I can't say enough about Paws Awhile Cat Cafe. We didn't order any food, but when we checked in, the owner was SO KIND. The little gift shop area has so many options and they are all cat themed. We didn't have a reservation, but they had availability to purchase the 30 min visit we had hoped for. There are a lot of beautiful cats and the place was very clean. There are no cat odors and a very impressive family-friendly area. The concept of this location is heartwarming. From what I understand, the cats ( some or all?) come from Paws Middle Georgia, and the dedication of the volunteers makes me proud to have adopted from them. I could go on and on but moral of my review...THIS PLACE IS a MUST SEE We also met some very kind cat lovers during our visit as well

This place is all about the cats! There is a small fee to go spend time with them, and most all of them are adoptable. They had 18 cats there when we visited. It was not crowded and we walked right in on a Saturday afternoon. It is extremely clean, and the cats are mostly friendly! The "cafe" portion is prepackaged muffins and canned drinks... You can eat a snack with the cats if you choose, but you would be better off buying a snack FOR the cats... You are there for them anyway, right?

I visited the cat cafe for a Yoga with Cats event. It was my first time but I'll definitely be back. The decor is so cute and inviting and the entire place is super clean and smells amazing! All the cats are very well cared for. You can tell there's a lot of effort put in to make this cat cafe a clean, safe, and fun place for people and cats.

Easily the best cat cafe i’ve been to. The cats were very sweet and friendly and that is because the environment is very cat friendly- it’s not overstimulating, lots of natural light and quiet music, and plenty of toys and stuff to climb on. Other cafes I’ve been to the cats weren’t friendly because unfortunately the environment was not adequate. This cafe however, is amazing. Staff was very friendly and we had a great time!

Love a cat cafe!! Didn't get any food, but I believe that had little cafe snacks and drinks. I just went for the cats and planned to eat a big meal afterwards. The decor was amazing and they had plenty of activities and enrichment for the cats. There was an abundance of toys and plenty of places to sit! My favorite were the window hammocks! I cannot wait to go back during an evening session with adults only. The group of four children that were there were feral. They ran the whole time, scaring most of the cats into hiding. They were picking the cats up and not putting them down when the cats wanted. I had to ask one kid to not put the laser pointer on me. These children were not unsupervised, they had adults with them. I believe the age is 7 and up and I don't think all the kids were that old. Overall, I'm very excited to go back and love on some adoptable cats and kittens in a calmer environment.

This place is magical! I loved the idea and playing with th cats is very relaxing. After driving for 3 hours to come here, I can say: it is totally worth it.

Great place! We paid $8 per person for 30 minutes in the cat area as a walk-in. You can call ahead or use the website to book ahead if you want a longer time. They offer painting, crochet, etc classes and also groups. The kitties are all super sweet and the room is set up amazingly for them. Lots of seating for people as well as kitty furniture, toys, and brushes- and the litter boxes are in their own room.

We had the best afternoon at Paws Awhile. The space was absolutely spotless and the owner was incredibly friendly. We paid for the hour pass not thinking we would use the whole time but even after an hour we were reluctant to leave. The cat room is set up so comfortably and provides the best cast watching. We can't wait to go back and visit again.
