The cat lounge and cafe area are separate. No cats ever enter the cafe area for safety and health reasons. Patrons pay a fee to enter the cat lounge and hangout with our adorable adoptable kitties.

The entry fee is necessary to cover the cost of housing our feline friends in a comfortable and safe environment. The entry fee also helps us provide staff as well as the costs associated with running a business. We thank you for your support! Please note that no paid entry is required to enjoy the café space, and there is seating to study or meet with friends while enjoying your coffee. Complimentary WiFi is available for customers!

Reservations are not required, however, the space has a max capacity of 10 people so reservations are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability. All reservations are on an hourly basis, so please ensure you arrive early to your scheduled time.

If it's only giving you the option to book 1 or 2 people it's because that is all that is still available in that session. Typically you can select to book up to 6 people per visit. Please try a different time slot to accommodate your party. The second calendar on our booking page shows the available time slots: https://www.coastalcatpcola.com/booking-calendar/visit-us?referral=service_list_widget Please note any party of 7 or more requires a private party booking. Attempting to go around this policy with separate bookings will be addressed and your party will be charged for a private party. ​

Unfortunately, no. As much as we would love to meet your furry friend, no cats or other pets may be brought into the café. All of the cats in our Cat Lounge are provided by our shelter partner and go through a strict vetting process. To protect your cat and the cats from PAWS & PFK, we request that you leave your kitty home, as it would be impossible to verify vaccines and other necessary medical information from all outside cats. Also, it would likely not be a very pleasant experience for anyone, especially your cat.

We are not a shelter or rescue and cannot take in stray cats. All cats are provided by our shelter partner, and essentially we are a foster home for PAWS & PFK. We are not licensed as a rescue group. If you have found a stray cat or need to surrender a cat please visit our additional resources page.

There are anywhere from 12-18 cats in the Cat Room at all times. The exact number varies depending on adoption rates, but there will always be plenty of adoptable kitties to meet and play with during your visit!

Yes. All cats are examined by Panhandle Animal Welfare Society or Pensacola Foster Kittens before arrival, which includes being spayed/neutered, microchipped, receiving updated vaccinations, receive dewormer treatment and flea preventative.
