Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Cattiesburg ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​⁠Cafe is a cat cafe on Old Highway 11 in west Hattiesburg, in a small shopping strip next to the Pretty Thrifty thrift store. Opened in 2023 as the city's first cat cafe, it is divided into a self-service area with frozen drinks, coffee, tea, sodas and pre-packaged snacks, and a cat lounge where visitors pay an entry fee to spend time with adoptable cats and a couple of resident cats. The adoptable cats come through the rescue partner Pretty Pittie Committee and are spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated; adopters fill in an application. Walk-ins are welcome without an appointment, and visits can also be booked online. Children under 7 are limited to 30-minute visits with one adult for every two children. The front of the cafe stocks books, records, comics, Pokemon cards and other media, and the cafe sells cat merchandise, hosts parties and runs regular events.

Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​⁠1321 is a cat cafe and small rescue on South 11th Avenue in the Oaks district of Hattiesburg, a few blocks from the University of Southern Mississippi campus. Visitors check in at the front desk, where coffee, water, soft drinks and pre-packaged snacks are sold, and then go into a separate cat room at their booked time. The room holds around 15 adoptable cats and kittens and has a retreat area where the cats can get away from visitors. Visits are charged by the half hour or hour; reservations are encouraged because the room can fill at busy times, and walk-ins are fitted in when possible. Guests are asked not to pick up the cats, to keep voices down and to avoid flash photography. All the cats can be adopted through the cafe's own application process, with spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip included.
