What could be better than sitting over a cup of tea and stroking an affectionate pet, listening to its purr?

This is the kind of pastime offered by a cafe with cats in Moscow. What services are included in the price list of these establishments?

Cats and people

This cafe opened quite recently - in April 2015. And gradually it became so popular that it grew into a network of two establishments. Addresses:

1. - Gilyarovsky 17
2. and Novaya Basmannaya 3.

The establishment is young. Initially, 9 cats lived in it, which were always at the service of visitors. But today the staff of tetrapods has expanded: there are about 40 of them.

Customers can expect a pleasant stay and discreet service here. They are invited to lie down in a hammock, read a book, drink coffee. Drinks and biscuits are included in the admission price. The cafe at the very beginning deliberately refused to serve restaurant dishes, since it is very difficult to combine animals and food for people from the point of view of sanitary standards. All cats are vaccinated, neutered. The cafe works more like an exhibition where you will be served tea or coffee for entertainment. Recently, the institution has expanded the list of dishes, including delicious desserts... However, food is limited to this: then communication with cats begins.

The institution is designed for 18 people. If there are more people willing at the same time, they will, of course, be accommodated, but other guests will have to make room. You can get here only by appointment, so every client counts. On the territory of the cafe you cannot wear shoes or torture animals. The idea of ​​the establishment is that the client comes to the cats and should make friends with them, and not vice versa.

The interior design is quite simple, made in country style. It is this environment that helps guests to escape from pressing problems. Hourly payment: from 60 to 100 rubles per hour.

The plans of the organizer of the establishment include creative meetings, discussions of problems concerning cats.

The cafe offers board games, guided tours of cats, as in a real exhibition. Board games on the theme of animals are also offered to children. On the territory of the cafe, you can spend a birthday, having previously discussed the program with the organizers.

The cafe allows cats to be taken home. But before that, the interested person undergoes a serious casting. So do not hope that the pet will simply be given to you without finding out everything about you.

Malt

Another cat cafe is Malt. The address of the institution is Kosmonavtov street, 12. However, the rules of conduct are much simpler here, and it resembles in its structure more restaurant, on which cats simply walk freely.

Here you can order international cuisine, which will take an average of half an hour to cook. Dinner in a cafe costs from 500 to 1.5 thousand rubles, depending on what dishes were ordered.

The cafe has a veranda, air conditioning, so everyone will be comfortable. There is a separate menu for banquets. Takeaway can be ordered.

Kotofeynya

Another cafe with cats, which is located on Maroseyka street, 10. The atmosphere in the cafe is more like a children's playroom. There are lockers with board games, books, and game consoles. You can come here with own work or entertainment.

And, of course, cats reign around. The structure of the establishment is in many ways similar in description to the previous ones: there are recreation areas, places for cats, and even a separate room for them, where people are not allowed to enter.

The cost of such relaxation is from 4 to 8 rubles per minute. Optionally, you can purchase a subscription. The guests admit that time goes by completely unnoticed here. The reviews about the institution are positive, the rest is quiet, family friendly, the service is unobtrusive.

LaMour

A cat-cafe located in Moscow at Ogorodny proezd, 25/20. There are strict rules of conduct that everyone must follow. So, before entering, the client will be offered to treat his hands with an antiseptic and take off his shoes.

In the room, you should be quiet, do not torment cats, do not touch them if they are sleeping. Adults should supervise children and show them how to properly interact with animals.

The cost of visiting a cafe is from 4 to 7 rubles per minute, depending on the day of the week and time of day. Students can get a 50% discount. Every 10th visit to the cafe is free.

Good afternoon, our dear readers! Today we will tell you about the top 10 best cat cafes around the world. They are called Catocafe. These are places where you can comfortably spend time in the company of cats and cats. You can "rent" a cat for the evening all over Europe, Asia, and Russia. The new kind recreation is rapidly gaining popularity and is especially loved by those who are tired of standard establishments. In Russia, including in Moscow, there are also such places. Read and write down the address.

Cat-cafe is the type of anti-cafe that we talked about.

In addition to having a cup of coffee, chatting or playing a board game, the cat cafes have the opportunity to feel just like at home and chat with fluffy heartthrobs.

Such establishments also have a good purpose: to help animals find love, care, and sometimes their own home. They also have a number of clear rules that will have to be followed. Everything so that cats feel comfortable with you, and you have the warmest and fluffiest impressions.

You can also chat with other animals - raccoons, lemurs, rabbits, but not in a cafe, but in.

What is the trick

In comfort and non-triviality. Coming to a cafe, paying for your coffee and a bun - this is the last century! Now the word "cafe" takes on a wider and wider meaning.

Well, everyone already knows about anti-cafe, no one is surprised.

