👍👍 We had a great time, the kitties are all super cute and friendly. The Cafe blocks it off if there are two groups of people in there from what I could tell but you usually don't have to wait long to go in there. My girlfriend and I went on a Saturday and had to wait an hour until we could go into the... People often mention cats, coffee, great, time, kittens, cafe, cute, drinks, good, kitties,

    Good coffee. Good cats. 10/10 on both accounts. It wasn't what I was expecting (coffee shop with cats to pet while working) but rather a coffee shop +cat playroom filled with adoptable babies. I thought i could get some work done here but just paid for a half hour in the cat room instead. Amazing way to spend an afternoon!

    We had a great time, the kitties are all super cute and friendly. The Cafe blocks it off if there are two groups of people in there from what I could tell but you usually don't have to wait long to go in there. My girlfriend and I went on a Saturday and had to wait an hour until we could go into the room but with the old market right there it wasn't too bad. The drinks are also sooo yummy, we had the raspberry lemonade and it's so hard not to just inhale it. Definitely recommend if you're in need for a huge mood boos

    Nice staff and adorable cats. Several were very friendly and even laid on our laps! My son had a great time. Hot chocolate was tasty!

    The volunteers and staff are great. The kitties are very well taken care of and you can just tell the babies have a lot of fun during their stay at Felius before they go to their furever homes. The baristas make great drinks and both the cafe and shelter are very clean and tidy.

    I love Felius Cat Cafe! Their membership is a must! They have an amazing staff that cares deeply about their kitties. Seriously their adoption procedure maximizes safe and successful adoptions, they care for so many stray cat colonies, and so much more! Also their Barista-Hannah is amazing! I always try to schedule visits around her because she is so on top of it and her drinks are so good!

    We just watched the volunteer play with the cats. I understand that they have to check on the cats to ensure their well being but we didn’t get a chance to interact with them. The coffee is good though but we wanted the whole experience.

    What beats this miserable heat better than a trip to Felius (blissfully cool inside) and enjoying a delicious iced coffee while also loving on and playing with several sweet teeny kittens?? Nada. Absolutely nothing beats this activity, period. :) Such an special place...it was my son's first-time and he loved it.

    Coffee was good, similar price to starbucks. The room has to be reserved for a price and only allows 5 people at a time. The staff attitudes towards customers were lacking, but the cats were cute. It's a great concept it's just a really small space, so it's pretty crammed when it's full. I've heard they are moving to a larger location, which would be fantastic.

    LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. The kittens and cats are adorable and will cuddle with you (if they like you, of course lol). This place is a gem of Omaha. Come and spend some time with kittens or cats, and you won't regret spending your money here. Truly truly a beautiful place makes a grown man heart turn from cold to warm in an instant!

    We loved hanging out with all the cats while sipping some of the best lattes ever! (Try the Tiger vanilla latte! 😋) The best part is that all the cats are available for adoption! My mom decided to adopt a cat and went through their adoption process. The main goal here is to adopt out these cats to good homes, and they make sure that happens. 😊 If you are looking to adopt or are just into cats and want to hang out with them, this is a great place to go and support.

    The Cat Cafe is every cat lovers dream, and every cat lover's spouse's nightmare. The cafe has great onsite parking, right next to the building with a fun mural painted on the side. When you enter, you immediately notice how bright and clean the space is. I do recommend reserving time online as I believe it is appointment only to go into the cat area, price is very reasonable (yes, it does cost money to play with the cats! But this is money that then gets put back into the cats by way of spay/neuter, vet care, food, necessities, etc). The cafe has a lot of great drinks: coffee, tea, milkshakes. Prices are reasonable and the employees are incredibly helpful and kind. You can see the cat area by way of a giant glass window in the cafe, so even if you don't have an appointment, you can still enjoy watching the cats. You can bring your drinks into the cat area, but you have to wash your hands going in and out and take off your shoes before entering or wear slip on plastic booties over them (they provide). The cat area has a ton of seating, cat toys, brushes, cat trees, beds and of course, cats! The staff said they usually have around 9 or 10 but it depends on how many have recently been adopted. Spring is kitten season so all the cats except 1 have been kittens when I have visited. They do have a TV in the cat area that plays a quiet slide show displaying the pictures and names of all the cats. The cat cafe is it's own shelter, they are not affiliated with the humane society. This means all their funding is through us, the community. They take in cats how ever they can reach them, not all cats are included in the cat cafe as they go through a thorough review to ensure they are a good match for the cafe and the stress it can cause (kids over 6, new people, new environment, etc). They are still fostered and adoptable though! All the cats in the cafe are adoptable as well, but all were already spoken for when I visited - which was honestly a good thing as I already have three! Our first trip was to check out the place and see/pet cute kitties, our second trip was a birthday event with our 9 year old and his cousin who doesn't have any cats but wants one desperately. This was a great solution to get his cat fix! You can also buy a membership card if you plan to be a regular. Sometimes the cats are sleeping (which is a thing they do 90% of the time), you can still pet them but you cannot lift or carry them. Is there anything better than seeing cute kitties all cuddled up to one another and petting them?? Not in my book! We will definitely be back, my daughter who turns 6 in the fall is counting down to when she can visit with us!

