Cat Cafes Nearby
The Bubble Cat Cafe
Denton, Texas14 mi / 22 km
The Bubble Cat Cafe is a cat lounge on South Mayhill Road in Denton and the city's first cat cafe. Owned by August Wooten and both women-owned and queer-owned, it opened on June 12, 2026, after several years of setbacks. Its cats, about a dozen at a time, come from Texas Pawprints, a Dallas-based rescue, and all of them can be adopted, with adoption fees going to the rescue. Visits are booked online in advance, and walk-ins are taken only when there is space. Prepackaged snacks and drinks are sold, and boba tea is planned. The lounge is closed on Mondays and takes a one-hour break from 2 to 3 PM.
Whiskers and Soda Cat Cafe
Dallas, Texas20 mi / 32 km
Whiskers and Soda is a cat cafe on Garland Road near White Rock Lake in East Dallas. Rob and Caroline Stovall opened it in March 2023 to support A Voice For All Paws, the nonprofit rescue whose cats live there, usually about 15 adults plus kittens in a separate Kitten Tree Room, all vetted and available for adoption. Walk-in rates are $16 an hour for adults and $8 for children, with additional hours at half price; walk-ins depend on space, so reservations are recommended, and monthly members can book further ahead at lower rates. The coffee bar serves cat-named drinks such as the Cappurrccino along with pastries and snacks. House rules ask guests to let the cats approach them, keep shoes off or wear covers, keep noise down and avoid camera flash, and children under 6 must be supervised. Adoptions require an indoor-only home with no declawing. Its sister business, Griffin Rock Cat Retreat, offers cat boarding in the same building. It is closed on Mondays.
