're in the market for a new family member or just want to play with some cats this place is purrfect!

This is the best place I have ever been to. They kitties were all lovely and very sweet. The building was very clean and there was plenty of room for the cats to have fun as well as a private room only for the cats if they get overwhelmed. This cat immediately came into my lap and spent the whole time with me napping and cuddling. They also have memberships so you can come and support the cats all you want!!!
