Cat cafes in Moscow and St. Petersburg: addresses

Loving animals means not just smiling at the sight of them on the street, but also taking an active interest in the plight of stray cats. One way to express this concern for homeless cats is by opening so-called cat cafes everywhere. Russia, particularly Moscow and St. Petersburg, has also taken up this initiative.

Cafes in Moscow

Several cat cafes have already opened in the capital, and judging by the number of visitors, Muscovites are quite interested in these kinds of establishments. So, where can you go to "visit" the animals and enjoy a cup of aromatic tea?

Raccoon cats

The founders of this cafe are a young couple actively involved in animal welfare volunteerism. All the pets are former strays, rescued from the streets. Besides the cats, several raccoons also live in the makeshift "red corner." Feeding the pets is permitted only with special food, which can be purchased directly on site. The number of meowing residents is constantly changing, but the most important thing is that, with the owner's consent and desire, you can adopt your favorite cat and bring it home.

Address: st. Viktorenko, 3.

Catsstory

A creative studio equipped for various master classes, seminars, trainings, and other social events. The idea is to encourage people not only to connect with each other but also to foster a love of pets. When renting the entire space, you can bring your own food and drinks, or order pizza, sushi, cakes, and more directly to the cafe. One of the cafe's specialties is cat yoga classes. It also offers a cozy and comfortable coworking space.

Cafe in St. Petersburg

The Northern capital has also embraced the idea of cat cafes, and several similar establishments have already opened. Among them:

Republic of Cats

The first cat cafe in Russia opened in St. Petersburg back in 2011. It encompasses many functions: an art club, a museum, a creative space, and a library. And, of course, cats—more than 60 of them live here. The number of animals constantly changes, as many find new homes and are replaced by new contenders for human warmth and home comfort.

The Republic of Cats welcomes visitors of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. Admission to the cat area is a nominal fee (300 to 400 rubles). The proceeds are used exclusively for the upkeep of the cats. Admission to the café and souvenir shop is free.

Important: Children under 14 years of age may visit the animals only in the presence of adults!

Pyshochnaya on Konyushennaya

Although this establishment doesn't officially hold the status of a cat cafe, it has long been associated with Ryzhik the Cat, the signature symbol of the pyshoka. Proud and unflappable, he invariably perches on a chair or windowsill, allowing himself to be petted and caressed. Besides this ginger wonder, here, as for many years, you can sample the most delicious pyshokas in St. Petersburg. A vibrant "back to the USSR" atmosphere reigns, allowing you to immerse yourself in the Soviet past. Delicious coffee, aromatic pyshokas, and affordable prices will leave no one indifferent.

Interesting fact: they say that the recipe for making donuts has not changed since 1958.

Art Cafe Sunduk

Located in the historic center of St. Petersburg, near the Chernyshevskaya metro station, it's famous not only for its delicious cuisine, unique interior, and vibrant evening music program, but also for its cat, Spinach, who greets guests at the entrance and feels like a full-fledged member of the team.
