Cat Cafes in Harrison, Arkansas

Harrison, Arkansas

Beans & Whiskers is a coffee shop and cat lounge on Capps Road in Harrison, in the Arkansas Ozarks. The family and veteran-owned business specializes in freshly made churros and espresso drinks, and it fosters cats for the local humane society in a separate lounge furnished with couches and tables. A small fee applies for time in the cat lounge, which helps socialize the cats for adoption, and all the lounge cats are available to adopt; dozens have found homes since the cafe opened. Kittens are often in residence. The business also aims to provide employment for people on the autism spectrum. Beyond regular visits, it hosts occasional all-levels yoga classes in the lounge with the cats roaming, and it can be booked for birthday parties.
