Paws Awhile Cat Cafe
Paws Awhile Cat Cafe is a cat cafe on Macon Road in Perry, about 15 minutes south of Warner Robins, and was the first cat cafe in Middle Georgia when it opened in 2024. It has a cafe side selling drinks, snacks, beer and wine, a corner of cat-themed goods, and a separate cat lounge with adoptable cats that can be watched through large windows. Lounge sessions start on the hour, and pre-paid online booking is strongly recommended because space is limited. Food bought in the cafe can be taken into the lounge, but the cats must not be fed. Regular sessions are for ages 5 and up, with shorter sessions for ages 3 and up on some days. The cats come from the Humane Society of Houston County and several local rescues, and adoptions go through those groups. The lounge can be booked privately for parties.

Atlanta Humane Society Roswell
Roswell, Georgia114 mi / 184 km
Atlanta Humane Society Roswell is a cat adoption and community center on Mansell Road in Roswell, in Atlanta's northern suburbs near GA-400. Opened by the Atlanta Humane Society at the start of 2025, it is set up as a place to hang out as much as a place to adopt: alongside rooms of adoptable cats, there is a coffee bar, free Wi-Fi, a lounge area and a small shop of cat-themed goods, and visitors are welcome to drop in to spend time with the cats whether or not they plan to adopt. Anyone who finds a match can adopt on the spot through the Humane Society's usual process, with the cats already vetted. The center runs frequent free events, from mahjong lessons to dog adoption days, and hosts a weekly low-cost vaccine clinic for cats and dogs on Thursdays. It does not accept animal surrenders.
