Lakeland’s latest business boom has brought us a creative biz making a paws-itive impact: Purrology Cat Cafe. The first of its kind in Swan City, this cafe lets guests interact with free-roaming cats up for adoption while you sip on specialty beverages, saving cats from being euthanized.

Our ex-paw-rience
City Editor Connor here. I visited the lounge to meet the cats for myself. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment and ordered an ube brown sugar latteand it tasted as good as it looked.

I had a full hour to pet and play with seven kittens, and one even tried to take a sip of my drink. The cats were very friendly, though some were a bit shyer than others and took their time warming up to me. They have plenty of toys and places to climb — it’s truly a cat’s purr-adise.

If we were cats, we would want to hang out here all day too.

Check Purrology’s Instagram account before your visit to see which cats are available in the cat room (they rotate out as others get adopted). If you want to get even more involved, the biz is always looking for volunteers.

Ready to book your visit? We have a feline you’ll enjoy it — just bring your lint roller.