    Felius is such a cute little place here in Omaha! They have a wonderful coffee bar and such cute kittens. The only thing I would warn people of is the time of booking! The cats seem to sleep during mid-day, and therefore won't play or sit with you. You also aren't allowed to pick them up. Otherwise, we loved coming here and would definitely return when ready to adopt!

    My wife and I enjoyed our time at Felius Cat Café & Rescue. We had fun sitting with and petting the cats. I had a tea latté and it was delicious. My wife really liked her coffee. We will be back for more tea/coffee & cats. I would 100% recommend going here. Be prepared to fall in love with the cats.

    Looking forward to their new facility! It’s a one of a kind experience but their space is so small right now - great if you want to audition a cat to adopt… maybe not so great as a cafe or place to just hang out with cats

    The kiddos loved our stop at Felius Saturday morning! We made reservations which I would recommend.

    We absolutely LOVE Felius! We found our forever kitty and love the rescues mission!

    My friend and I went here today and they weren’t friendly to us at all. They told us we couldn’t hold the kitties. And we walked in thinking we could go for an hour and could only go for half hour. Never asked if we wanted to get coffee or anything. And it was really small space and no parking. Personally if you want your money worth going to one of these go to coffee and purrs in Sioux City! We won’t go here again at felius.

    the baristas were so kind and served delicious coffee, and the volunteer in the cat room could not have been more delightful! you can tell it’s a project founded with love, doing great things for cats and the community (:

    The barista, Dekker, was awesome. Kind and soft-spoken, makes amazing drinks. We got to see the kittens, they were so precious and had so much energy.

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 9 months ago on Google
    Super cute little place! All the kittens were very friendly and really sweet. The prices are very affordable, and goes to a great cause. The drinks menu has a lot of options, so there's something for everybody. Will definitely be coming back!

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fun experience. Everything was perfect and the kittens were so sweet. Definitely won't regret doing it.

  • 5/5 Jill K. 1 year ago on Google
    My family loved the cat cafe! Go online before you go to reserve time with the cats. The weekends seem to get pretty full as they only allow five people with them at a time. We will be going back for kitten play time, hot chocolate, and coffee!

  • 5/5 C R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cute Cafe to have a coffee and hang out with cats/ kittens. All of the cats and kittens in the play area are available for adopand and will be spayed or neutered. Very affordable coffee and adoption prices! A great place to get some cat if you are unable to own. Play time is paid, but all of the proceeds go back into the company for the cats.

  • 5/5 Danyel E. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is incredibly charming! It's next to a veterinarian clinic, which makes it easy for them to help tend to the cats. The place is clean and you need an appointment to sit with the cats in the cat room. Which makes it nice so the kittens and cats don't get overwhelmed. They have good rules in place to make sure the cats are all safe with all interactions. Even made mention of socializing the cats, which is huge. My partner and I had a ton of fun for an hour and almost adopted a kitten. But we know we aren't properly prepared for one, yet. The staff and volunteer we met were friendly and informative. So, I suggest it for a nice bit of relaxing zen time with cute and playful kittens and cats.

    This is a lovely cat cafe and rescue center. The drink prices are about comparable with any coffee shop. The atmosphere is surprisingly cozy for the humans and the cats. I love the music they play, too. My daughter and I went for an hour and just enjoyed the cats' antics. I wish we were ready to adopt another kitty, but we have an elderly cat on all kinds of medication right now. But it was so nice to be able to support a good cause and get some kitty zen for the day!
