Located in the heart of Bend, Oregon, Playful Paws Cat Café offers a cozy and inviting space where visitors can enjoy the company of adoptable cats while enjoying delicious, pre-packaged beverages and snacks. As the first cat café in Central Oregon, Playful Paws has quickly become a beloved spot for locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re a cat enthusiast, a potential adopter, or simply looking for a unique experience, Playful Paws has something special for you.
Playful Paws has a Mission with Heart
Playful Paws Cat Café is more than just a place to relax with cats—it’s a community hub with a mission. The café partners with local animal shelters, primarily the Cascade Canine Rescue East & West (CCREW), to provide a temporary home for cats looking for their forever families. This partnership ensures that every cat in the café is adoptable, giving them a second chance at finding a loving home. The café’s commitment to animal welfare extends beyond just housing cats; it also serves as an advocate for responsible pet ownership and animal rescue.
Adoption is a core aspect of Playful Paws Cat Café. The café has successfully facilitated numerous adoptions, helping cats find loving homes and freeing up space for more rescues. If you’re interested in adopting, the café provides a seamless process. Staff members are knowledgeable about each cat’s history, temperament, and needs, helping you find the perfect match.
The Café Experience
When you step into Playful Paws, you’ll immediately feel the warm, welcoming atmosphere. While the establishment is thoughtfully designed with both cats and humans in mind. Comfortable seating areas are scattered throughout the space, providing perfect spots for cat cuddles or a quiet moment with a book. The café offers a selection of cold drinks and minimal pre-packaged snacks. They also serve canned local beers and wine for adult visitors to enjoy. Sip on your favorite drink while watching the cats play, nap, or explore their environment.
The cats at Playful Paws are the stars of the show. Each cat is carefully selected for its temperament and ability to adapt to the café environment. They are free to roam the space, interact with visitors, or retreat to their private areas if they need some quiet time. This setup not only allows the cats to express their natural behaviors but also gives potential adopters a chance to see the cats’ personalities in a relaxed setting.
Attend Special Events and Plan Private Visits
In addition to daily visits, Playful Paws hosts a variety of events that cater to both cat lovers and the broader community. These events include yoga sessions with cats, painting nights, and even special themed parties. The café is also available for private events, making it a unique venue for birthdays, gatherings, or any occasion that could benefit from the presence of some friendly felines.
A Community-Focused Approach
Playful Paws Cat Café is deeply rooted in the Bend community. By partnering with local shelters and vendors, the café supports small businesses and animal welfare organizations. The café’s merchandise shop offers cat-themed products for visitors to take home as a memento of their time there. A portion of the proceeds from merchandise sales goes directly to supporting the care of the cats, ensuring that they receive the best possible care while they await adoption.
