Salty Cat Cafe is a slice of kitty heaven in Panama City, Florida, dedicated to reducing the suffering and over-population of feral and abandoned cats through shelter, care, veterinary services, and adoption. The cafe beautifully embraces cats of all ages: yes, there are kittens, but also many teenagers and adults looking for their forever homes. After a devastating fire, a generous cat lover offered to provide a new home in a less fire-threatened area, and the Ann Humble Memorial Trust Fund donated the building in honor of Ann, who loved cats her whole life. The new space opened at 1732 Bayview Ave.
Salty Cats of St. Andrews is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit where 100% of proceeds go directly toward the cats. Entry is just $10 per person for hourly snuggle sessions with approximately 40 adoptable cats. The small store relies on donations and features cat-related merchandise including pictures, clothes, decorations, and jewelry. The space is designed as a safe haven for rescue cats and a serotonin-boosting destination for visitors. All cats are adoptable and clearly well-cared-for, with distinct personalities and individual stories. Staff are sweet and kind, emphasizing that visitors follow the house rules for the cats' protection and happiness. Whether you need a place to relax, cheer up, spread love, or find your future best friend, Salty Cat Cafe provides a wonderful, accessible experience that supports meaningful rescue work.
