Whether you’re a local or visiting the city, Cat Café Melbourne is the purr-fect place to unwind with a coffee and some friendly feline company.
Established in 2014, Cat Café Melbourne was Australia’s first cat café and remains a must-visit for cat lovers. Located in Carlton, this charming café offers a peaceful retreat where you can sip on a drink while socialising with their adorable resident cats.
The space is split over two floors:
🐾 The ground floor is a cosy lounge where the cats roam freely, ready for pats and playtime.
☕The first floor features a relaxed café lounge area where you can enjoy a drink while spending time with the cats, as well as browse a selection of accessories and cat supplies.
A Home for Rescue Cats
Most of the resident cats at the café are rescued and rehomed, giving abandoned kitties a second chance in a loving environment.
It’s not just a café—it’s a heartwarming experience that raises awareness of the benefits of adopting rescue animals.
