Cat Cafes in Tampa, Florida

Tampa, Florida

Cats & Caffeine, located at 4033 Henderson Blvd in Tampa, Florida, proudly holds the distinction of being Tampa's first cat cafe and lounge, opened in the summer of 2022 by founders aiming to blend coffee culture with feline companionship. Partnered with the nonprofit Purrs & Whiskers Inc., this adoption-friendly haven fosters a rotating cast of fully vetted, adoptable cats and kittens (typically 10 to 15 at a time) in a spacious, controlled lounge environment, improving their socialization and adoption odds compared to traditional shelters. Guests can reserve 60-minute sessions for $15 to cuddle with the kitties, enjoying a menu of caffeinated drinks like espresso and pink matcha lattes, plus sweet snacks, all while supporting cat care through admission fees. With a capacity limit of 15 per session (larger groups can email for private bookings), this women-owned spot enforces an 8+ age policy for lounge entry, offers cat yoga and private events, and creates a cozy, pink-hued kitty heaven where visitors can relax, adopt, or simply bask in feline charm.
