Café com Gato
Sorocaba, São Paulo27 mi / 44 km
Café com Gato is a cat cafe on Avenida Pereira da Silva in Jardim Santa Rosália, Sorocaba. Opened in 2014, it bills itself as Brazil's first cat cafe. The cats live in a separate glass-walled cat room that diners can watch from the cafe, and visitors who want to go inside book a 30-minute session in advance. The visit is charged per person, children up to 8 enter free, seniors over 60 pay half, and children under 10 must be with an adult. Visitors cannot return to the cafe area after the session, so it is best to eat first. Some cats are available for adoption through a partnership with the local animal shelter AATAN Sorocaba. The menu covers coffees, frappés, cakes, savory snacks, light meals and vegan options, and there is a small cat-themed shop. A colonial-style afternoon tea is held on the last Sunday of each month.

Cat Café Peticas
Botucatu, São Paulo50 mi / 80 km
Cat Café Peticas is a weekly cat cafe run by the Gatil Peticas adoption project at the Peticas veterinary clinic on Avenida Santana in central Botucatu, opposite a Burger King. Every Wednesday afternoon the cattery opens as a cafe: visitors can have coffee, cakes and savory snacks, play with the rescued cats and kittens, and learn about volunteering. Sales of food and drink help fund the project's work. The cattery is also open for visits on Saturday mornings, mainly for people interested in adopting. All the cats are rescues looking for homes, and adoption involves an interview over WhatsApp, photos or videos of the home, a home visit and delivery of the cat, with homes required to have secure walls or window screens. Opening times are short, so it is worth checking the project's Instagram before going.
