Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center

Nine Lives Cat Lounge & Adoption Center, located at 2201 E 7th St in Joplin, Missouri, is a welcoming haven where coffee, cats, and community come together, founded with a mission to support feline welfare in southwest Missouri. Partnered with the Joplin Humane Society, this cozy lounge features adoptable cats roaming freely, offering guests a chance to meet their next furry friend while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere with coffee, tea, or prepackaged snacks. Open Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the cafe charges a nominal admission fee (with monthly memberships available) for lounge access, alongside offerings like yoga, movie nights, and a thrift store area where all proceeds fund cat care. With Wi-Fi, wine, and beer options enhancing the vibe, Nine Lives provides a relaxing escape across from Locke Supply—perfect for unwinding, socializing cats, or adopting—supported by a friendly staff dedicated to reducing pet homelessness in the region.
