Pet Stores

Naughty Cat Cafe is a cat lounge in the St. Elmo neighborhood at the base of Lookout Mountain, where visitors spend time with adoptable rescue cats. The cafe works as a large foster home for local shelter and rescue partners, and its website says it typically cares for 30 or more cats at a time. Visits to the lounge last up to an hour, and the site recommends reserving ahead because lounge space is limited. Guests must be at least 11, and those under 16 need an adult with them. A self-serve coffee and tea bar sits outside the cat room, with packaged treats from local bakery Cupcake Kitchen plus local beer and hard ciders. Every cat is up for adoption through its partner shelter, and applications are filled out at the cafe. The lounge can also be reserved for private parties.
