I took my cat-loving granddaughter to spend an hour with the kitties. Her mother is allergic so it was especially meaningful. After a brief orientation we were able to enjoy the different personalities and ask questions about each cat's background. A basket of toys was made available. As cats do, most wanted to be left alone. Except Mia. She could have been adopted on the spot. But alas Mom...

the drinks and pastries were tasty from what i tried, and the cats were adorable. the barista was super kind, and the staff member working with the cats was very attentive and gave very straightforward and helpful advice on how to interact with each cat in a personal way. was a great time :)

Loved the Cat Cafe, they really care about the cats they have for adoption and can tell you all about their personalities and their histories.

A truly awesome experience. We are big cat lovers so knew we had to visit this place while we were in San Diego. The ticket price includes a drink or snack. They have rules (as they should) on how to inhabit the place safely for the cats and yourself. We had no issues following all the rules and neither did anyone else.

Cats came up to us that we could pet and it was a very soothing and rewarding experience.

Love businesses like this that take care of their animals and put their needs first while raising awareness and money for them.

Highly recommend!

The cats are great, the environment was relaxing, and the staff was welcoming and warm. I can tell the owner is really doing this to help get cats adopted, he cares about their well-being.

We came as a family to the Cat Café, we had a great time.
The cats are adorable, well settled, it's clean and welcoming for both animals and humans.
Very well thought out!
Thanks for the San Diego cats, they have two adoptions per week, it’s beautiful :)

Went with a friend during Comic Con weekend. I followed their suggestion and booked in advance - which was fortunate because they were fully booked the day of.

Great space, great cats, and wonderful staff who were very knowledgeable about each cat's different personalities and were able to create a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Love the cause and can't wait to come back again next year.

We had a great visit! The staff is helpful and friendly... and the cats were awesome! Highly recommend (make a reservation if it's a busy time of the year, we went during Comic Con and made a reservation about 3 weeks in advance).

I had a nice time at this cat cafe! It was better than Crumbs & Whiskers in LA, in my opinion. It's smaller and less "Instagram worthy," but the cats seem to be treated better and were generally more active and playful. I liked that a volunteer/staff(?) person stayed in the room with visitors to provide information about the cats and their preferences, plus that also ensures the safety of both the cats and the people. I saw cats getting manhandled by visitors at the last cat cafe I went to and that was a really upsetting experience for both me and the cats, I'm sure. There's a much better, appropriate ratio of humans-to-cats at this place, and true to its name, there's an ACTUAL cafe partitioned off from the cat play area, which makes this the first actual "cat cafe" I've been to. The only disappointing part was that I came hungry because I expected I'd be able to get a bite to eat when I arrived, but the staff person in the cafe told me the online menu is inaccurate and they don't really offer sandwiches or salads or anything like that... Okay, then why don't you take it down? ? There was one sealed plastic container of prepackaged wraps and a couple of pastries, but aside from that, don't expect to actually get anything but drinks here

Spent 50$ to sit in a stuffy room that smelled like urine with 15 others. Very kind employees tho!
