Naughty Cat Cafe Reviews

Welcoming and friendly staff create a warm atmosphere for visitors.

The cat area is cozy, clean, and well-maintained, with little to no litter box odor due to separate litter rooms accessed by cats through small mailbox holes.

Offers a unique experience to interact with many adoptable cats in multiple rooms designed for comfort and play.

Provides a variety of amenities including coffee, tea, beer, wine, food, wifi, yoga sessions, movie nights, and cat-themed merchandise.

Recognized as one of the largest cat lounges in the U.S. with over 2,000 positive Google reviews maintaining a 5-star rating.

The café environment includes chill music and thoughtfully arranged spaces like beds and cubby holes for cats to roam freely.

One of the largest cat cafes in the world, serving as a large foster home for local shelters with at least 30 adoptable rescue cats available to interact with in a spacious, stylish lounge environment.

The cafe offers a cage-free environment where visitors can relax and enjoy over 2,000 sq. ft. of cat lounge space filled with posh furniture, art from around the world, and jazz music.

Visitors pay a small entry fee of $17, which is a direct donation that goes entirely to supporting the cats. This fee includes one non-alcoholic beverage to enjoy while spending time with the cats.

The cafe provides a variety of refreshments including organic locally roasted coffee, hot teas, baked goods from local bakeries, and over 30 local beers, hard ciders, sours, and seltzers (though no cooking on-site due to health regulations).

It promotes cat adoption but also welcomes guests who simply want to give love and attention to shelter cats without adopting.

Located conveniently in Chattanooga’s St. Elmo neighborhood near popular attractions like Lookout Mountain and Ruby Falls with ample free parking available.

Offers additional amenities such as free Wi-Fi for visitors who want to work or relax while enjoying feline company.

Strict age policy: Visitors must be at least 11 years old; those aged 11–15 must be accompanied by an adult ensuring safety for both guests and cats.

The café's beverage offerings are limited; it serves local coffee and tea but lacks specialty espresso drinks such as cappuccinos or lattes. Coffee is self-served rather than barista-made which may disappoint some expecting a traditional café experience.

Adoption policies have been criticized; there was at least one reported incident where adoption was denied due to COVID-19 restrictions despite the adopter’s readiness. This caused emotional distress for potential adopters who felt the policy hindered finding homes for cats in need.
