Wisconsin Cat Cafes

Wisconsin is home to six cat cafes. As a true cat lover destination,  Wisconsin also boasts  an utterly unique cat figurine mew-seum with resident cats and a must-see catio, located outside of Milwaukee. Rounding out the cat-tractions is a Green Bay pet sanctuary that offers cuddles with adoptable cats five days a week.

Could Wisconsin go from being America’s dairyland to America’s cat land? It could happen as Wisconsin cat cafes start to pop up across the state. On the road to becoming America’s Cat  Land, Wisconsin cat cafes are on the leading edge of national cat cafe trends:

Not a Cat Cafe (Yet) But a Must for Cat People: Redner’s Rescued Cat Figurine Mewseum

And now for something completely different! While we are devoted to cat cafes, this Wisconsin cat destination is so extraordinary, so crazy, so wondrous that it would be an actual crime to not share. Redner’s Rescued Cat Figurine Mewseum is a cat lover’s purradise devoted to all things feline.  Housing over 5,000 unique cat items, 9 actual  resident cats, and a dream catio, Redner’s is one of kind -and only in Wisconsin. Owners Shawn & Hilary Redner have ambitions to expand the Mewseum to include a cat cafe with adoptable cats. Check out their monthly open houses or make an appointment.

Does Madison Have a Cat Cafe?

The bustling college town of Madison has everything. Everything but a cat cafe. Cat cafe devotees may recall the wonderful Cat Cafe Mad, which had a great run on Monroe Street. When extended construction on Monroe cut their foot traffic and revenue by 75%, the cafe closed and left fans without a local cat cafe. Until now! 

Happily, the Madison area once again has a cat cafe with the opening of The Cat’s Brew in Sun Prairie. The Cat’s Brew is the brainchild of Heather Wipijewski and Liz Brey, who have created a full, stand-alone coffee shop and separate comfortable cat lounge. As veterinary technicians, the ladies bring expert cat and animal behavior experience to planning and running the cat lounge.
