Let me be completely honest. I came in for the cats, and I was not disappointed. Loved everyone single cat there today. I was right away greeted with friendly service and asked what drink I would like. They gave me a variety of drink options some with caffeine and some without. Then I was taken to the room. They provide a description of each cat at the back wall and have a handful of toys that you can use. I was able to pet every single cat but my only suggestion is let them come to you. Do not try to force an interaction with them. There was someone else there who tried and all the cats seem to want nothing with him. However I sat down and a cat literally came up to me first. I loved being there and will definitely come back. Remember everyone adopt don’t shop!

Fantastic! We had a great time at Frisky Business. The owners are kind and passionate, and greeted us with excitement. You get any drink you want, which they bring to you in the cat room— and they take great care to have good coffee, matcha, and really nice drinks in the fridge. There were 10 kitties, as two had just been adopted. At first they were mostly napping, but they warmed up to us as we coaxed them out and played with them. It was extra fun to give them treats and earn more trust. I will be back absolutely any time I’m in the area! Didn’t get many photos because I was too busy enjoying the cats. Great vegan options!!

One of the best new additions to Palm Springs! If you think you "know" Palm Springs, think again and visit Frisky Business - a place based on community, kindness and helping the kitties too (approaching 100 adoptions at this writing)Some may balk at the idea of paying to enter the cat room and interact with cats, but it is worth it as a unique and unforgettable experience. TIP: dive into the website for info on discounted times and offerings and pay-it-forward options. Even as cat lovers we've only paid to go into the cat lounge portion twice but you can simply watch the fun through the glass for free and treat this place as your new coffee hang-out. Best of all, clean and no-cat-smell - just lovely.We feel good supporting unique small businesses and Claire and Sonny are full of heart, community-building ideas and best of all give love to kitties, even those more senior cats who need love too. You won't regret a visit, even to check it out.

It was neat to watch.Claire and Sonny take great care of the Furbabies. Most of the cats are adoptable.I tried the Vegetarian Pastrami and it was awesome! For a small amount, you pay for the cat visit and you get a fresh coffee of your choosing. I had an iced latte with Vanilla. Very tasty!

Such a cute place! Stopped in today for some coffee and cats and this place did not disappoint! The owners are so passionate about their mission and we’re so sweet! The latte I had was AMAZING and now let’s talk about the cats! The cats in there today were so active and friendly! They were ready to play, cuddle, enjoy treats, or pose for pictures! It was just the dose of cuteness I needed before my drive out of Palm Springs! I highly suggest it to to any local or any traveler like myself looking for some kitty cuddles before hitting the road!

Amazing experience. Claire is so knowledgeable and intuitive and takes such good cares of these furry babes, most which have been overlooked at local shelters. Fell in love with all the cats and the drinks at the cafe were good too!!! Super organized and their mission is so admirable. Will be coming back and definitely encourage people to support and turn to them for adoption if you’re looking (:

Do you love coffee? Do you love cats? Do you love fun people? If you said yes to at least 2 of the 3 then this is a place you should go visit. A unique spot to have a cup of coffee and watch cats play with humans. I recommend getting a reservation ahead of time if you want to go into the "cat" room. Otherwise just stop by and enjoy. They have a partnership with the local shelter to adopt cats. It is also right next to a hiking trailhead which makes it a perfect stop before or after a hike.

Visited the Cat Cafe last weekend during their soft opening and what a wonderful experience! We loved it! It was so much fun being around the kitties! I think we met 9 that day! They all really love the Cafe as much as we did. It is a fantastic experience whether you want to just visit or adopt a kitty. the owner Claire is a wonderful and kind person for going all out on the Cafe, loved chatting with her. The cost for a visit includes a coffee and we chose an iced mocha and it was the BEST we've had in the city. The Barista was amazing and such a great mocha! Will be back again soon! Excellent Cat Cafe and Excellent Coffee Shop! So happy they are part of the community!

What a fun unique experience. Helping these adoptable cats that are there from the Palm Springs animal shelter. Make sure to buy the treats and the cats will be very happy to see you. The cat room is beautiful, clean, and no odor. Plenty of cat toys to interact with the cats. There is a fee to visit the cats, which helps pay for there care. Great time visiting them. They have coffee and some sweets. The staff was super friendly and added to the experience. This is a little hidden gem. I will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful time visiting this great cat cafe! They just opened in December 2022 and have already adopted over a dozen cats and saved several from a kill shelter nearby. The staff were so lovely! I’m visiting for a work trip and simply wanted to pet some cats - but you can adopt if you’re local!Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: There were several teens with their folks visiting at the same time. Definitely family-friendly

What a lovely cat cafe! If you are looking for a relaxing afternoon, swing by. The drinks are nice too and you can just look in but ofc the cat booking is the best option.The cats were lovely and very relaxed and happy, which is the sign of great care. The cats are also up for adoption so please consider adopting (socializing helps them get adopted). The view is nice too so good for a relaxing afternoon.

