Purrfect Pause Cat Cafe - Boulder, Colorado

I love this place! I’ve been here 3 times now and all three times went perfectly! The staff are very kind and respectful, the cats are very cute (and all mostly up for adoption too!), and just a wonderful place to de-stress for an hour! s(=^•.•^=)♡

The most wonderful cat cafe. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive. Both my cats are from here (from the same foster Mom, Jessica) and both are the best cats in the world. Couldn’t recommend more!

This was a real delight and a highlight of our time in Boulder, the cats were all adorable, playful, and super friendly. We got to pet them, they hopped on our laps, and they were enamored with the plethora of tubes, toys, and cat trees in the cafe. The woman who greeted us was very sweet, and helpfully accommodated our group of 5. We did not try any of the human treats, so I can't speak to those.

A warning, reviews mention the order, and unfortunately that was true of our visit. The cafe smelled strongly of cat pee. This was dramatically exacerbated by their AC being down, and while that is not their fault, the giant swamp cooler fan blowing the air towards the door was a poor choice.

We were able to put on surgical masks that made it a non-issue, and we would happily go again, but be aware.

If you have a strong reaction to the smell of cat pee, I suggest popping your head in before paying the $15 entry fee.

We absolutely love Purrfect pause. Not only are the cats fixed, they have all their vaccinations and are socialized with other cats and people. We adopted this Purrfect little angel and couldn’t be happier. They gave us a little adoption kit and all of the resources to make sure she is happy, healthy, and has a smooth transition. We will definitely be returning to the cat cafe in the future

This place is ADORABLE!!! My daughter really wanted to visit a cat cafe for her 17th birthday so we decided to check this place out. It's very relaxed and quiet. Not your typical cafe experience but that's kind of the point. All the cats are adoptable, they have some snacks like cookies and candies as well as some drinks like coffees, tea, boba and I believe juice and water. The big point is the cats, who are in a socialization area that you get to sit down in while the cats go about their day. They provide toys so you can play with them and all of the ones we met were friendly and would walk right up to you as you enter. I had one little sweetheart who immediately climbed up in my lap and just curled up and went to sleep for a good half hour. My daughter says it was the best birthday experience she's ever had. There is an entry fee which goes towards the operations of the cafe/cattery which I had not seen on the website and they ask that you limit the time your there to an hour which was honestly perfect timing because the cats seemed to get bored with our presence around that time lol. All in all it was a fantastic experience and we're about to become regular visitors after today.

Great place for cats and people. We wanted to take all of the cats home! They had a lot of toys and places to hide, sleep and climb. My kids loved it. The person working there during our visit was friendly and well informed. We will be back.

Definitely a highlight on my birthday trip to Boulder was stopping by this wonderful cat cafe.

This is a great way to interact with cats of all ages and give them some much needed attention. I enjoyed thoroughly going through and playing with them all. The cat cafe had an extensive amount of toys to utilize which made the hour time slot go very fast.

It was a clean atmosphere and wasn’t crowded at all.

If you’re an animal lover I would highly recommend stopping by here and spending some time with the cats.

We came here for the first time 2 days ago and had to go again today we loved it so much! What a wonderful way to get cats adopted and let people get to know a cat before they adopt. And it's a fabulous place to hang out for an hour if you like cats. The cats are sociable, often coming up to you to play or get some pets and snuggles. My latte was nice and the kids enjoyed their hot chocolates. Nothing fancy but it was just right. We came for the cat snuggles and were nowhere near disappointed. I highly recommend coming, it will warm your heart.
