Frisky Cat Cafe - St. Augustine

Cannot recommend enough! Absolutely wonderful, relaxing, and fun place with and incredible loving and caring atmosphere. There is a $10 per person charge to spend time with the cats and separately enclosed kitten areas.All of the cats in the open cafe space are well socialized, sweet, and loving. The kitten areas (which are two separate rooms which only allow four people at a time) are visible from the main seating area. They even have a curtained off area for cats that are older or prefer to be away from the light to moderate people traffic that is within the cafe at any given time.There is plenty of space to sit or lounge while you mingle with the adorable kitties all of which are available for adoption, by the way! If you are looking to bring younger children with you, they are more than welcome. Supervised small children that are familiar with cats and understand gentle petting will love this. The only age restrictions were to pick up the cats. Children aged 7 and up are allowed to pick up the cats in the main area. Most of the kittens have just been spayed and neutered, so picking them up is not allowed but don't worry those kittens love to climb all over you!The beverages and pastry treats are perfect and refreshing for the environment they even have beer and wine for those old enough! It's certainly not.a place you go just for the drinks and food, but the drink menu is fun and variety filled and the treats are small and perfect for this type of environment.You can tell how much the owners, workers, and volunteers love these cats, and their passion for their mission is clear in their service and their knowledge of all the cats, their names, and their personality. Everyone working here wants you to have a good time, give these cats some love, and for the cats to be cared for. The application process, while some may find it strict, is necessary and aligns with the mission of this cat cafe and rescue. They are very gentle and thoughtful with their application process, which means it may take some time. Don't expect to come in and walk out with a cat that same day. This cafe takes the adoption to a forever home very seriously, and I really respect that.If you're looking for something different and fun to do in St. Augustine that is also for a good cause, and a lot of kitty snuggles, I highly recommend Frisky Cat Cafe! Thank you Scott and crew for giving us a wonderful time.Kid friendliness: Great for kids that are used to a cat friendly environment.

Visiting from NY spent the day in St. Augustine thought what a cute experience to do while we waited for the rain to pass. The staff were super friendly informative. All the cats were sweethearts friendly, it was honestly a great way to spend a few hours in the afternoon, not to mention my Torti iced latte was delicious !

Avoid this place, they are unprofessional and discriminatory (ageist).The guy with the sling on his arm (David) was talking about kicking a cat because the poor thing was being feisty around him. They need to be looked into for possible animal abuse. He actually said he would hurt the cat with several customers around. Disgusting.The woman was on the phone with a potential customer, who she proceeded to gossip about after hanging up. They discriminate based on age here. A 77 year old customer, and his wife, wanted to adopt a kitten from this place, but the woman has deemed him too old and denied his application. I know several elders who are perfectly capable of raising animals, the way the woman was talking about this man was immature and uncalled for. Nice to know you treat people who want to support your business like garbage...Only the barista girl was pleasant to be around. She did a good job and the boba was delicious. She is the only reason y 'all get a star, that and the cats are cute.

Came here with my best friend and our kids after searching for something to do in St. Augustine and WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! The staff there was phenomenal, kind, and very patient! The entire cafe was lovely: clean, modern, and you can tell the cats are loved and socialized and they are passionate about them being adopted to the right family. So many goodies to choose from as well, and they are non profit, so every cent goes back into taking care of these sweet cats. Def make this a stop on your trip!!!!

All I have to say is WOW!!! What a beautiful, amazingly wonderful spot. The rooms are so cheery and clean, the coffee and macarons are delicious, and ofcourse the cats take the cake! My family thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we will definitely be back. Everybody needs to come visit this nonprofit pronto! :
