Looking for a British tea-time treat with some feline friends? You’ll find a ‘cat cafe near me’ in no time with our extensive list of the best cat cafes in the UK. Enjoy a wide variety of treats from caramel mud cakes to vegan pizzas, coffee and teas while petting rescued cats and kittens. Each location has something unique to bring to the table which you will find out as you read on…
DISCLAIMERS: There are no cat cafes in Northern Ireland or Wales so we have attached cat rescue charities instead. Some of which hold afternoon tea events and more!
Lots of cat cafes also have age restrictions as many of the cats are rescued and have suffered trauma so children need to be old enough to respect the cats and handle them carefully. Make sure to check the age ranges of each cafe before booking an experience.

Cat Cafe Liverpool
Cat Cafe Liverpool is a stress-free space where cats and humans come alongside each other and unwind. Cats are chillaxing royalty, okay? If there’s one thing we can learn from these fascinating creatures it’s how to slow down and soak up the moment.
Take some ‘self-love’ notes from your new feline friends and watch them as they only do the things they want to do. With this being said, make sure you respect the cats on your visit and don’t try to grab them or make them do what they don’t want to do!
Interacting with animals helps us humans emotionally, mentally and even physically! So make sure you book your visit and make some new furry friends.

The Cosy Cat Cafe, Kent
Shall we give you an insight into the cats you might meet? There are a whopping 14 cats in total at this cat cafe! All of these cats have been rescued or have lived through traumatic experiences. With lots of love and patience, these cats have opened up and come out of their shells.
Meet Woody, a black cat who likes to be brushed (when he’s in the right mood!). Or meet Harry, he’s ginger and white with lots of stripes. He’s the cheekiest of the bunch as he is very playful and loves a good purr or two. If you are looking for a lap cat then Simba could be the one for you. He loves human attention and treats as well as having a good old snooze – I think I can relate!
This cat cafe takes bookings and welcomes walk-ins! Children under 7 are not allowed on the premises.
