The Smitten Kitten NWA
Fayetteville, Arkansas
The Smitten Kitten NWA is a nonprofit cat cafe on West Sycamore Street in north Fayetteville, a short drive from the University of Arkansas, and calls itself a cat cafe for the underdogs. Its cats are adoptable felines from local rescues and shelters that are often overlooked, such as shy cats, seniors and cats with quirks or special needs. Unlike most cat cafes, one entry fee covers unlimited time during opening hours and includes free coffee and tea; sodas and water are sold, and outside food and drink are welcome. Visitors must be at least 6 years old. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. All cats are fixed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested, and adoption applications are reviewed by each cat's original shelter or rescue. The cafe grew out of the former Purr Catfe in Fayetteville and also holds occasional events such as holiday craft days.
