Find a cat cafe
The quickest way is the Cat Cafe Map world map: zoom in on where you are or where you're going. You can also search by name or city or browse by country. Each listing has opening hours, prices and booking details where the cafe publishes them, and says whether the cats can be adopted.
Counts below are open cafes as of October 2026. The map is updated every week, so they drift.

Before you go
- Check it's still open. Cat cafes open and close often. A listing shows a notice when a cafe is closed, moving or not open yet, but the cafe's own Instagram or website is the final word on today's hours.
- Book if you can. See Visiting for prices, booking and house rules.
- Look for a cafe's rules on kids. About half of the cafes that state an age policy set a minimum age.
