The Chatty Cat Cafe

The Chatty Cat Cafe, located in Zanesville, Ohio, is a heartwarming blend of a bustling coffee shop and a foster home for adoptable rescue cats, founded in 2022 by an animal lover whose journey began with her first cat, Kit-Kat. Partnering with local rescues like Rural Ohio Cats and Kittens (ROCK) and PAWS of Muskingum County, the cafe offers a cozy space where guests can enjoy a full menu of espresso-based drinks, vibrant popping boba, smoothies, and tasty snacks like sandwiches and sweets, all available for delivery via DoorDash. Open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors can reserve time in the separate cat lounge—home to fully vetted, spayed/neutered cats—for a relaxing session of play and cuddles, with adoption applications available for those who fall in love. Hosting community events like cat yoga and painting with cats, supported through Patreon, this must-visit spot combines caffeine with a cause, creating a joyful environment where every sip and snuggle helps give rescue cats a second chance at a forever home.z
