Great Experience

My family and I really enjoyed interacting with the spunky cats and kittens! The owner was very personable! I just wish that the facility had more of a cafe vibe.

Operator response

Hi Laura, Thank you so much for visiting with your family and for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed spending time with our playful, spunky rescue cats and kittens, and your kind words about the owner truly mean a lot. We also appreciate your feedback about the café atmosphere. While we do serve coffee and a few refreshments, our primary focus is creating a clean, spacious, and enriching environment for our adoptable rescue cats. We intentionally keep the lounge more open and minimalist so we can thoroughly clean and sanitize the space every day while giving our cats plenty of room to play, climb, and interact with guests in a safe, stress-free setting. Thank you again for supporting our rescue mission. Every visit to Purrfecto helps provide care for homeless cats while giving families and visitors one of the most unique things to do in Austin. We hope to welcome you back soon for more cuddles, purrs, and maybe even a new feline friend!

Highly recommend

Lots of fun loving kitties. When we were there, there were a lot of young kids being loud and running around (they were told multiple times to settle down or not to do something.) I do think if you have young children have them tone down their energy as the adult cats don’t enjoy a lot of rowdiness. Staff were very nice.

Operator response

Hi there, Thanks so much for visiting Purrfecto and for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you enjoyed spending time with our fun, loving rescue cats and that our team made you feel welcome. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback. Creating a calm, stress-free environment is one of our top priorities because it helps our adoptable cats feel comfortable and allows guests to have the best possible experience. Our staff actively reminds visitors, especially younger guests, to use quiet voices, walk instead of run, and respect the cats' space whenever needed. While most families are wonderfully mindful, we know that excitement can sometimes get the best of little animal lovers! Thank you for recognizing our team's efforts to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. We truly appreciate your support of our rescue mission and hope you'll visit again the next time you're looking for one of the most unique and relaxing things to do in Austin. Every visit helps us continue finding loving forever homes for deserving rescue cats.

My favorite experience in Austin!

Had a great time during my trip to Austin! They had soo many cute cats (they said they had over 20) and they were all adorable, active and very social! I had never been to a cat cafe before but this exceeded all my expectations. I loveddd that they were also all adoptable! This was definitely the highlight of my trip and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin! I will be back next time I’m in town.

Fun Experience with my little guy!

Kids under 6 not allowed although made an exception for me. That was extremely kind of them. I was on edge with my little guy but thankful they gave us a chance.

Operator response

6 great

I loved the cuddly cats, welcoming staff at the front counter. Just want to say that even though the neon sign and white and mainly empty floor wasn’t my favourite, it is worth the visit!

Operator response

Thank you so much for visiting us and for supporting our rescue mission! We're so glad you enjoyed the cuddly cats and our welcoming staff. We completely understand that our minimalist space may not be everyone's favorite aesthetic. We intentionally keep the lounge simple and uncluttered so that we can maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for both our cats and guests. In a free-roaming, non-crated cat environment, daily cleaning and disinfecting are essential, and the design helps us provide the highest standard of care for our rescue cats. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and support. We truly appreciate it, and we're grateful you found the visit worthwhile!

Birthday gathering

It was a cute place, the owner was very condescending and rude, she was upset that I booked a party of 8 and not 6 and threatened to charge us $650 if we did it again, my daughter turned 11 and she along with her sister, dad, myself and her cousins still had a great time.

Cats but no cafe

It is in a strip center in a sad part of town. The people were very nice. The cats were adorable. It’s not a cafe. It’s just a room with cats.

Operator response

Hi! We're sorry to hear you felt that way. We're actually located in the Barton Springs/Zilker neighborhood the heart and soul of Austin—and it's a vibrant, welcoming area that we're proud to call home. We do offer coffee, including cold brew, drip coffee, and iced coffee. More importantly, every visit helps support our rescue mission. We've helped find homes for over 2,000 cats, so by visiting us, you become part of that mission too. Thank you for stopping by, and we hope you'll visit us again!

Furry fun

Super fun experience, the cats of all ages come to you and play. Some will lay next to you, some want to play with toys provided. The smell can be a bit much if you are not familiar. Restroom is clean and, the drink menu is small

Operator response

Hi there, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad you had a fun time with our kitties. We also appreciate your feedback. We highly prioritize cleanliness and clean at the top of every hour. However, since we are a fully free roaming cat lounge, there can occasionally be some cat-related smells, especially for guests who are unfamiliar with animals. Thank you again for visiting and for your honest review. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
