Cat Lady Cat Cafe

The Cat Lady Cafe, situated at 401 E. Colfax Ave, Suite 104, in South Bend, Indiana, is a delightful retreat where coffee and adoptable cats create a purr-fect harmony, opened in March 2023 by owner Kim Sult. Partnered with the Humane Society of St. Joseph County, this cozy spot features a cat lounge where guests can spend an hour with fully vetted felines for $11, fostering adoptions while offering a therapeutic escape, alongside a cafe area with free entry to enjoy Bendix Roasters' fresh coffee, lattes (vanilla, caramel, lavender), and light bites. The cafe encourages reservations due to high demand, filling up to 120 visitors daily in its quirky, purple-velvet-furnished lounge packed with toys and climbing towers. Located in the Commerce Center on the East Race with free 2-hour parking, The Cat Lady Cafe also hosts events like Bingo with Cats and pottery painting, blending community fun with its mission to socialize cats and match them with loving homes.
