Absolutely love this place!! It is so nice to sit and bond with a cat before adopting and this place makes it easy! They have plenty of furniture to sit on while hanging with the cats. They helped us out and had no issues doing so. They are super friendly and even told us to message them for anymore help. (Not to mention the lovely selection of thrifted clothes to shop through!!) I LOVE to see a black AND queer owned business succeed 😩🙏🏼go support these lovely people!!

Visiting The Cat's Closet was such a treat! The business is split into two separate sections: a vintage clothing store and a cat lounge. You can browse the clothing selection for no charge (just like a typical shop), but to enter the cat lounge, a reservation is recommended and you'll need to pay a small fee.Their vintage clothing is in great condition, wonderfully well-organized, and very reasonably priced! I was also pleasantly surprised by how much of a plus-sized selection there was. And there's a rack dedicated to items with cats on them! There are dressing rooms you can use to try things on as well, which is always appreciated.The cat lounge was absolutely lovely! Since I went on a Tuesday it was only $2 to enter for 30 mins (every other day of the week its $7 for 30 mins). I was there at the end of the day and loved how part of the lounge was just lit by holiday lights. There's also an adorable little TV and a collection of 90s/2000s movies on VHS you can watch! All of that combined with the adorable decor throughout the lounge made for a really wonderful ambiance.The cats themselves are very friendly and all adoptable through Bloomington Animal Care and Control! They are clearly very well taken care of and have a little private back room away from people they can can access via cat door. There lounge also didn't have any unpleasant odors, which is always nice! And there are little info sheets in the lounge where you can read about all the cats.The owners were there when I visited and were both incredibly sweet! They were readily available and happy to answer any questions about the clothes or the cats.It is worth noting that this isn't a cat café in the sense that they don't sell any café drinks. But there are plenty of other cafés in the area where you could grab something before or after visiting! (Morgenstern's is a personal favorite of mine on that side of town.)Overall, I loved this place! I will definitely be back to visit several more times and look forward to catching one of their events at some point!

The owners are super friendly and really care about the cats! They have hosted tons of fun events- my favorite being the pumpkin painting one in October! If you’re in town you have to check this place out!!They also run a lot of sales in the vintage store as well as partner with some local artists!

Place smells well kept and the cats are delightful to be around. Even though vintage clothes aren't personally my style, the selection is good with a variety of sizes to meet your needs. Friendly ownership too! Ill be recommending this place to everyone I know

My friends and I visited The Cat’s Closet recently and are absolutely obsessed!! The owners were super nice and friendly and the clothes were awesome! Being plus size, I feel like it’s rare that I go into a vintage store and find things that fit me but I was SO surprised and impressed by their collection. We didn’t go into the cat lounge section of the store but it seemed clean and it also seemed like the owners really cared about the well-being of the cats that were in their care and about getting them adopted to the perfect home. Will most definitely be keeping up with their instagram so I can see when new drops come in!!! Can’t recommend this place enough:)

We loved this place. Cats are very nice and being taken care of. Owners love what they do and are very committed to giving cats a second chance.

The cat lounge is an awesome space where we played with Toby and Carlson (both already adopted) and the other cats. The staff and owners are wonderfully welcoming and friendly. The space is well-kept and you can tell the foster cats are well-taken care of. I follow them on instagram and love seeing the updates on adoptions and events!

Love the cats, clothes, and owners!! Definitely a new Bloomington gem. Had the greatest experience playing with the cats and always get compliments on the sweater I bought from them

This place is a community gem. The owners are kind, the facility is clean, the cats are well taken care of, and it's overall an immaculate vibe. Although I can't adopt (yet), I'll be coming back again, and again, and again...
