Reviews for River Kitty Cat Cafe in Evansville, IN
This place is amazing to me ! There are so many cute playful cats in one place!(: All of the cats are adoptable. The cats with... the blue collars are boys and the red collars are girls. You can pay $6 to spend time with the cats for 30 minutes or $8 to stayfor an hour. I went for an hour and the time flew by! All of the cats have their name on their collars and the staff seem toknow each cat really well even though they usually get adopted with in a few weeks. I also had a Carmel coffee macaroon while Iwas there that was AMAZING. Read more
I loved coming here to play with the kitties. I do think a half an hour is plenty of time in there. I love that you can go... inside and get a coffee or macarons and watch the kitties from outside the kitty room. The macarons were wonderful although Idid feel they were a little overpriced. The raspberry, coconut, dark chocolate were delicious however the blueberry didn?t tastelike blueberry. I?m definitely looking forward to returning to the kitty cafe. Read more
My wife and I have been multiple times and love it! It's always so calming and is a great way to quietly unwind. The coffee is... delicious (I suggest the razzleberey mocha) and there is plenty of cute merchandise. You have to pay to see the cats but I feellike that is reasonable since the money goes towards their care. If you're bringing children please understand that it is acalm, quiet environment and that if the cats get scared they have an area downstairs they can run to to hide so please bepatient if there aren't many upstairs. That being said, I've visited at the same time as a family with young children who werethere celebrating one of the kids birthdays and they were very well behaved and everyone had a great time! Thank you for allyou guys do for the kitties! Read more
The cafe was clean and well decorated and the cats were wonderful. My issue is with the staff and the signage. This was my first... time visiting and I had no knowledge of anything there. When I arrive with my toddler I?m rudely greeted by a blonde barista.She was rude throughout my original transaction and kept glaring at my daughter. I brushed it off as I know some people areuncomfortable around kids and we enjoyed our treats before going in. The coffee and macarons are delicious! We go to head intothe cat room and as we?re halfway through the door she screams ?you can?t just sneak in there like that. It?s stealing!?. Myselfand all the other customers who were present were shocked. I said that I didn?t realize there was a fee and would just pay it. Iwould?ve left as I was very offended but my daughter was excited to meet the cats so I stayed. She said, ?well you should?ve.It?s (whatever the price was) per person? in a rude tone and glared at me through the entire transaction. She said we had 30minutes and we went in. The cats were amazing and obviously well taken care of. The rules for the room were strict and I?m gladthat they were there for the cats? comfort. My daughter had fun with them and it was a relaxing experience in there. It would?vebeen more relaxing if I didn?t catch her glaring at me again through the window on occasion. The reoccurring glares ended upcausing me to leave earlier than I had to. I was going to adopt a cat today but will go with a different shelter. I do hopeHolly gets adopted soon. She seems to be a very sweet cat. Overall the facility was wonderful and the products and cats weregreat. There definitely needs to be customer service training implemented and proper signage posted in obvious areas. I mayvisit this establishment again after this sour experience leaves my mind, but, as of right now, I will not be coming back. P.S.The other barista was fine and very nice. It was specifically the blondish haired one that I had an Read more
This place is a very unique concept. You can get coffee, tea or smoothies along with macarons. The macarons were amazing. I did... not try the drinks this time but I will say customer service was eh and the place was very jam packed. Would go back to try thecoffee or smoothies. You can sign up and wait to play with the cats here that are in a separate room. All the cats areadoptable. Prices were pretty high for food drinks and retail. Read more
The employees were unnecessarily hostile and demeaning. Especially as someone who has volunteered at multiple shelters and... humane associations herself and already has three cats, you should never assume clients/customers don?t know what they?re doing.Don?t know if he was just having a bad day, but treating customers poorly for no reason is never acceptable.

Really cute spot! You can order drinks to bring into the cat area. They had a lot of cats and they were very sweet. You can... adopt them here too. They have plenty of toys and obstacles and all seem very happy. Loved coming here. You can pay $6 for halfan hour or $12 for an hour to play with the cats. Read more
