Coal Cat Café | Coffee, Cats & Community in Tamaqua
Coal Cat Café in Downtown Tamaqua offers more than just a coffee shop—it’s a cozy gathering spot where cats and community come together. Guests can sip a latte, enjoy a snack, and spend time with adoptable cats, all while supporting a meaningful cause. With friendly service and a unique atmosphere, this café has quickly become one of Schuylkill County’s most heartwarming attractions.
A Cause with Coffee
Owners Kim and Ron, self-proclaimed “cat purr-sons,” have long cared for kittens in need. Their dream of creating a space where people could meet and adopt cats came to life with Coal Cat Café. Every cup of coffee helps support their mission, making each visit an opportunity to make a difference. Partnered with Starting Over Animal Rescue , the café doubles as a foster home for up to twelve cats at a time. Inside the Cat Den, visitors can enjoy 45-minute sessions filled with cuddles and playtime. Advance booking is recommended, though walk-ins are welcome when space allows. Guests are encouraged to bond with the cats and, if they fall in love, begin the adoption process directly through S.O.A.R.
A Unique Experience
Coal Cat Café serves a variety of coffee drinks, from classic black coffee to creative cold brew concoctions, alongside packaged snacks. For those who want to remember their visit, the café’s gift shop carries kitty-themed keepsakes. With every detail, the café blends comfort, cuteness, and compassion in a way that delights both cat lovers and coffee enthusiasts.
Coal Cat Café in Tamaqua is more than a coffeehouse—it’s a safe haven for cats and a one-of-a-kind experience for the community.
