About Us

The Kitty Beautiful, downtown Orlando's cat cafe, is open 12-6 Wednesdays to Sundays, closed Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday hours will resume June 7. Reservations are strongly recommended and can be made below on this page only and not over the phone. Reservations are almost always necessary on weekends and during school holidays to ensure admission, and are required for groups of four or more.

We are located at 360 State Lane, between Livingston and Robinson, one block west of Orange Avenue. Street parking is usually available on State Lane at a dozen metered spots for $1/hour, free on Sundays.

Admission is $12 plus tax per person for one hour. Half-hours for $7 plus tax are available on weekdays only.

We still require face coverings to be worn in the cat area, and are keeping a close watch on the Orange County positivity rate to determine when we will relax this policy.

Most adoptions are $125, $150 for cats under 1 year old, and $50 for senior cats 7 and older.

We are unable to take in cats at our cafe. If you have cats that you are looking to rehome, please contact our rescue partner CATS CAN through their rehoming form.

We are not currently hiring or looking to in the near future.

What is a cat cafe?

On one side, our cat cafe is just a regular place to get sandwiches, soups and snacks, coffees, teas, handcrafted sodas, kombucha, and beer and wine. It's a place to bring your laptop and use free Wi-Fi while you enjoy a good pick me up. Order a drink from our friendly purristas. Or a place to unwind during a busy day.

But the other side of a cat cafe is that it is an attraction where cats can be watched and played with.

Patrons pay a small cover fee and go into a separate room to play with and hang out with a bunch of free roaming, fully adoptable cats.

The world's first cat cafe opened in Taiwan in 1998. A few years later, they started to open in Japan, which is where the concept took off. The concept spread to Europe and then to the United States in 2014. Cat cafes in the United States differ from those in many other countries with their focus on adoptions. So you can come down to a cat cafe, grab lunch or a snack, get a coffee, go play with cats, and if you fall in love, adopt them and take them home.

Cats

We host cats from our adoption partner, CATS CAN. All of our cats are spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids; administered age appropriate vaccines, treated for parasites, and all microchipped. And they are adoptable!

Coffee

Coffees, teas, handcrafted sodas, beer and wine, sandwiches, snacks, soups and more! A great place for a quick drink or snack even without the cats!

Community

A place to come and relax, use the Wi-Fi, play a board game, borrow or leave a book from our free library, and connect with people as well as felines. Cat Yoga, "mewvie nights," local artists and more.

Meet Our Cats

Our feline friends are our main attraction and are almost all available for adoption. We usually have ~15 cats at any time from our non-profit rescue partner, CATS CAN.
