Such a cute place! Wish they had a couple more food options. But the coffee was very good! The cats are so cute and curious. Definitely a great spot to meet your forever pet.

This is the best hangout spot in downtown plant city! They have so many cute cats in need of love and a safe home; they have a large selection of drinks also! I personally get the caramel cauldron tea with extra of their delicious caramel cold foam! The staff is very friendly and their non-profit message is completely endearing. 100/10

What a neat place! Coffee was really good. I got a pistachio cold brew with almond milk, and I really liked it. You can order a drink (there are non-caffeinated options as well) and then go visit the cats in another room, for $10/person fee. The money goes toward the wellbeing of the cats and adoption fees, and in my opinion it was well worth it. When we visited, many of the cats were sleeping except for AJ (pictured) and Pauley (disinterested in pictures). It was still fun to see them so comfortable and happy there. I love that you can visit the cats with the option of adopting them. I also enjoyed meeting the staff, who clearly care about the cats and finding them good homes. Please stop by, get a drink, and pet some sweet kitties!

Cute little cafe. I had a green tea mixture. I'm not sure what was in it exactly, but it was really good. And I spent 30 minutes in with the kitty cats. Wish I could have brought them all home!

Such a seriously cute place!! Unfortunately we didn't come prepared for the cost to hangout in the adoption center so I wanted to share the details we got today to keep anyone else from being ill-prepared for kitty snuggles. There is a cost for the cuddle time, it is $10 per 30 minutes or $15 for a full hour of feline fun! The cost is to help care for the kitties and is SO worth it! We will be going back very soon to play. However, the coffee bar and pastries looked amazing all on their own! Prices were great and the service was even better! The ladies at this place were beyond welcoming and ever so kind. Can't wait to go visit them again soon!

I’m going to miss this place! It was always lovely to sit down with a delicious cup of tea or coffee and relax with the adorable kitties. Downtown won’t be the same without them!
