Playful Paws Cat Café
Bend, Oregon
Playful Paws Cat Café is a cat lounge on Bend's west side, just off Century Drive and across from The Village Baker. Opened in August 2023, it focuses more on the cats than on food: the front room has a cooler of cold drinks, a few snacks and a shop of cat-themed merchandise, and anyone can watch the cats through the lounge windows. Behind them, around ten or more adoptable cats from Cascade Canine Rescue East and West (CCREW), a Tumalo-based nonprofit, live in a cage-free lounge. Visits are 50-minute sessions for up to eight guests, with a drink included; booking ahead is recommended and walk-ins are taken when space allows. Visitors must be at least 8, children under 12 need an adult, and socks are required. Adoptions are handled by CCREW. The café also hosts monthly events such as Cats on Mats yoga, craft sessions and private parties.
