Papa’s Cat Cafe

Papa’s Cat Cafe is exactly as it sounds: it combines coffee, baked treats and cats!

On one side is our cat playroom filled with 20-30 adoptable cats ready to be petted and snuggled, and there’s a small coffeeshop on the other side separated by a dividing wall with a viewing window. It’s the perfect place for midday relaxation, playdates and meeting up with friends. It’s also great for helping children socialize with animals. We accept walk-in visits or reservations, but reservations get a FREE drink.

In addition to our regular visit, you can also participate in special events such as wine night, book club, children’s cat academy, crafting with cats and more!   We have several options for private events rentals.  And, we also have a gift shop filled with cat-themed gifts for the cat lovers in your life.

The cafe is inspired by author Ernest Hemingway, who also loved cats and whose Key West home has more than 50 six-toed cats to this day. The decor of the cafe is inspired by his Key West home, and as such, our cafe promotes all things cats, coffee and books! We are partnered with the local cat rescue group, Boone County Animal Care, who provides our adoptable cats.
