The NoCo Cat Cafe, which opened in early 2023 in Downtown Loveland, Colorado, is Northern Colorado’s first cat cafe offering a unique blend of coffee, snacks, and feline companionship. Visitors pay a $12 entry fee to interact with spayed/neutered, vaccinated cats available for adoption, with adoption fees averaging around $250. Since opening, the cafe has been highly successful, facilitating nearly 1,000 cat adoptions by mid-2025, becoming a beloved spot for local animal lovers.

Beyond the cafe, Colorado residents enjoy a wide variety of pets, including many exotic animals legally allowed in the state, such as alpacas and kangaroos. However, the state also restricts ownership of certain dangerous animals to ensure public safety. Overall, Colorado’s pet culture is vibrant, with places like NoCo Cat Cafe contributing to the community’s love for animals.