But the fashion for cafes with cats is only gaining momentum. The very first such establishment was opened in Taipei back in 1998. We will immediately calm down the lovers of cats, they do not serve dishes from fluffy tailed ones. Not a single cat was hurt. So what's the catch?

Coming here, you pay for the opportunity to spend time in the company of cats. Pay by the hour, or even by the minute. By the way, finances are not more expensive than in ordinary cafes.

The reasons for the craving for the society of cats can be different. Maybe your pets are allergic to animals, or you can't keep your cat at home, or you travel a lot.

Do's and Don'ts

In any case, this is a place for those who cannot imagine their life without feline purring.

Drink coffee or tea, sit in the company of your favorite animals - this is please. Read, relax, work, chat with friends. But you cannot do whatever your heart desires with an animal.

The cat cafe has rules of conduct:

1. The cat is always right. This is out of the question.
2. You need to enter the cafe without outdoor shoes, outerwear. In order not to bring street dirt and all kinds of infection.
3. Be sure to wash your hands before handling animals.
4. You cannot smoke or drink alcohol.
5. Look after your children well so that they do not intentionally / unintentionally harm animals.
6. You cannot bring food to cats. In many cafes, you can buy some goodies from the staff.
7. It is absolutely impossible to hold an animal in your arms against its will, to offend. Read rule # 1.
8. You can take pictures, but without a flash. This scares the animals.
9. No other animals are allowed.

It's not difficult, right? But, the sea of ​​positive from communication with cats is guaranteed to you. They are kindly in such places, they are not afraid, they are ready to get acquainted and sit on your lap.

Second chance for a cat

Many animals enter the cafe from the street. They do not have a home and caring owners. Nobody stroked or caressed them. The Cat Cafe is an opportunity to draw attention to the problem of stray animals. Give cats a second chance, save this cute animal on the street from everything that can wait.

Naturally, before getting to the cat cafe, animals undergo a medical examination and receive help needed... They are all healthy.

For those who want to understand cat breeds:

Thank you, friends, for your interest in our articles! We hope you will definitely want to visit the cat cafe in your city. In the meantime, we are waiting for new travel stories. See you!

14 CATS

"Seals-raccoons" is an unusual institution. This is not a cafe with tables with pets walking between them. This is a house where 14 cats and 2 raccoons live, and the visitors are only guests. And for them there are written rules (see Specifically). Read - sign. That is why cat cafes are also called anti-cafes. If in ordinary public catering the client is always right, then the owners are right - cats and raccoons. Outdoor shoes will not be allowed inside, the administrator will offer slippers (available different sizes) and disposable socks.

There are several ottomans and sofas in the room. There are some small tables on which you can place a paper cup of coffee or tea. Both are treated for free. In anti-cafe you have to pay for time, not for food (see Price).

With so many cats, my nine-year-old daughter was indescribable delight. She rushed from one cat to another, getting lost in her preferences - black and white Kesha or red-haired Sema?

WHO ELSE LIVES HERE?

"Seals-Raccoons" is the only anti-cafe in Moscow with raccoons. Elder Plutosh is three months old. The whimsical character fully justifies the nickname. A mischievous and restless raccoon can easily put on the ears of all cats, and at the same time their owners - the spouses Konstantin and Catherine.

The plutosh cannot be ignored, - Katya tells me, while my daughter is having fun with the cats, teasing them with a fishing rod and a feather. - He is calm only when he is sleeping, and so there is eye and eye behind him. Raccoons are animals that know the rules, but constantly break them. They can, for example, specifically go to the toilet in addition to the tray. Cats, by contrast, are much better educated.

The second raccoon is a one and a half month old baby Aziri. She is still so small and fragile that they are not allowed to squeeze her.

She has cartilages instead of bones, so any awkward squeezing can lead to a fracture, explains Konstantin.

But it is also interesting to watch Aziri from the outside. A small animal, more like a monkey than a raccoon, amusingly jumping on thin legs around the spacious room and poking a curious nose into every crack.

ANIMALS NO ENTRANCE

Konstantin and Katya opened this cat cafe in spite of their love for cats.

We had 5 animals at home, - says Kostya. - Somehow I am returning from a business trip, and there are already 10 cats in the apartment! The wife picked up the kittens on the street. And then I realized that something had to be done. So the idea came to open a cat cafe.

So far we have invested all our savings in it, - Katya picks up. - When all this will pay off, I do not know. But our main feature that all cats are yard cats. Animal rights activists (and I myself am one of them) pick up homeless animals on the street, treat them, vaccinate, sterilize, and then bring them to us. But we do not take all cats, but only calm, playful and loyal to children. We don't need aggression here. Moreover, both from the side of animals and from the side of people. If we see that the child is chasing the cat, throwing various objects at him, then we ask his parents to leave the room.
