All About the Cat Purrs
Here at Cool Cats Cafe and Lounge we are here to provide a warm, cozy, caring, and safe place for everyone to enjoy the bond and companionship of our amazing rescue cats.
At the cafe all our cats come to us from Onslow County Animal Shelter and Carolina Animal Protection Society.
A big thank you to both organizations for making this possible and for everything they do for our animals in our community.
Who We Are
We are a family business. In spring of 2026 while on spring break vacation with our children we discovered a little café in Florida with a small-town vibe in a bigger city hustle. It was a cozy café style setting. Within this setting they had a separate lounge for customers to schedule time to sit, visit, and interact with rescue cats and kittens in their own comfy setting. While sat with our beverages and watched our children play and interact with all the foster cats. We thought to ourselves that this would be an absolutely perfect establishment for the Jacksonville/ Onslow County area. So here we are! We have created our own version of the Jacksonville area to experience what we did! We welcome you to our cozy little spot and welcome you to enjoy our rescue cats!

I enjoy smelling the flowers each day
Taking long naps in between creating chaos is my purrfect pastime
Always… always… look cute for my fans
