The Chatty Cat Café: A Place of Healing, Love, and Second Chances

The Chatty Cat Café isn’t just a café—it’s comfort food for the soul. If you love coffee and cats, this is a place where warmth, love, and healing come together in the most beautiful way. They are doing amazing things—not only for people but, more importantly, for the cats who need us most.

I will forever be grateful for everyone at the Chatty Cat Café. After a difficult diagnosis, my kids took me there to lift my spirits, to enjoy a drink, and to spend time with the sweetest cats. And it worked—it brightened my day in ways I never expected. But what I didn’t know then was that my journey with them was just beginning.

That’s when I met Big Boy Barron. He healed parts of me I never thought could be healed. And on Christmas Eve, when I got the call—"I know it’s Christmas Eve, BUT..."—I didn’t even let her finish. I shouted with excitement, "I'M ON MY WAY!" That was the day Barron came home.

And then came Graffiti—my best friend. We applied for her, too, and on Valentine’s Day, she became part of our family. Now, over a year later, I can’t imagine where I’d be without these beautiful souls. Through one of the toughest times in my life, the Chatty Cat Café gave me strength, hope, and love.

I wish I could give them the world to help them continue their incredible work. But what I can do is encourage everyone to support them. Visit. Grab a snack or a delicious coffee. Donate. Like. Share. And if you can, adopt.

Let’s give this team everything they need to keep changing lives—one cat, one cup of coffee, and one heart...

Located inside Colony Square Mall, across from Bath & Body Works. Small and quaint. Inside front is smaller than the back part of establishment, where the lovely fur angels are located. The front is where the host/hostess, register, drink orders, snack orders, t-shirts, souvenirs are located. Walk-ins are welcomed but they do prefer online bookings to assure your time slot visit with the furbabies. $10/30-mins, $15/1-hour, per person. My granddaughter and I reserved an hour visit ($30). We went on a Sunday, hours on that day are 12pm-6pm, with kitty nap time and clean up from 2pm-3pm. We reserved a 12pm-1pm slot. I believe their full capacity of visitors are 15 total at one time, which is too many in the kitty cat playplace. 5 was more than enough that were in the room with us total at one time. When there are over 10 playful furbabies around, more than 5-7 persons is too many. Friendly staff. Souvenir Chatty Café tees are $24.99. There are other tees and items for purchase. Proceeds go to the care of the cats, rescues, and shelter. They serve a variety of beverages to choose from (non alcohol only). They also offer small snacks. No sandwiches or hot food items. All feline angels are there for you to adopt, if you fall in love with one. Adoption application available on site. Very beautiful, friendly, playful babies of different colors, sizes, ages. I recommend this wonderfully delightful establishment. Enjoy a "purrrfect" day with a feline furangel!...

So before I say my review, I wanna point out I have social anxiety. I don't go out very often, not really good at making friends cuz i'm shy. My casemanager took me to this place just to check it out. We've been wanting to go since it opened.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! The staff were really nice, The kitties were adorable. I had 12 dollars so I didn't buy a drink but the menu had some really tempting looking drinks. I'm coming back next week to have the full experience. Staff and I started talking about videogames andone of the staff heard I liked Sonic the hedgehog and drew me these two cute sketches below. Look how cuuuttteee!!!

Also I think they are lgbtq friendly cuz I saw some trans flag stickers so 10/10 for the safe environment for those of us who just want to be ourselves.

If I was rich, I'd donate like...(I'm not rich, I wish tho) a million dollars to them, they deserve it. They even save cats from kill shelters and give them the love and care they need. As someone who was in training to get a grooming lisence and wanted to become an animal behavioralist, those cats looked very healthy. Their coats were so beautiful, you know they take good care...
