My daughter said the Lucky Cat Cafe was a 10,000 out of 10! We loved our visit.

Very cozy lovely place to be. Staff were very friendly like a family member. Drinks and gifts available and plenty to choose from. Cats. Well you just gotta go see them.

Had a great experience hanging out with all of the cats with my wife and 2 teen boys. For my oldest 16th birthday! There was no pressure to adopt. The facility was clean and cute. The employees seemed caring and dedicated. Thanks for helping the cats ?

I found out last year that I have a terminal lung disease. Totally blindsided me but given the grim prognosis I set about trying to find a place for my 7 rescue kitties. They’re all but one 8-9 years old. Tough to place, but I was determined to give it my best effort. I reached out to every organization I could find. After a few weeks of waiting and a couple of half hearted responses from a few, I got a call from Vanessa, who heads the Shamrock organization. We talked for almost an hour, and she gave me some hope. The following Thursday I woke up very ill. I arrived at the hospital in acute respiratory arrest. Once I was stabilized I texted Vanessa to let her know I might be out of time. Thankfully the doctors were able to pull me back. On Saturday Vanessa came to see me in the hospital, again spending over an hour. She brought me snacks too! I am so grateful for Vanessa and the entire Lucky Cat family. The following week we got 3 of my kitties vetted, chipped and all their shots. Today the first of them went to their new fur-ever home. These folks really care about the kitties, and their owner’s circumstances. No words can describe how thankful I am for their efforts during a most difficult time. If you can and care, send them some money! As much as you can afford. Skip that Starbucks and pay it forward. Please, for the kitties.

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

The kids had a fantastic time. The staff was very friendly and made sure the girls had a great experience. They got stickers and treats to pass out. It was a great birthday present!!

Such a great time! The fact that this is a house gives it such a great ambience and vibe. There are 3 rooms that you walk between where there are cats hanging out on tables, chairs, little window seats, walking around, etc.. Makes it feel like you went to a friend's house that happens to have a lot of cats. There are time slots you can sign up for with a max of 10. Since it's not one giant room or space it does not feel like there are too many people at all. There were kids and adults and plenty of space to go in between and not be on top of each other or fighting for one cats attention. Several toys to play with cats.There are volunteer staff (super nice) as well that help with any questions you may have and also have these little treats they give you to feed to the cats. Love that they do that! Will say everyone was friendly and defintely the #1 spot to go to and visit cats. I've been to the other one as well, and all good there but totally prefer the more home vibe this one has. Only thing I wish now was that there was a puppy house you can visit.

CATS NOT FRIENDLY. The cats wanted nothing to do with anyone, and obviously wanted some personal space. The cats did not want to play or even be pet. There was a very limited choice of toys just small balls that older cats don’t have an interest in. Not a cafe, just had some snacks and a coffee machine at the entrance. I got swatted at and clawed by their main greeting cat I think called the office cat. The first thing I heard was the receptionist assuring me that the cat was okay. When I asked for a bandaid from the older lady I got no apology or even fake customer service. I cleaned myself up in their dingy bathroom filled with litter boxes, and left 30 mins after arriving bleeding and disappointed.UPDATE: if you want to go to a cat cafe that is actually a cafe go to purrfect day cat cafe down the street, full of kittens and very friendly staff. You shouldn’t be advertising your business as a cafe it should be advertised as a shelter to pick cats for adoption. Honestly I feel bad for those cats they deserve space and privacy.
