🐾 Looking for a cozy family outing this fall?

We spent the afternoon at in📍Covington, KY — and it was just as relaxing (and adorable) as it sounds. 🐈

☕️ Inside, you can sip on coffee or a fall latte while spending time with the café’s adoptable cats.

🐱 The space is calm, inviting, and filled with cozy corners where cats nap, play, and peek out for cuddles.

The kids loved the playroom area — full of toys, tunnels, and friendly cats ready to interact. And for quieter moments, there were plenty of soft spots to sit, read, and gently pet sleepy cats.

💡Tiny Tourists Tip: Reservations are recommended — the café keeps a peaceful atmosphere and only allows a small group in at a time (perfect for families).

📍Purrfect Day Cat Café – Covington, KY
A unique mix of relaxation, coffee, and community — and a fun way for kids to learn about kindness toward animals.
