About

The Cat Cafe is Southern California's first cat cafe, operating since January 2015 in downtown San Diego. It serves award-winning locally roasted coffee and pastries while allowing visitors to interact with adoptable cats from The Rescue House. The venue also features a curated shop for cat art and merchandise to support its mission.

What people say

Visitors praise the friendly staff, well-cared-for adoptable cats, and relaxing atmosphere, though some report feeling rushed due to high crowds and inconsistent service at the front desk.
