My daughter & I had a most enjoyable time with the cats when we visited. Very relaxing; fun & fulfilling.

absolutely loved this place! was able to adopt Dorothy (now Nala) today after visiting just yesterday and the lovely workers there made the process so easy and were so kind. would definitely recommend adopting or just visiting here!

Found my kitty, Otis (formerly Puddy Tat) there and he has been the greatest addition to mine, and my other kitties, lives. They are very friendly and helpful while you decide which cat is the best fit for you. Highly.recommend adopting a cat, or 2, from them.

Had a good time at Nine Lives Cafe. It is so nice to have a place that set up for adoption like this. You do have to make reservations to be with the cats so it is not a spur of the minute kind of activity for a group of more than 2. They had a nice cafe with special lattes and treats and you can seat and see the cats from the window. Pple came in complaining of a smell, but it is a cat cafe so this is expected to some degree but was not overbearing for myself.

Purrrrfectly Awesome. Incredible business that helps kitties and lets you hang out with them while enjoying coffee and treats. You make a reservation and then spend some quality time with some of the most loving kitty cats in Indianapolis. You go into their environment and these little babies come up and interact with you. This is a cool cat cafe and we stop by every time we are in Indianapolis.

Very fun and interesting experience. The cats are separated from the Cafe so it is sanitary. I am happy to support a business that finds homes for cats.

I'm a man and a cat lover.I expected a pompous, expensive, overpriced coffee shop peppered with gorgeous fat lazy cats.This café smells like a giant litter box. The idea of sipping a warm beverage in this place makes my stomach churn. My partner and I left immediately.I don't know why I didn't expect this.Charge far, far more...style and ventilate. Imagine a boutique version of the same concept. I can't afford to drink expensive coffee, but I would certainly spend money in a place like that. I'd likely recommend it to everyone.Great concept.

I LOVE IT!!! As a cat lover and pastry lover, 9 Lives Cat Cafe checks all the boxes. They have 17 cats, 16 of them you can adopt. My personal favorite was Meone (the one looking out the window). If you want a place to chill with feline friends, definitely visit. 1,000,000/10 would visit again.

It was nice to watch the cats as I drank a great cup of coffee the cats are in a separate location and you don't smell their area either when you come in. An appointment is needed if you want to physically touch the cats. You can also adopt the cats.
