About Us

Our Mission

Save the lives of cats while giving the community a fun place to meet and adopt them.

At the Black Forest Cat Café, we want to reduce the number of cats in shelters by helping them find their forever homes. We do this by giving cats a safe, cage-free place to stay, and by allowing people to visit and adopt them in a fun environment.

The Cat Crew

Black Forest Cat Café is a local business started by a Mother & Daughter in Fort Wayne, Indiana. After visiting Cat Cafes around the world and watching the number of stray cats in our city grow, we were inspired to open Fort Wayne’s first Cat Café!
