Cat cafes have been popping up all over Indianapolis, offering a purr-fect spot to sip a beverage and bask in the company of a feline companion. Here are three popular places to find cat cuddles and coffee around Indy!
Nine Lives Cat Cafe
Visit with some adoptable cats right in the heart of Fountain Square at Nine Lives Cat Cafe. This magical place also serves coffee and other beverages, so it’s a wonderful place to sit, pet some furry creatures, sip on a hot or cold drink, and just relax while you watch felines do their thing. | 1315 Shelby St #1, Indianapolis, ninelivescatcafe.com
Smitten Kitten Cat Cafe
Hamilton County’s first cat café is the purr-fect place to grab a cup of coffee and pet cats — and adopt one, too, as the cafe’s mission is to reduce the number of abandoned and homeless cats in the community. The cat lounge is a safe, cage-free environment for adoptable cats and visitors to interact. They also offer a fun menu of kid-friendly drinks, as well as events like yoga classes with cats. | 7852 E. 96th St., Fishers, smittenkittencatcafe.com
Pawz Pet Cafe
Calling all kitty lovers: Carmel has its first cat cafe! Pawz Pet Cafe is the purrr-fect place to meet and play with cats in a relaxing setting, with an added bonus: they also serve boba and other tasty beverages inside their cozy cafe. Visit with cats in their fun and spacious living area — there is lots of room to spread out on the floor or sit on a couch, or just wander around and peek at the cats doing their own thing. | 481 Gradle Dr., Carmel, pawzpetcafe.com
