The Cat's Meow Cafe

The Cat’s Meow Cafe holds the distinction of being Bloomington, Illinois’ inaugural cat cafe, offering a unique blend of feline companionship and cozy cafe vibes. In collaboration with Pet Central Helps, a local animal rescue, the cafe creates a nurturing space where visitors can sip on coffee while interacting with adoptable cats, each thoughtfully showcased with papers detailing their personalities and adoption information. The menu features classic cafe fare, including iced and hot lattes, drip coffee, flavored lemonades, iced teas, and a selection of pastries, with plans to expand offerings to include breakfast sandwiches and more. Guests can enjoy their drinks and treats in a dedicated cat lounge, where a $5 entry fee (or free with a cafe purchase) grants access to a clean, enclosed area fostering up to 16-18 cats at a time, all fully vetted and ready for their forever homes.
