How it all began
Come and meet the cats who were the hosts at the UKs first cat cafe (formerly in Totnes) at their countryside cat cafe near Newton Abbot, South Devon!
There is plenty of clinical evidence to show that the company of cats can be greatly therapeutic for humans. Stroking a cat has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress and playing with a cat can lift your mood.
We wanted people to enjoy, and benefit from, the company of cats. So, in 2013 we opened the first UK Cat Café in Totnes, Devon. Visitors came from far and wide and spent quality time with our team of cats, whilst enjoying refreshments and the company of like minded cat lovers.
Our cats commuted daily, by car, to and from the café and whilst they were always eager to jump into their carry boxes, the human team found the commuting rather tiring, and so the café closed its doors in 2014.
As the café had been a huge success and the cats had enjoyed it so much, life back home was a little humdrum for the feline team. And so a new idea came to mind. A Cat Café at the location of the cats' home! No more commuting, no more traffic jams and a new feline therapy lounge and secure garden too! Purrfect
Please come and visit our beautiful new Feline Therapy Lounge. A cat café with a difference. Our cats live on site and have access to their own custom built, heated, chalet and their human servants' house, when they are not entertaining the café guests. There is a café garden area too (for days when the weather is good) complete with an aerial feline walkway (The Catwalk!) so the cats can move safely between home, garden and café.
The Cat Café is open to adults and teenagers over the age of 16. Unfortunately we are unable to admit children under the age of 16 years old to the cafe. Booking fee: £5 per person. If you are a carer/support worker who regularly brings the person you care for, or a regular visitor to the cafe, please message/email us for more information.
