Cat Therapy

"A Purr-fect Experience at Kat Therapy in Santa Barbara I recently had the opportunity to visit Kat Therapy in Santa Barbara, and I can't help but express my deep gratitude for this wonderful sanctuary. For those seeking a peaceful retreat filled with feline friends, this is the place to be. Kat Therapy isn't just a cat house; it's a haven for both humans and cats alike. From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped in a serene atmosphere where cats roam freely, play, and nap as they please. The joy of interacting with these lovely creatures is immeasurable. It's a unique experience where you can sit and cuddle with a cat, play with a group of them, or simply observe their quirky behaviors—all while they enjoy a safe and loving environment. What's truly admirable about Kat Therapy is its mission. The cats here are adoptable, and the whole point of this establishment is to provide cat therapy while also finding forever homes for these adorable animals. The small fee for entry is a small price to pay for the happiness and relaxation you receive in return. Moreover, this fee goes directly towards the care of the cats, including their food and maintenance, ensuring that they can continue rescuing cats from shelters. The staff at Kat Therapy deserve a special mention for their dedication and the success they've achieved in the adoptions. Their passion for the welfare of these cats is evident in the way they maintain the space and care for the animals. It's clear that they are not just doing a job; they are fulfilling a calling to make a difference in the lives of both pets and people. During my visit, I was touched by the tranquility and therapeutic atmosphere that only the presence of cats can provide. It's a heartwarming experience to see cats who may have once been without a home now receiving love and attention, with the potential to join a loving family. In conclusion, Kat Therapy in Santa Barbara is more than just a cat cafe—it's a community service and a therapeutic getaway rolled into one. Whether you're a cat lover, looking for some stress relief, or considering adding a feline to your family, this place is a must-visit. You'll leave with a full heart, knowing that your patronage helps keep this beautiful cycle of rescue and adoption going. I wholeheartedly recommend Kat Therapy to anyone looking for a dose of joy and the chance to make a positive impact on the lives of these charming animals."

"The kitties here are so cute and staff was really kind. Parking in the city lot is limited when busy and you’ll have to wait when someone exits to be forwarded in by the gate. 75 minutes free and after you’ll have to pay. Lots of great shops and walkable. Not an area made for cars."

"What a grate place! I would highly recommend coming in for an hour to get your dose of Cat Therapy! Very therapeutic to sit with all the lovely cats and just chill. Staff is very knowledgeable about all the cats and the gift shop is cute! All the money goes to a grate cause to helping safe more cats from being euthanized. Oh and if you happen you find that special cat and you are able to adopt you can do so!"

"I loved it. Perfect for cat persons that can’t own a cat for whatever the reason (ME). Perfect to sit relax and enjoy the environment. It was fairly clean as clean as you can have a cat area. You get in pay, take your shoes off, put the optional socks they offer if you want or not. You get in the cat area, sit down anywhere and wait for the cats to come to you or you can sit near them and wait patiently for their cuddles. There’s a $12 15 min option or an hour for I forgot the $$ amount. I recommend it to anyone that is an animal lover or cat lover. Enjoy!!!"

"I came for a visit this past Sunday for a private party and had such a great time. It is a very comfortable space, and the cats are so sweet. There were cats with all different types of personalities and it was really relaxing experience. I hope to visit again soon!"
