Cat Cafe Melbourne is Australia’s first cat cafe!
We will offer a whole new social environment never before experienced in Australia.
We will provide a fun, comfortable, and most importantly, kitty filled space for you to relax and play with several lovely cats from rescue shelters.
The cats will live at the premises, therefore they will have everything they could possibly ever need right at their paw-tips.
Cat Cafe’s are becoming known world wide, the first opening in Taiwan in 1998, and since spreading to Japan, Vienna, Russia, Germany, China, Thailand, the UK, France, and more!
The success of Cat Cafes is due to several reasons, the main one being that cats are awesome.
In city centres it can be difficult to rent a flat that allows animals, and owning an animal for its entire life is a big responsibility and costly, therefore Cat Cafes are a great solution to these problems.
It has also been proven that interacting with cats can lower high blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
I'd love to go there! Might keep an eye out for a weekend flight and accommodation package bargain and fly down for a bit of retail therapy and and kitteh interaction.

I've heard they're not allowed a coffee machine though so no good for me to go there.

Fishbait always starts squawking at me just as I'm having lunch. I wouldn't want to pay for that.

Bit like a zoo really or circus.. animals being used for monetary gain.

Can't see that it's a cafe. No coffee/food etc.
You're right, it's just a petting zoo.

They are all rescued cats and the money made goes toward their care and upkeep.

Do the cats stay in the cafe overnight with no humans present?

I don't know but I'm pretty sure that the cafe stays open until late.
