Traralgon - Grounded Paws Cat Cafe
Grounded Paws Cat Cafe is a unique cat café and rescue centre in Traralgon.
Operated by Grounded Paws Animal Rescue Inc., a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation, the café provides a welcoming environment where families can spend time with rescued cats and kittens while supporting animal welfare.
Unlike many cat cafés, all the cats at Grounded Paws are available for adoption and are waiting to find their forever homes.
The cat lounge is an upstairs, Alice in Wonderland-themed space that can accommodate up to 30 rescued cats and kittens. Visitors can relax, enjoy the company of the cats and learn about their different personalities from the volunteers.
Cat Lounge Experience:
The cat lounge provides an opportunity for visitors to interact with rescue cats in a comfortable, supervised environment.
Features include:
- Up to 30 rescued cats and kittens
- Alice in Wonderland-themed cat lounge
- Opportunities to pat, cuddle and interact with friendly cats
- Cats and kittens available for adoption
- Knowledgeable volunteers who can explain the adoption process
- Separate café area serving food and drinks
- Half-hour cat lounge sessions

Visitors do not need to be considering adoption to enjoy the cat lounge. Spending time with the cats also provides companionship and socialisation while supporting the rescue organisation.
Cat Adoption:
All cats and kittens in the lounge are available for adoption.
Grounded Paws Animal Rescue works with Victorian pounds to rescue animals in need and find suitable permanent homes.
The volunteers can provide information about individual cats, their personalities and the adoption process.