Came to visit Palm Springs all the way from Cincinnati and Frisky Business was no exaggeration our first stop when we got there, straight from the airport. Everything was perfect from arrival to the end. I've been to quite a few cat cafes across the world and this one definitely stands out at the top. The layout is clever and spacious, but not too big so you're able to get some intimate time with the cats (assuming they give it to you, which there was definitely no shortage of love and attention from these cats). Claire, the owner, made herself very accessible and even gave us tons of other recommendations of things to do while in town. You can tell she not only cares about the business but about the cats so so much. The complimentary beverage that came with entry was a lovely delicious touch, and the barista was a delight. 10/10, will definitely be back and i'll be singing their praises in the meantime.

This place is amazing and so is the owner and her team. If you love animals you need to check this place out. Not only is it a fun experience, but visiting this cafe also benefits the community (of cats and people, both!). The cafe is a great example of putting good intentions into action. Please visit and support! 5 stars for their great coffees.

I attended the soft opening today. I made reservations for the cat lounge online. The process was quick and easy to schedule on the website. There was a nice 15% discount offered today as well to all customers who signed up for the soft opening. This included all drinks, merchandise and cat lounge entrance fees. The decor is done in a basic black/white/gray color scheme in homage to the Palm Springs “modernism” theme; but there are cute accents of fuzzy furniture in the cat lounge and sparkly light fixtures.

Where does one start?!? The reasons to recommend this place are many, and varied! Firstly there is Claire (and her terrific husband Sonny). This fine couple have not only set up a wonderful, comfortable place where one can hang with personality-plus cats but, all of the residents are also up for adoption so you can also walk out with a new best friend/roommate. Also there is the genuine kindness of these folks, who really want to make sure your visit is a happy and memorable one. Now aside from all that, the food and beverage items (which are just delicious) are all products from local vendors using the highest quality ingredients; no corporate same ol', same ol'. So you have a top notch coffee house experience.....and.....cats! Kinda perfect. It's best to go online and reserve your time/space in the cat lounge as this place is going to be super popular. If you're a local, if you're a visitor, this is the place for a snack and a snuggle!

This is the most charming community cafe, whether we want a snack and drink at a table with a mountain or cat lounge view or we want to make a reservation to go into the lounge to visit some very cuddly and friendly felines.Claire and Sonny make the visit fun with their warm and generous hospitality. The coffee’s good, too!The regularly scheduled evening events, like bingo, book club and movie night are fun social occasions, too!

This cafe is so welcoming and inviting! We actually went here for a first date and it was the perfect way to see if a person is truly an animal lover. We had so much fun and even met the owner and saw two new cats being introduced to the space. Such a lovely sanctuary and vehicle to adopt out cats from the shelter!

We heard about this cat cafe on the plane while traveling to Palm Springs. It’s the first place we went to when we landed. Best choice ever. The owners are so giving and wonderful. The kitties are so cute. I wish we lived closer as we would be back weekly. As it is now, it will be a destination whenever we are in PS! Oh great hot chocolate!Kid-friendliness: Kitties are perfect for kids

Frisky Business is the coolest, and ONLY, cat cafe in Palm Springs. I stopped by for their soft opening and was immediately greeted with the sweet smell of coffee and cat cuddles. Claire did a beautiful job with the the decor not only for the guests, but the cats as well. All cats are available for adoption!Vegetarian options: Offers non dairy options :)

We were lucky enough to find the newly opened Frisky Business while visiting Palm Springs and we couldn’t be more impressed with this beautiful and spacious cafe! The lounge is fitted with lots of toys and cozy places for cats to play and hide, all designed in a chic grey and gold color palette. We were made very welcome and loved getting to meet the owner and the cats who are all lovely rescues waiting for their forever homes. We found it hard to resist Osborn! Definitely check this place out if you’re local and looking to adopt a cat or just visiting and need a feline fix with your coffee.

Frisky Business is the first, and only, cat cafe in the Coachella Valley! Frisky Business brings in cats from the Palm Springs Animal Shelter to help the cats get adopted - as of today, they have found homes for 71 cats. The cats completely open up and are loving and friendly in this environment, and they love to have people come in and play with them while enjoying a cup of coffee, tea, ice tea or tasty baked good or sandwich. Sonny and Claire own Frisky Business Cat Cafe and they have dedicated themselves to helping the community, so stop by soon and support this wonderful organization.

I’ve become a regular here. The coffee is great, and the cat lounge is amazing!I cannot stress enough how much I love this place.The cats get such good care from the owners, and they’re at 50 adoptions so far.If you’re looking for some cuddles with a cat, or even just a good cup of coffee, you should definitely consider coming in!They only sell merchandise from local independent businesses, so you’re bound to find some interesting food or soda.

I went today. Loved every minute! I love cats and they were all friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer! Staff was super nice and welcoming. Will definitely be going back to hang with the kitties.
