Come for the coffee.
Stay for the cats. Leave with a little more whimsy in your life.
The Whimsy Kitty is a little place where coffee, creativity, and cats come together.
One cup & one cat
at a time.
Located in Richmond, Kentucky, The Whimsy Kitty is more than a business for our family, it is a dream we are creating together.
Our café offers specialty coffee, beverages, and desserts alongside a cozy, whimsical cat lounge where guests can relax, play, and connect with adoptable cats. Every cat who calls The Whimsy Kitty home will be available for adoption, giving our guests the opportunity to form a connection that could become something much more—a forever friendship.
We hope to make The Whimsy Kitty a place that feels personal and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door. A place our community can enjoy, and our cats can call home while they wait for their forever families.
Our partnership with local animal-rescue organizations is at the heart of what we do. By providing adoptable cats with a comfortable, welcoming environment where they can interact with potential families, we hope to help more cats find loving homes while supporting the important work of our local rescue community.
The Whimsy Kitty is designed to feel a little magical—filled with greenery, flowers, cozy places to curl up, and whimsical details that make the space feel like an escape from the ordinary. But at the center of it all are the cats.
People & cats,
being themselves.
We want The Whimsy Kitty to be a place where people and cats can both be themselves.
That means creating a space where children can learn to interact respectfully with animals, adults can relax and enjoy the experience, and our cats can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they wait for their forever homes.
Thank you for helping us make The Whimsy Kitty a happy space for all to enjoy.
What drives us.
Feline Welfare First
Our lounge is designed around the needs of our cats: climbing walls, quiet sleeping quarters, and strict visitor limits so every cat feels safe and relaxed.
Second Chances
We partner with local rescue organizations to give rescued, abandoned, or surrendered cats a second chance at finding a loving forever home.
Craft & Comfort
From ethically sourced specialty coffee to house-baked pastries and brunch plates, we bring equal care to what's in your cup as who's on your lap.
Community Sanctuary
A cozy haven for book readers, remote workers, cat lovers, and community events like kitten yoga and quiet writing hours.
