Tortitude Cat Café
Paducah, Kentucky
Tortitude Cat Café is a cat cafe on New Holt Road on the west side of Paducah, and the only cat cafe in Western Kentucky. It opened in September 2024. The cafe acts as a foster home for 15 to 20 vetted cats and kittens from its rescue partners Catt's Cats, All About The Cats, Jackson Purchase Forgotten Felines and Huntingdon TNR, and the cats roam freely in the lounge. Guests buy drinks and packaged snacks in the front shop, which also sells gifts, and can take snacks into the lounge. The number of guests in the lounge is limited, so reservations are encouraged and walk-ins cannot always be fitted in. Everyone signs a waiver. All the cats can be adopted, and kittens go home only once they are at least 14 weeks old, spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated. The cafe welcomes donations of toys, food and litter.
