Knoxville has their very own cat cafe! Scruffy’s Cafe opened in June 2020, in the the midst of the pandemic. Scruffy’s Cafe is the fourth cafe in Tennessee, joining the state’s already thriving cat cafes in Nashville, Chattanooga, and Murfreesboro. Surely the state’s third largest city should have their very own cat cafe!
Lo-CAT-tion: Knoxville
Scruffy’s Cafe is located in a stand-alone building on North Broadway with ample, easy parking. Local fave K-Brew is just a three minute walk away and the Happy Holler Historic District is just around the corner. Scruffy’s lives up to it’s goal: “bring more light and love” to the neighborhood.
Scruffy’s Cafe Vibe: Magical
Scruffy’s Cafe is a warm and friendly place to visit with adoptable Knoxville cats. A couple thoughtful features at Scruffy’s are a Game Corner and lending library or book nook. They also have excellent snacks and drinks. What makes Scruffy’s different? Scruffy’s gives special attention to people. As they proclaim, they are “people focused, cat obsessed!” This dual appreciation is well noted by Scruffy’s fans. “Amazing” is how fans consistently describe Scruffy’s. The friendly and paws-itive ambience is carried through to all they do. Look for their Kitten Around Comedy Nights!
