Purrfect Day Cat Cafe
Louisville, Kentucky
Purrfect Day Cat Cafe on Bardstown Road in the Highlands opened in August 2018 as Kentucky's first cat cafe. Anyone can stop in at the bar for coffee, tea, wine, beer or cocktails, while time with the cats is booked online in timed sessions; reservations are recommended at weekends, on holidays and in summer. There are two cat areas: a kitten lounge downstairs and an upstairs lounge for adoptable adult cats, expanded in a 2025 renovation. All the cats come from the Kentucky Humane Society, which sets the adoption fees, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped before they arrive. Would-be adopters fill in the Humane Society's interest form, meet the cats during a session and can often take a cat home the same day. The cafe also hosts events and private parties with the cats.
