We are here to provide the community with a comfortable environment that they can destress and relax with a cup of coffee and a kitty! We want to make sure that everyone has a safe place to go, full of people (and cats!) you can trust.
There are enough bars in our town where people can go to party, but we're here to offer a breath of fresh air where students can study, people can gather, and kitties can go to furr-ever homes!
Our Merch Store, BC Purrada, is Open and Accepting Orders!
If you love cats and coffee as much as we do, check out our Merch Store for unique pieces made mostly by local small businesses.
We have clothing, jewelry, home goods, and so much more, just waiting to find it's own furr-ever home!
*Our Booking System Will Start Taking Reservations Shortly Before Our Opening. Please Subscribe to Our Mewsletter and Socials to Keep Up to Date!*
We feel that the best way to ensure the happiness of both our kitties and their guests is to limit the number of visitors to 15 at a time.
There is no assigned seating in the Pawlor, so even with a reservation, spots are first come, first serve. Guests can order food and drink from our website/app and notified when it's ready to be picked up.
We will not be offering to go orders to guarantee quality over quantity. There's lots of other great spots to get a to go coffee, bubble teas, or smoothies on Center St!
We are proud to announce we are paw-tnering with the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin to help our mission achieve even more furr-ever homes!
We will be offering Same Day Adoptions, and have everything you need to bring your new friend home. Check out Our Cats page to learn more!

If we're going to put anything out in the community, we want it to be good, whole foods and drinks that come from local, fresh sources.
When you eat well, you're not just feeding your stomach, you're feeding your whole self, and we want to make sure we have something everyone is able to enjoy. From BaristaCats to you, enjoy daily fresh pastries from our very own local chef and small business owner, Pastries by Chad. Ask how to get a hold of a card!
We have our own coffee and tea blends, courtesy of Lake Geneva Coffee Roastery. Want a bag to take home? We sell them in our online shop! Along with many other really pawsome merch!
We're proud to be joining the Whitewater Chamber of Commerce so we have a paws-itive impact on the community!
Most of our products in store are from local small businesses, and we will continue to try to make connections and support those who deserve it most.
The people who live here have been so kind to us, and given us so much, and we can't wait to return the favor!
I owe my entire inspiration & idea to the wonderful cat cafés I visited across England while I was on my journey for the month of August in 2021. From the sweet Paddington and kitties at Cat Café in Liverpool to the loving Empress Matilda and crew at Coffee Cats in Lincoln; and so many more.
It left my so heart full and I came back to Wisconsin and said, we need more of these. So when I came home, I did some research and realized we only had two others in the state, I got to work.
We will work closely with The Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin, my goal is to help re-home and place as many cats and kittens as possible. As we all know the greater need for this in our area. Getting cats the medical attention they need from spay and neutering to standard care is important as well as finding their furr•ever homes.
In the meantime, while we are helping cats, cats are helping us. Did you know, a cat purring on our lap has the same healing abilities as most drugs in the world, as the vibrations you’re receiving are purrre love and contentment! These same vibrations also help cats heal their own bones!! There’s been studies for decades showing the positive impact cats have for our mental wellbeing. From the positive calming effects of petting, to fulfilling your need for companionship or even have helped save owners lives in some situations.
These furry friends are pawtastik in so many ways. The list just goes on and on.
Come find your furr•ever friend today! 🐾
