Comfort & Joy Cat Cafe
Comfort & Joy Cat Cafe is a cat cafe on South Nevada Avenue at the south end of downtown Colorado Springs, opened in September 2024. It fosters about eight adoptable cats at a time from Teller County Regional Animal Shelter and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region, and works on socializing them and on litter-box and scratching-post habits before they go to new homes; cats are adopted on a first-come basis. Visits to the cat lounge are booked as 50-minute sessions, and shorter half-hour sessions are sold to walk-ins when there is space. The cafe is often sold out, so booking online, signing the waiver and paying in advance is recommended. Visitors must be at least 7 years old. Coffee, tea and other drinks are served, with free wifi and parking behind the building. Regular events include monthly trivia nights and tarot readings combined with lounge time.
