This is the most fun I have ever had at a cafe. The staff was super friendly and shared information about all the cats. You do have to sign up for a time to meet with the cats and it costs about $20 but that includes an hour with the cats and a free drink. Most of the cats are adoptable and very friendly. Had a wonderful relaxing time in with the cats and they do have tables and outlets inside so if you need to charge your phone or get some work done in the company of some cute cats you can. Highly recommend to cat lovers and those who just like to give to a good cause.

Please keep in mind you are going to visit cats not a perfume store. Personnel was fantastic; they were extremely helpful, and friendly. The proprietor was a pleasant introvert. The kitties were fantastic; they were both entertaining and relaxing. Being in such a space was quite relaxing, and the experience was fantastic. When I'm in San Diego, I'll surely go back. I enjoyed it and would suggest this company. It's also fantastic that they help locate homes for our feline companions. So, if you ever find yourself in central San Diego, I strongly advise you to pay this location a visit, especially if you are a cat lover. My niece enjoyed it as well, although it is not suitable for youngsters under the age of six.

This place is a great way to sip coffee and get to know adoptable kitties in a cute environment. The heavy scent of litter box was a bit off-putting at first, especially while drinking coffee, but that’s to be expected. Plan ahead for parking. It’s located in a tight spot but there are a couple of pay lots near by.

We decided to drop by and check out this Cat Cafe, and it was well worth our time. You have to make a reservation for an hour timeframe ahead of time before you show up. Once you get there your ticket in gives you the ability to have 1 beverage or morsel to eat from their fridge of goodies. Once it's your time to enter, you can go inside and interact with the kitties. The cats we met were adorable and were fun to cuddle with. You can adopt any of them, and the staff will help you in that regard. I recommend visiting this place. We have gone to one in San Francisco and now San Diego, and both were great!

There are metered spaces on the street right outside the cafe, and it's the standard rate ($0.25 per 12/15 mins.). There are also a few non-metered and paid-parking options a block or two away.

Their website says something about making an appointment.. do I have to make an appointment if I just want to get a coffee and see the cats ?

No not typically. I have walked in twice without an appointment. They might require it if they are busy (limited space).
