Gato Pingado is a cat cafe in a townhouse with a back patio on Rua João Moura in Pinheiros, São Paulo, about ten minutes on foot from Oscar Freire Metrô station. The cafe is named after the pingado, a classic Brazilian coffee with milk, and serves several versions of it alongside filter coffee, cakes, cat-face toasts and a weekend brunch. Rescued cats live in a separate play area called the Gatódromo, which visitors enter for a paid timed session that can be booked online; the cat area opens slightly later and closes slightly earlier than the cafe, and it has been closed on Tuesdays for the cats' rest day.
