St Augustine, Florida

The ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌⁠Witty Whisker Cat Cafe is a cat cafe in a Victorian-era house on Old Mission Avenue in uptown St. Augustine, across from the Mission Nombre de Dios and the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, beside the Limelight Theatre. It moved here from North Ponce de Leon Boulevard. The cafe serves coffee, wine, cupcakes and snacks and is free to enter, with views of the cats. The cat lounge spans two floors of the house, and an hourly admission fee per person covers the cats' care. Reservations are recommended; walk-ins join a waiting list. Everyone signs a waiver, the lounge is shoe-free, so guests wear grip socks, and children 12 and under need an adult, with no more than three per adult. The cats come from Feline Canopy of Care, a local nonprofit rescue, which handles adoptions. Events include painting nights and sound baths.
