I took my young grandson and was prepared to take him out immediately if he was too energetic.The staff and the other people that were there we're very kind and helped him have a wonderful time. And I had a wonderful time too.

Found a cat I liked. Did the application night before and got approved. Called and put hold on cat. Meet the cat. Told employee I decide to adopt. He called humane society to get final approval. Waiting a hour. Asked what was taking so long. He said someone else was approved for cat. He says it doesn't happen. So I didn't get cat. Not happy. I spent three hours driving to location and other three hours home. Just really a miscommunication between humane society and kitty Cafe.

I'm going to meet in the middle on my star rating because I USED to love coming here! Every trip to comfort ended with my going next door to get macaroons and a few times playing with the cats. 2 days last week I brought my 4 year old daughter with me and let her play with the cats, the 1st day was perfect! She had SUCH a great time, the 2nd day, there was an older woman sitting in the cat room who was BARKING orders at her. Now, given, i was recording my daughter playing and sending my husband videos(i was on the phone with him), so idk if she assumed i was ignoring my child, but i was not. Seriously, repeatedly telling her to pick a cat bed up off the floor, that the previous day, was on the floor. My daughter really thought she was doing a good deed by putting it back just to have this woman angerly get onto her. Telling her she couldn't play with the cats correctly?! Not to pick up the cat toys. We paid for 30 mins, left after 14. The experience has left an aweful taste is my mouth and I don't believe I'll be returning.To add, we have 4 cats at home. My daughter isn't new to cats

5 stars all the way! I travel quite a bit and enjoy visiting a cat cafe in whatever city I may be in. This is one of the best. I counted 16 cats and they were all so wonderful and social. Tyler, the manager of the cafe, was very kind and greeted us with a warm hello. The cafe menu is quite impressive as is the retail section and it makes you feel good knowing the place is owned by the Humane Society so every dollar benefits the animals. The cat lounge is immaculate with plenty of towers and trees for the cats to climb on and there is a book with info about each kitty should you be looking to adopt. Admission was only $8 for a full hour. Worth every penny and then some!

Absolutely fantastic place to go. Adorable kitties, great service and understanding of little kid mishaps. I had a smoothie, lavender lemon macaroon, and the peanut butter brownie and it was fantastic!!!! If I didn't live in Florida, I'd be here once a week!

Enjoyable half an hour spent with the cats but slightly shocked to pay $6 for my wife myself and my 2 year old. I may be expecting too much but considering the attention span of a 2 year old I thought we may have just paid for the 2 adults. Server was a little surly

It's a great cafe and my partner and I have gone there many times and had a great time. However, I wish there was staff member in the cat room with people, especially when there are children. Last time we walked by the big window to look in, there was a boy who had tied one of the string cat toys very tightly around one of the cat's neck and was dragging the cat by it and picking up another cat by only it's skull. We tried knocking on the window to see if the child's parent/guardian might see and intervene, but the grandparent who was with them just looked at him and didn't say or do anything. It was unsettling to see the cat's treated that way so we have been worried about going back because we are worried we might see the cats handled poorly by the public again. Again the staff has always been so nice and great service every time we go, the only complaint we have is potentially witnessing the cats get mistreated by the public again.

I’ve only been here once, but had an excellent experience. Clean environment for the cats, friendly staff that enforced rules which I appreciate. Age rules and keeping a safe calm environment is important for the cats. It’s their temporary home we are entering and as visitors we should respect that. Thank you for enforcing that.

There are few things that I like more than cat cafes. This one is great. Beverages are spectacular, and don’t even get me started on the cats…. Such a good way to wind down. I am not from Evansville, but I visit every time I’m in town to support their cause.

This was so cute, I love how good the service was and how nice everyone was. The cats are so adorable and sweet, and arguably my favorite part. This place is overall my favorite café.Kid-friendliness: Really nice with the kids, I had so much fun there and I can't wait to go back.
