Step inside PHX Cat Cafe at 147 E Garfield St and you’ll find more than a cozy cup of coffee waiting for you. Picture this: sunbeams fill a bright lounge, the soft purr of a tabby greets you at the door, and your latte sits side by side with a playful paw. This spot is not just about great drinks. It’s about cool cats, new friends, and memorable moments.
The Purrfect Day Out Awaits
PHX Cat Cafe brings together some of life’s best comforts: coffee, cats, and cozy spaces. Whether you’re looking to unwind after work, searching for a family-friendly place to hang out, or hoping to meet your future fur-ever friend, everyone’s welcome here.
Here’s what you get when you visit:
-
A full-service coffee bar with everything from frothy cappuccinos to refreshing teas and sweet treats.
-
A bright cat lounge where adoptable cats rule the roost and love making new pals.
-
Friendly staff who know every cat’s quirks and love to share stories.
Meet, Play, Adopt
Every cat at the cafe has a story. You might find a shy tuxedo cat peeking from a perch or a playful orange tabby chasing toys. All are looking for snuggles and, sometimes, their forever home.
Cat adoptions at PHX Cat Cafe are simple and warm. If one of the cats steals your heart, ask the team about adoption steps. Adoption fees usually range from $150 to $350 and include spaying or neutering, FIV/FeLV testing, important vaccines, and microchipping. New families get help, too—free cat behavior support smooths the way for your new roommate.
The best part? All resident cats come from local rescue efforts, including trap-neuter-return programs. So every time someone adopts, they’re changing a life.
Paws and Play: Events That Spark Joy
No two days at PHX Cat Cafe are the same. Ready to stretch and laugh? Cat Yoga sessions are the answer—imagine doing a downward dog with curious kitties threading between your arms. Want to get creative? Try Paint Night in the lounge, with a cat “assistant” ready to “help” with your art.

-
