Get A Gato

Amazing Cat Cafe in South Philly! I recently visited Get A Gato after seeing them on instagram and other socials for a while. My day off fell on one of their midweek specials where 1hr admission is only $9 when you book through their website. The staff was super nice and helped you engage with/learn about all of the cats. I went at 10am and the cats were a good mix of playful, interactive, and chill. There are plenty of places to sit, cat themed books to read, binders full of their past cat adoptions, and cat toys. This is a great place to go if you’re looking to pet cats or just do your own thing around them. Their small cafe is also great with small treats and good drinks. I got their matcha latte with mango puree and it was perfectly creamy and sweet (they take the time to actually whisk the matcha rather than just stir it in like many other places)! I will definitely be back for another mental health day/relaxing day!

NOTE: there are steps to get into the cat cafe, BUT they can provide a portable ramp upon request. I checked out Get A Gato this weekend while on a brief trip to Philly. I was thoroughly impressed with the cat experience! It was easy to make a reservation in advance and the staff were very helpful with providing instructions on how to engage with the cats. I've been to a number of cat cafes and this was the first one I've been to that had a collar system to tell you how to interact with the cats. I really appreciates this boundary for the cats and attendees. I also loved that you could pay for a Churu at a very reasonable price for the cats to enjoy. I thought the cost of the experience aligned with the amount of time you could spend with the cats, and it was nice that you had the option to still watch the cats if you wanted to be in the cafe. 10/10 would visit again!

Really great drinks, caring staff and incredible kitties! Stopped by last week when I was in town and the ube matcha was divine! Now I’m back in Atlanta plotting to go back cuz I need that matcha again and I want to try all of the other drinks! The staff are so knowledgeable about each cat, knowing all of their little quirks and making sure that the right safety precautions are taken. Can’t wait to come back!!!

This was so much fun! My daughter is 10 and she loved it! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cats were awake, playing, and sleeping. Such sweet cats and we gave them a snack and they all came over grabbing with their cute cat paws. The hot chocolate was good according to my daughter. This is a must.

I have been going to this cat cafe for years and finally adopted my first cat with them recently. Her name was Latoya when she was adopted, but now her name is Tilly (short for Matilda). I always have a pleasant experience: the coffee and tea is always so good, the gift shop is adorable, and the cat cafe is always so well maintained, plus the staff is always friendly! I believe the price to be fair for an hour inside the cat lounge, and there are plenty of events that you can sign up for to be a part of the get a gato community!! I 100% recommend being a regular here and adopting with them!

I really enjoyed coming here, the drinks were delicious and i liked that they had both an area with the cats and then a separate area where you could come in and just have a drink or a lil snack. I was super happy to see that the cats were very loved and well taken care of and their living area was super clean. You can tell that the people working and helping out really care. I also enjoyed the coding system they had for the kitties and their well detailed introductions and pictures. I will definitely be back again and again!!
