Cute Cat Cafes In Europe

Cat Café Kociarnia – Krakow, Poland

Address: Lubicz 1, 31-033 Kraków, Poland

Krakow is full of romantic cobblestone streets to wander, the largest castle in Poland to explore (Wawel Royal Castle), and a charming cat café tucked just outside all the hustle and bustle of Old Town. Cat Café Kociarnia is Krakow’s only cat café and the perfect place to kick off your day—pop in for an extensive assortment of coffee drinks, specialty teas, smoothies, along with sweet treats, and lunch items.

Unfortunately, it’s not the most vegan-friendly spot in Krakow, but what it lacks in eats, it makes up in sweet kitty snuggles! The café is frequented by a variety of kitties of all ages. There were less than ten hanging out when we visited, but that’s a good thing; it means that the others were adopted and found fur-ever homes! We thought it was the perfect place to relax from sightseeing while enjoying a hot drink with furry friends.

There isn’t a fee to visit the café, however, they ask that you purchase something to eat or drink or donate to help them take care of all of the sweet kitties. If you’re traveling with small children, it is essential to note that they only allow children 6 or older.

Cat Cafe – Vilnius, Lithuania

Address: Gedimino pr. 5, Vilnius 01103, Lithuania

Vilnius? I know, there is a good chance you’ve never been here and you might not even know exactly where it is. Neither did I until I first visited a few years ago.

Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania and is actually a really cool, vibrant city with a lot to offer! And that includes the Cat Cafe.

The Cat Cafe is a cute, cozy cafe that’s home to 15 cats. With different rooms and a comfortable decor the cafe feels almost like you’re visiting a friend’s home instead of a cafe.

And the cats are adorable! They clearly love the attention and will come greet you at your table, but you’re also more than welcome to walk around to get to know all the cats.

You can stop here for a quick coffee and some cat cuddles, but the cafe is also a good place to eat in Vilnius. They have a great lunch menu, delicious desserts and some good cocktails too!

O Porto Dos Gatos – Porto, Portugal

Address: Av. de Rodrigues de Freitas 93, 4300-466 Porto, Portugal

Cats Café – Chisinau, Moldova

Address: Alexander Pushkin St 32, Chișinău, Moldova

The capital of Moldova is certainly not very high on the bucket list of travellers in Europe – if at all. Many are passing through from Romania to Ukraine, especially to the highlights of Odessa.

But wrongly so, there is a lot to discover in Chisinau. Extensive parks, iconic buildings like the Moldavian Triumphal Arch, brutalist architecture from the Soviet times or modern shopping complexes. There are many exciting places to learn a lot about the life of the locals in the city like the big markets in the city center and at the train station. 

And after a long day of sightseeing, there is a special café to relax in: Cats Café. The café is wonderfully located in the center at 32 Alexander Pushkin Street (Strada Pușkin), in the building of the Bristol Hotel. This is right next to the Cathedral Park and the Triumphal Arch of Chisinau. 

The prices are very moderate, as in many places in Moldova. In addition to various coffee specialties and drinks of all kinds, hot snacks and meals such as pizza are also offered. 

So, don’t miss the exciting city of Chisinau and relax afterwards at Cats Café.

Meow Cats Cafe – Aix-en-Provence, France

Address: 10 Rue Fonderie, 13100 Aix-en-Provence, France

Meow Cats Cafe in Aix-en-Provence, France is a charming little coffee shop and restaurant that is home to five gorgeous cats. It is right in my neighbourhood and I consider myself very lucky to be so close to it. Whenever I get bored while working from home, I grab my laptop and I hurry over to Meow Cats Cafe. Since they provide free WiFi, I can easily work from there, all the while sipping on one of their delicious coffees, teas, hot chocolates or home-made lemonade – depending on the season. They also serve amazing desserts, breakfasts and brunch. So if I ever feel like spending an entire day working from there, I will not go hungry and I can enjoy the company of the five beautiful feline residents.

Meow Cats Cafe is a veritable jungle gym for these lovely cats. As soon as you enter, you notice a maze of boxes, tunnels and flap doors all around. These little cat residents never get bored. If they wish to hide from visitors, they can easily do so by escaping through a trap door behind the wall. Or if they want to feel like they are on top of the world, they climb up to one of the boxes on the wall or make their way through a series of tunnels under the ceiling. From time to time, some of the more social cats will get curious and come hang out. That is always a treat.

Kattencafe Kopjes – Amsterdam, Netherlands

Address: Marco Polostraat 211, 1057 WK Amsterdam

Kattencafe Kopjes (often just called Kopjes) is Amsterdam’s first cat café, and currently the only one in the capital city of the Netherlands. It’s located in Amsterdam-West, not far from both Erasmuspark and Rembrandtpark, as well as the famous Foodhallen.

‘Kopjes’ is the Dutch word for little cups, but it’s also the word they use when a cat bumps its head against you, which I think makes it an adorable name for a cat café! There are eight cats that live at Kopjes, all permanent residents who have been adopted from two different Amsterdam cat shelters and, since they live there on the property, are all pretty relaxed about visitors. The huge Horus was my favourite, but Tiny (a cute little white and black cat with only one eye) is also adorable.

The cats also have their own section away from the café patrons if they need a break, but they all seemed perfectly relaxed when we visited, and all in the main room. The café is also closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the cats get a big break then.

The café is fairly small, but very cosy, and there are lots of little hidey holes for the cats. It costs €3 to visit for a two-hour time slot. You can also purchase some drinks and snacks while you’re there, but you don’t have to. However, I definitely recommend their delicious red velvet cake. There are some cute little cat-themed books and games you can play while there, but mostly it’s just a lovely spot to hang out with some cats and have a coffee, rather than at a regular café!

Maison de Moggy – Edinburgh, UK

Address: 17 West Port, Edinburgh EH1 2JA, United Kingdom

If you’re looking to visit beautiful designer cats, make sure you visit the cat café in Edinburgh.

When I lived in Edinburgh, I’d always walk past the Maison de Moggy cat café and stop to look at the cats through the window. I’d never been to a cat café before, but as a BIG cat lover I’d always wanted to. I just never got around to it. Then after lockdown finished, one of the first places I went was the cat café.

I didn’t really know what to expect. They had the most beautiful cats I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t just your typical domestic cat. They had so many rare breads – Sphynx (the hairless cats!), Norwegian forest cat, Ragdoll, Maine coon, chinchilla Persian, bengal siamese, and British short hair. I’d never seen a furless cat before so this was a highlight as well as the bengals and the most beautiful fluffy cats you’ve ever seen.

You’re allowed to pat and cuddle the cats and they encourage them to play with treats and toys. They also have a small menu with hot drinks (highly recommend the gingerbread latte) and cakes.

If you love cats, I’d definitely recommend going here. If I was still living in Edinburgh, I would definitely be back. It’s the only cat café I’ve been to, but I can’t imagine finding a better one.
