What People Are Saying

from Google & Yelp

"What a peaceful way to spend an hour on Sunday. I love cats so this is a really sweet way to spend some time with several rescue cats. You can feed them treats and play with them. I am partial to black cats, but they had tabby, calico and tuxedo cats too. I got a cinnamon roll and a latte. The cinnamon roll was delicious!"

★★★★★

"What a delightful place with very cute and well cared for kitties. The black kitty with the white belly is so good at jumping, I'm sure he will find a home soon! A beautiful tabby adopted my purse but did give it back at the end."

"Overall, I had a nice time—mainly because I always enjoy being around cats. That said, there are a few things worth noting. To start, I didn’t feel properly greeted upon arrival. I don’t expect a rolled out red carpet, but a simple “Hi, welcome!” would have made a difference. Instead, the first thing I was asked was, “Do you have a reservation?”—with no warm greeting or acknowledgment beforehand. It set a somewhat cold tone right from the start. The space is limited to one house unless you're planning to adopt, which grants access to a second area. The room was a bit musty, and although they had two electronic litter boxes, the overall cleanliness could be improved. Two of the cats were confined, which I assume was due to illness—understandable, but it slightly affected the open environment I was expecting. One disappointment was that coffee wasn’t available during my visit. Having coffee available would have made the experience feel more complete. Still, I was happy to learn that the proceeds go directly to supporting the lounge and caring for the cats. The admission fee was acceptable, and despite a few drawbacks, I appreciated the chance to spend time with the cats and support a good cause."

"I absolutely love El Gato Café! I adopted my sweet Sabrina here, and the adoption process was smooth and thorough. The staff really cares about the cats and makes sure each one feels loved. If I could, I’d adopt them all! Thanks to El Gato, my boy kitty now has a forever companion. 💕"

"I love this place and if you don't you're anti-kitty or kitty-ist and I don't have time for you and your non-kitty loving ways. I love this nonprofit...."
