I'd been wanting to check one of these out so we immediately went inside. The first room is where you can place and order for a drink from the cafe and check in for your visit. We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us without a wait. Entry was $5 per person which I felt like was a good value. There are two floors of nooks, seating and of course cats! The best interactions seemed to be the natural ones. We sat down at a table with a game of scrabble and had a couple of visitors come by. Overall happy we did it and really enjoyed our visit! This could be a place to come back to many times. Free street parking

Passed this cute cat cafe on an antiquing day and stopped in for some lemonade and some pets. All…read moreof the cats (the awake ones) were quite friendly and 100% of the cats were sweet! The facility is cute! A downstairs and an awesome upstairs with windows, a large table, chairs, and the cars who just want to get away from it all (downstairs is smaller and busier). I had a lemonade and only stayed 10-15 minutes. I'm glad this place isn't full of cushions like the other local cat cafe I have visited. I think that must help with the hair and likely the aroma too. It does smell like an animal shelter in the combination of animal + recently cleaned scents. This did not bother me. My experience was not what the first reviewer's were, nor would I mind much if it had. (No shade to Karen; she should share her opinion of the place.) Gentle reader, if the cats happen to not be "friendly" or "social," consider that they were recently rescued from the euthanasia lists at local shelters. Maybe they're not used to being in a building with so many people coming, going, and letting them all day... Or being in a room with multiple cats. Or maybe it's just what they are like. Not all cats are extroverted. They can still make great pets. They're purrfect to me! Will be back with friends!

Cat lovers, come on down!…read more Clean cat cafe with lots of cats roaming around and playing that are adoptable. I was in trouble the moment I stepped inside. My husband and I already have 3 and I wanted to take more home I went with some friends who also love cats and their daughters. It was a great time. You reserve a time frame online. Be careful if you have children though, there is an allotted time frame for children below a certain age. We stayed for 30 min instead of an hour since one of the girls was below the age of 2. Super friendly staff, regular goers who were eager to share stories of the regular cats. An overall great experience. It would've been better if I took one home but I can't have zoo at my house even if my husband would approve

I walked into a local gem. If you like small, local, and eclectic, then Welcome!…read more I was looking for some specific Finch bird seed for a birthday present. I knew Diehl Feed South was close by. So, I decided to stop by. It was little like an Alice in Wonderland experience. Zoe the Cat peered at me atop a shelf by the front door - silently inspecting me, assessing my usefulness with the lazy blink of an eye, and immediately categorizing my character on behalf of her Proprietress as non-threatening, and thus free to browse the Wonderland that was her home. The store itself is just brimming from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. This is not a place for small children to run wild or adults who are cringe at one thing out of place. This is a place for folks who love slow shopping, almost forgotten small shops, controlled chaos, eclectic interests, hidden treasures, and all that celebrates the outdoorsy natural world. Diehl's has a little bit of this and that - from pets' treats and toys, to bird watching, feeding, and housing, to helping the bees and butterflies, to outside chimes, flags, and decorations, to gardening gadgets, to small animal feed, and more... I wandered the tiny aisles carefully, searching amid the crowded shelves like they were a Wonderland Maze - and cautiously because they are a bit precarious. Every inch and corner had something of curiosity or interest. I was there for a specific purpose though. Like Alice, I went down the proverbial Rabbit Hole, and began searching for my birdseed birthday treasure. With so much inventory, and so little knowledge of Finches, I decided to ask the Lady of the store for help. The Proprietress... well, you just need to meet her and chat! I was in the presence of an Elder who Knows Things and has the Power to Change the World for Good. She may be tiny in stature but definitely big in personality and full of Knowledge when you ask the Questions. She did not stop moving and working during my entire visit. Yet, she was very friendly and chatty as she multi-tasked, hefting heavy bags of feed and misc product around that weighed more than she did. She advised me on the selection of birdseed. We were supervised the entire time by Zoe, who must have deigned me worthy of her attention. I was allowed to offer pets and scritches, in between her sloe-eyed blinks. I believe Zoe knighted me a worthy Wonderland adventurer -- and paying customer. You will not hear any shrill shouts of a mad Queen spewing high prices or the annoying beeps of electronic bar codes being swiped. Rather, you'll have a lovely chat with a kind Lady at the counter, working hard beyond an expected age, giving you a Decent price, and silently offering a choice to donate to local charity at the counter with a jar collecting change. And yes, I found my specific birdseed and some feeders, with the delightful customer service by the Lady. I'll be back. I love shopping local and a good Wonderland adventure. Plus, I hear there are more cats! I need more Zoe pets and to meet the rest of her Wonderland party. ;)

All the volunteers and staff are beyond welcoming, and the cats are so sweet and playful. My eyes literally turn into hearts when I visit, and I'm always so excited to meet new kittens and cats to play with. Sometimes they only have 2-3 cats roaming around, and other times, there's 12 kittens running all over the place. The space is very open, and there's so many cute toys for the cats to play with. It's essentially a real-life neko atsume set-up (side note: if you love cute kitties, download this game. Trust me!). The storefront is open to the public Friday-Sunday from 12-5 pm, and it was such a lifesaver for me during my first year of PT school. There's nothing better than hanging out with cats after a hard week of school/tests. If you're interested in fostering cats, they run an awesome program. I recently applied to become a foster, and it's been incredibly rewarding. If you aren't in a position to adopt, I highly recommend that you look into fostering. P.S. they also have cat yoga once a month! I've never been because I always had class or another commitment at the same time, but that's definitely on my to-do list. I believe it's the first Wednesday of the month, and it costs $15 (+fees?), but it goes towards helping cats!

Hello, my name is Max, have we met? I love cats…read more Tenth Life is hands down one of the most awesome organizations in Saint Louis when it comes to rescuing cats. If you're going to adopt a cat, you've gotta come here and see what this place is all about. We heard about it through our friend who is a kitty foster for Tenth Life. There are often cats at their brick and mortar storefront on Cherokee Street, but there are also several cats that are being taken care of at foster homes all around the Saint Louis area by Tenth Life volunteers, or getting ready to be the right age to live at the Tenth Life storefront. The space is big, cozy, and has so many toys for the cats to play with and places for them to rest. You can tell that the staff is always keeping up with fresh food and water for the cats, and cleaning up after them. This cat rescue has a very detailed adopting process, and make it known that the employees and volunteers are there to support you in any way if you are adopting a cat from them. The mission they set out for and excellently accomplish is, "Giving cats the life they deserve." We recently adopted two four-month old kittens, brother and sister, and are so so happy we went through Tenth Life!
