Denver Cat Company, Denver, Colorado

One of the oldest cat cafes in the US with its founding in 2014, Denver Cat Company celebrates cats and the cafe culture. Owner Leila Qari left her job as an attorney when she fell in love with the cat cafes of Europe and Japan.

A celebration of the divine feline, customers at The Denver Cat Company can sip on coffee or tea, from merrily mismatched mugs, nom on an array of baked goodies and curl up with a good book from the facility’s used bookstore/free lending library.

The cafe also has its own rescue! In 2019, Denver Cat Rescue, the café’s non-profit rescue arm, was founded, providing the café with its adoptable cats.

Along with the chance to savor a coffee klatch with fellow fans of felines, The Denver Cat Company also offers patrons clicker training sessions and social painting classes for those who want to tap into their inner Pi’cat’sso.
