🐾 Cat Cafe Maui: A Unique and Heartwarming Maui Activity
A Relaxing Blend of Cats, Community, and Compassion, located in the Queen Ka‘ahumanu Center in Kahului. Have you visited the Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary but want more cat time while on Maui? Cat Cafe Maui offers a one-of-a-kind Maui activity where relaxation meets feline companionship. Since its debut in August 2022, the café has become a welcoming haven for cat lovers and a powerful advocate for pet adoption on the island.
A Cozy Haven for Cat Lovers
Cafe Maui provides a peaceful environment where guests can unwind alongside adoptable cats from the Maui Humane Society. The space is thoughtfully designed with toys, climbing structures, and cozy nooks—keeping the cats happy and the visitors entertained.
Whether you’re engaging in play or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a sleeping cat, the experience is therapeutic, especially for those unable to own pets due to housing restrictions. It’s the perfect place to get your “kitty fix” while supporting a meaningful cause.
Supporting Cat Adoptions in Maui
More than just a place to hang out with cats, Cat Cafe Maui plays a vital role in the local community working with the Lāna‘i Cat Sanctuary and the Maui Humane Society. All cats at the café are available for adoption, giving guests a chance to connect with a future furry family member in a relaxed and natural setting.
The café also hosts creative events like “Meowvie Nights”, where guests can watch a movie while cuddling with cats—making adoption and socialization efforts fun and memorable.
Know Before You Go
- Reservations: Booking ahead is recommended, especially during weekends and holidays.
- Dress Code: Guests must remove shoes and wear clean socks. Forgot your socks? No problem—pairs are available for purchase.
- Fees: A small fee covers a 50-minute session and helps fund the cats’ care and daily operations.
