Cat Cuddle Cafe

«Dogs come when they’re called. Cats take a message and get back to you.»

Adore cats and fancy an hour of cat cuddles? Looking to give a great home to a little puss cat that might not had the best of starts in life and commit to giving cuddles on demand? Well the Cat Cuddle Café is the place to go.
You need to book online to visit as the owner, who is super passionate about rescuing and rehoming cats, ensures that the cats are not over stressed by having too many people visit, in addition to ensuring the small numbers per hour timeslot enable you to get some quality cat time.
Located in Red Hill Brisbane the little café entrance leads you downstairs to the reception area.
When you arrive you are greeted and check-​in and then ask to read and agree to some rules… simple rules like: wash you hands before and after you visit the cats, leave sleeping cats to snooze in peace, no loud noises that could scare the little fluffy wanabe Lion cubs. Due to Australian Health and Safety requirements the barrister is located in the reception area which is catless and you can order up your favourite coffee and can take this into the cat lounge.
You can view the cats whilst you wait for your timeslot to start and you can see that the lounge is a real cat space. Cat toys, beds, tunnels, a cat running wheel and I even found a mini cat tent make this space cat heaven. There is also an outdoor area too where the little ones can bask in the sun and get some fresh air.
When I visited there were a range of cats, some very lively kittens in addition to some very relaxed older cats who seemingly preferred to bask in the sun and watch the kittens do 100m sprints than bother to lift paw and partake in any exercise whatsoever.
There is a cat profile wall in the cat lounge so you can look up the names of your favourite fur ball in addition to seeing their friends who have found new homes.
There is a table and sofa to take a seat at but be careful you don’t disturb a resting cat who may have already claimed a chair for themselves.
All in all this is a rather lovely business that is really focused on helping rescue cats find great new homes. So if you are on the hunt for a cat why not visit Cat Cuddle Café to find your perfect feline partner? It is only $ 10 per person per visit for up to 1 hour and you really get to see the personality of the cats and can chose one that will best get on with you.
