If felines and fitness are your thing, you need to make a trip to The Lotus Catfe. Located in Alabaster, this unique spotspot features adoptable cats, a cafe and yoga studio all in one great place.
Reopened at new location in Alabaster
Owned by mother-daughter duo Nicole Jacobson and Skye Vaillancourt, The Lotus Catfe opened in April 2023. After a few months in business, the two decided to move to a new spot in Alabaster’s Willow Plaza next to Shaggy Chic Grooming.
The café reopened November 11 and are now happily welcoming guests inside to visit the cat lounge and take part in beginner-friendly yoga classes.
What to expect at The Lotus Catfe
Nicole and Skye are currently working on opening their own rescue, but in the meantime work with the Shelby County Humane Society to help find the cats a good home. Every cat is spayed or neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. View the cafe’s furry friends on their website.

- Beginner-friendly yoga classes with a variety of tools like yoga wheels, straps, bolsters, blocks + more ($10 per class)
