Cat Cafes in Bloomington, Indiana

The Cat’s Closet, a unique cat cafe in Bloomington, Indiana, offers a welcoming space for both people and cats. Owners Sydney and Clairessa started their vintage business in September 2021 with a mission to help adoptable cats find forever homes while providing a comfortable, free-roaming environment. Visitors can enjoy time with 10-25 adoptable cats and kittens, supplied by the Greene County Animal Shelter, all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. While many come to simply relax, study, or play games with friendly felines, the cafe also supports adoptions through a professional process. Lounge appointments are available for 30 minutes at $7 or 1 hour for $11, and highly recommended due to visitor limits, though walk-ins are accepted based on availability. Children under 14 are welcome but must be accompanied by a paying adult, with a maximum of two children per adult. The space is carefully divided, ensuring cat and visitor safety, and customers consistently praise the clean facility.

Beyond the cat lounge, The Cat’s Closet is celebrated for its diverse selection of unique, size-inclusive vintage clothing, with customers like one visitor and another guest highlighting fair prices and items that have been washed. Reviews consistently commend the kind, helpful, and personable staff, who are noted for their dedication to cat welfare and ensuring felines find loving families, even following up on adopted cats like Rolo. Visitors frequently praise the "loveable, calm, and adorable" cats, with one customer even receiving complimentary lounge visits. While the cafe does not serve food or drinks, guests are welcome to bring small treats, but feeding the cats is not permitted. The Cat’s Closet also hosts community events, special gatherings, and wellness activities. With hours Wednesday through Sunday for lounge visits, prospective visitors are highly encouraged to book appointments online to secure their spot for an enriching cat interaction experience.
