The Lotus Catfe, tucked away in Alabaster, Alabama, is a multifaceted haven that intertwines feline companionship, yoga, and spiritual exploration, opened on April 15, 2023, by co-owners Nicole Jacobson and her daughter Skye. This unique cafe features a cat lounge where guests can spend an hour with adoptable cats from Shelby Humane for $10, including a complimentary single-serve coffee, tea, or cold beverage, fostering a clean and cozy space for snuggles and potential adoptions. Skye, a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and Reiki master, leads beginner-friendly classes—priced at $10 each or available via monthly/yearly passes—incorporating tools like yoga wheels, straps, and bolsters, with special offerings like cat yoga on Saturdays and tailored sessions for bigger bodies to ensure inclusivity. Open Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the cafe also provides angel card readings ($40 for 30 minutes or $70 for an hour), a shop with books, crystals, and tarot cards, and family-friendly events like Kitty Kat story time, creating a welcoming sanctuary where visitors can relax, connect with cats, and embrace wellness in a judgment-free environment.
