Annie's Attic Thrift Shop & Cat Cafe

Annie’s Attic Thrift Shop & Cat Cafe, located at 1560 Main St, Winnipeg, MB R2W 3W4, is a unique gem in Winnipeg’s North End, proudly holding the title of the city’s first cat cafe and thrift shop combo. Operated by D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre (ARC), a registered charity, this cozy spot opened its doors to combine caffeine, thrifting, and feline companionship, all while supporting the rescue of abandoned, neglected, and homeless cats. Visitors can sip on delicious beverages and enjoy baked goods from local favorites like Goodies Bake Shop and Gunn’s Bakery, served fresh daily, while lounging with adoptable rescued cats in a welcoming cat lounge. Entry to the cat lounge requires a minimum $5 donation, with no reservations accepted, encouraging spontaneous visits from Tuesday to Saturday, 11 AM to 6 PM. Beyond the cafe, the thrift shop offers a treasure trove of second-hand finds—clothing, toys, and more—with all proceeds funding D’Arcy’s ARC’s mission. Annie’s Attic is a heartwarming blend of community, compassion, and cat cuddles, perfect for animal lovers looking to shop, sip, and adopt.
