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.
