Cats are curious creatures. Some are cuddly and friendly; others are inquisitive and aloof. No matter what their personalities, they’re all fun to hang out with, and you can do just that at Tinker’s Cat Cafe in Salt Lake City, while you enjoy coffee and delicious pastries.
Tinker’s Cat Cafe is Utah’s first cafe that features adorable cats who are looking for a furrever home.

The dining area is separate from the cat lounge, but you might see a few furry faces peering at you while you dine.

Visits to the cat lounge require a reservation (though you can often get a spot by walking in). You’ll get to meet these furry felines in person, and play with, cuddle, and watch them for an hour.

These kitties come from Salt Lake County Animal Services, and they’ve all visited a veterinarian, have been spayed or neutered, and are micro-chipped. They’re looking for furrever homes, and hanging out at the cat lounge while they wait.
