Purrfect Day Cat Cafe Louisville

Purrfect Day Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky, situated at 1741 Bardstown Road, is the state’s original cat café, opened in August 2018 as the flagship location of this innovative concept. Combining a lively café with an adoption lounge, it offers guests the chance to enjoy locally roasted coffee, craft beers, “meow-mosas,” or wine while interacting with adoptable cats from shelters like the Kentucky Humane Society and Alley Cat Advocates. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM, the café charges $12-$15 for hourly lounge sessions (reservations encouraged), hosting up to 18 visitors amid 20-30 cats—all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and adoptable for $120, complete with a vet voucher and 30-day insurance. Pioneered by Chuck Patton, this location has driven over 10,000 adoptions across the brand, donating over $110,000 to shelter partners, and enhances the experience with events like “Purrs and Paws” yoga or private rentals, creating a dynamic space that champions feline welfare and community engagement in the Highlands neighborhood.
