1. Catfeine Cat Cafe — Murfreesboro
Right in the heart of Murfreesboro, Catfeine has become the go-to spot for anyone who wants their coffee with a side of purring. This place partners with local roasters to serve up quality drinks while giving rescue cats a comfortable space to show off their personalities. The setup feels more like a friend’s living room than a traditional shelter, which helps the cats relax and lets visitors see what they’re really like.
Walk in and you’ll find cats of all ages and temperaments stretched out on cat trees, curled up in cozy beds, or investigating whoever just arrived. Some might hop right into your lap within minutes, while others prefer to observe from their favorite perch before deciding you’re worth their time. The staff knows each cat’s story and can help match you with a potential new family member if adoption is on your mind…
