Upper Keys Humane Society Cat Café
The Upper Keys Humane Society Cat Café is a cat room at the front of the Upper Keys Humane Society, the only no-kill shelter in the Florida Keys, at mile marker 101 on the Overseas Highway in Key Largo. Rather than a separate business, it is the shelter's cage-free cat and kitten area set up as a cafe, where visitors can relax with coffee, tea or water for a donation and play with adoptable cats and kittens, whether or not they plan to adopt. There is a separate room for kittens, a small cat library and cat-themed gifts for sale. All the cats are available for adoption through the humane society, a nonprofit founded in 1972 that runs on donations. The café keeps the shelter's short public hours, mornings from Wednesday to Saturday and a short window on Sunday, so check before driving down.
