Lazy Cat Lounge
About
Lazy Cat Lounge, a unique cat cafe in Lafayette, Indiana, offers an experience for cat lovers, serving as a vital stepping stone for adoptable felines. Partnering with My New Cat Rescue, this downtown establishment has facilitated hundreds of adoptions since November 2019, providing a temporary home for cats and kittens awaiting their forever families. Guests are invited to enjoy time with a selection of these wonderful cats in a brightly decorated, clean environment, observing their personalities. The lounge emphasizes ethical care, ensuring the cats are socialized and comfortable, making it a positive space for both visitors and resident felines. Walk-ins are welcome at the top of each hour, subject to availability, or guests can book a visiting spot in advance, paying by the hour.
Visitors consistently praise the friendly, sociable cats, describing them as cute and well-cared-for, and finding their time spent relaxing. Many highlight the amazing, cordial staff and the excellent environment for both kids and those considering adoption, with several guests adopting cats from the lounge. While most experiences celebrate the careful training and introduction of cats, one visitor noted concerns regarding cat cleanliness and a staff member's handling of felines, advocating for stricter training and discipline. Conveniently located on Main Street in downtown Lafayette, an accessible spot for Purdue students and families, guests can take water or soda into the cat room. Plan your visit Tuesday through Friday from 1 PM to 8 PM, Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday from 1 PM to 6 PM, to support local animal rescue and enjoy a unique feline sanctuary.
