The Cafe

a welcoming place for all

What to Expect

Our space is split into two sections: the cafe and the cat lounge.

  • The Cafe: Entry into the cafe is free, with no cats. In the cafe, you will find our order counter, plenty of seating, and restrooms similar to a regular coffee shop. Journey down the hall, and you will find the entrance to our cat lounge, along with a large picture window for viewing!

  • The Cat Lounge: There is a nominal cost to enter the cat lounge, which helps us provide the best for our adoptable rescue kitties during their time with us. Here, you will find our cats, comfy seating, and a relaxing environment.

Visiting the Cat Lounge

You may pre-book time in the cat lounge online through our website or in person at the order counter. Visits are 50 minutes and begin at the top of every hour. A team member will meet you at the entrance to the cat lounge to ensure you have signed your waiver and reviewed the ground rules and then welcome you into the cat lounge!

The Atmosphere

We seek to provide a respite from the daily hustle and bustle by creating a peaceful and relaxing environment for our guests and cats. At Wired Whisker, you will find cozy seating areas, hear soothing music, and be among others looking for a sanctuary with chill vibes.

The Cats

All cats in our cat lounge are from Minnesota rescues, looking for loving homes. Each cat has a unique personality and is monitored by experienced staff and volunteers to ensure the social setting of a cat cafe is the best fit for that cat. You may see cats popping in and out of a staff-only room, which is called the Decompression Room. Here, our cats can retreat to a quieter setting should they feel overstimulated by our visitors. This room is open to the cats 24/7, allowing them to come and go on their terms.

Food and Drinks

While the cats are the stars, the cafe part of our business will not be forgotten! You can expect a full coffee and beverage menu as well as baked goods and snacks. Drinks and food items purchased at Wired Whisker are allowed in the cat lounge, but keep your muffins close in hand as cats may be interested. Feeding the cats human food or cat food/treats is not allowed. Our cats are well fed with closely monitored and portioned feedings to ensure their health and well-being! Outside food is not allowed anywhere inside Wired Whisker.

Tips for Your Visit

  • Book in advance: While walk-ins are welcome, we strongly recommend booking your visit online to ensure availability.

  • Respect the cats’ space: When visiting our cat lounge, follow the ground rules, be gentle, and heed a cat’s body language. If a cat walks away, it is best to let them be.

  • Capture the moments: We want you to take as many photos and videos of our adorable cats as you like; however, please ensure your flash is turned off, as this can disturb the cats.

We hope your visit combines relaxation with the joy of interacting with cats. Who knows…you might just find your next family member! Whether you’re a cat enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon, visiting Wired Whisker will surely be a memorable outing. So, sip back and enjoy your new feline hosts' comforting purrs and playful antics.
