Sip & Purr cat cafe opening June 1, and you'll have to pay to cuddle with kittens

Sarah Hauer | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The first cat cafe in Milwaukee, Sip & Purr, has set its opening date.

Customers will be able to cuddle with kittens, if that's what you're into, starting June 1. The cafe at 2021 E. Ivanhoe Place will have coffee, wine, snacks and, obviously, cats.

The cafe itself will be cat-free. Felines will stay in the Cat Lounge, where customers can choose to bring their small bites and sweet treats. Cats at Sip & Purr will be available for adoption from the Lakeland Animal Shelter.

Sip & Purr will charge an admission fee for the Cat Lounge. One hour of cuddle time is $8.48 per person. The price on opening day is higher, $21.20. Sip & Purr takes reservations for the Cat Lounge on its website sipandpurr.com. Rules for the Cat Lounge are also posted there.
