    This is a great cat café, you can tell that every worker/volunteer really cares for the animals and they have a good safe place to stay until they have a home. The decor is adorable, and there are tons of cat towers, toys, hiding areas, hidden litter boxes, and more for the cats so that they are never uncomfortable. When my wife and I visited our favorite cat was named "Spring", she was so cute and very good about being held. We already have two cats, but when our friends start looking to adopt we will definitely send them here! Also, the shop was very cute and affordable, we got a nice cat trash bin for only $6! And an entire hour at the café was not expensive at all!

    I have been to seven cat cafes in the U.S. Lucky Cat Cafe is tied for the top with one other as being the best! Their location is good, and the way they have set up the area for visiting with cats is wonderful. The cats are comfortable in the rooms of this home, and feel confident to come and play and be petted. All the rooms are clean and have a variety of seating for people. Lucky Cat keeps the number of visitors to a level where you do not feel crowded, and the cats are not overwhelmed. I had one of their bakery treats while I was there, and it was really good. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and unobtrusive. I loved my visit so much that I came back that day with my husband, who thoroughly enjoyed his time with the cats as well. I will make it a point to visit Lucky Cat anytime I'm in the Louisville area.

    Visited here for the first time yesterday. I’ve been to other cat cafes, and this is by far the best I’ve been to! It’s the ONLY nonprofit cat cafe in the area (the closest is Nashville, TN), and it has such a homey vibe. It’s a very inclusive environment and is perfect for anyone with special needs as the staff do an excellent job keeping everyone spread out with a relatively quiet environment. Admission is only $15 & includes a specialty coffee or beverage with an organic snack! (There are vegan snack options—I highly recommend the raspberry fig bar!) Plenty of toys are available for playing with the cats. ✨ To top things off, they have a board with a back story for each cat that allows you to get to know them personally! The volunteers are as sweet as can be, and there is such a great gift shop (not to mention it is so inexpensive!!). I would absolutely visit again. Other cat cafes in the area are great, but they’re more expensive & tend to be overstimulating for me (loud, lots of people crowded together, etc). Louisville is “lucky” to have the Lucky Cat Cafe & Lounge. TLDR; cheap admission, great beverage & snack options, inclusive special needs-friendly environment, cat toys for playing with the cats, homey vibes, cheap gift shop, in the heart of a shopping centre

    Great experience! Way cheaper than other cat cafes around and there wasn't a wait list. Just came right in and started petting some adorable cats. Shout out to noodle and her pasta themed kittens. They were adorable!

    Great non profit that helps to socialize cats who have been rescued. I was impressed by how much space they had for the cats and all the toys they had for them. The volunteers were really knowledgeable about the cats as well and seemed to really love them. Lots of cute kitties there!

    Always a great time at Lucky Cat! I adopted my kitty here 2 years ago and the place just keeps getting better! The sweetest staff and kitties around! The best cat cafe in Louisville by far! Several rooms to walk through and lovely snacks!

    We loved our visit to Lucky Cat Cafe. The $7 Sundays got our attention since we have a family of 8. The kids really enjoyed the cats and the dangly toys to play with them. They have a cute gift shop too. We have a frequent visitor card already full. We are all anxious to go back!

    Had a great time. Went here for my birthday with my friend and loved the older kitties getting some love. Very fair prices and caring staff.

  • 5/5 Winona R. 9 months ago on Google
    For one being the only non-profits in the state of Kentucky, makes it completely awesome, but it’s also such an experience for all the wonderful cats and the staff there is incredible. I got to adopt my precious Luna from there.

  • 5/5 Drew F. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I had a wonderful time here! The women who take care of these cats and kittens are wonderful and so nice!! The cats have so many sleeping and relaxing spots and all the toys possible. We are adopting little brothers from here and they seem like the sweetest boys. Very grateful for the people who work here and take care of these sweet animals!!

    My girlfriend and I come here every single Friday. The staff is so friendly at this point they are like family to us. The cats are all so lovable and so spoiled. You can tell they love being there. They're so well taken care of. I truly admire this organization and everything they do for those kitties. What I admire the most is that they are a non profit organization and that everybody there is a volunteer. They're doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. I'm so happy that I found such an amazing and cozy place where we can just go and let all the stress disappear while we pet some beautiful kitties and enjoy the company of the amazing staff.

    Such an amazing place! The staff are all incredibly friendly and the cats are adorable. Highly reccomend!!! (Strawberry stole my heart, someone go adopt him 🥺)

  • 5/5 Taylor S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff/owners were extremely nice. The prices were reasonable with a large array of snacks and drinks to choose from. Calm, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere! All of the kitty’s were friendly and sweet. If your looking for a place to unwind and cuddle with cats this is the perfect place!

  • 5/5 Tracey M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing. The cats are very well cared for. Everything is neat and clean.. The volunteers are so nice. We were in town visiting so we weren't looking for a kitty but we had a wonderful time playing with the st kitties.

  • 5/5 dakota s. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved my experience with Lucky Cat Café! Pricing is reasonable and there are always plenty of kitties to meet and play with. I went in to meet two cats in particular, had a wonderful time, and ended up submitting and application and eventually adopting them! The café was very responsive throughout the process and helped facilitate the adoption with Shamrock. Forever thankful! Even if you aren't looking to adopt, spending some quality time with kitties is always a fun way to spend the day.

  • 5/5 Ellie D. 4 years ago on Google
    My experience here was absolutely lovely. I could have sat there all day watching the cats play. So relaxing petting the cats. Beautiful 100 year old home with wonderful architecture. Best part is you can adopt one of the kitties and take them home if you want. The staff was very pleasant.

  • 5/5 Jessi M. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience with Lucky Cat has been nothing short of amazing. I've been multiple times to visit with the cats, but my last time I visited I absolutely fell in love with one of the cats. The adoption process was super easy and we now have an adorable new addition to the family! I love Lucky Cat and this will always be my recommendation forpeople looking for a new cat! Also the workers there are super nice And inviting!

    The work this nonprofit cat cafe does for the well-being of our favorite felines is just what the world needs more of. You can genuinely see the compassion from the volunteers and the owner. It really is all about the cats. I felt like I was stepping into my “cool” friends house that had all of the chillest cats, and plenty of them… but one could always have more, right? Very comfortable and relaxing environment. Cat and human approved!

  • 5/5 Ashley F. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter and I loved our experience here. So much better than a typical shelter atmosphere. The staff are super friendly. Plus the facility was kept clean. They have all the toys and brushes you'll need. Snacks and beverages available for purchase. Definitely will be back 🥰

  • 5/5 Tyler W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is wonderful little place. I've been to a few cat cafes before and this one's the best, you can tell all the cats are very well taken care of and loved while they're here. The whole place is set up with the cats' comfort and joy in mind. Very friendly people working there too. If you love cats, then there's no way you can miss this place.

    The people and cats are so sweet. Plenty of toys, food, hiding places, cat TV, and more for the cats' comfort. We had a wonderful time; will definitely be coming again soon. It feels great to support older and special needs rescue kitties while getting some purr therapy.
