The Cat's Closet

The Cat's Closet is a unique establishment in Bloomington, Indiana, blending a cat lounge with a vintage clothing shop. This innovative space serves dual purposes: it provides a safe, welcoming environment for adoptable cats to roam freely, simulating a home setting, while also offering a curated selection of high-quality, affordable secondhand fashion. Partnered with the Monroe County Humane Society, all cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and available for adoption pending approval, making it a hub for cat lovers and those looking to give cats a forever home. The vintage shop, launched in 2021, caters to all sizes, genders, and budgets, featuring eclectic pieces like t-shirts, sweatshirts, and denim, with a mission to promote sustainable fashion. Black- and Queer-owned, The Cat's Closet welcomes everyone from seasoned cat enthusiasts to curious newcomers, and appointments for the cat lounge are encouraged to manage visitor flow.
