Charlie's Cat Cafe

Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire · 12 mi / 19 km

My Purrfect Catè is a cat cafe on Market Lane in Hanley, the city centre of Stoke-on-Trent. Opened in 2026 as the first cat cafe in Stoke, it is a family-run venue where around 14 resident cats and kittens of several breeds live in a large lounge with cat towers, hideaways and sofas. The cats belong to the owners and are not offered for adoption. Visits are booked online as sessions of an hour and a half with a per-person fee, children under two go free, and walk-ins are not guaranteed. Guests must read the house rules before booking, and staff hand out treats and toys and explain each cat's favourite games. The cafe serves coffee, iced drinks, tea in small pots, waffles, homemade cakes and desserts. It is accessible by ramp for wheelchair users.

Whitchurch, Shropshire · 20 mi / 31 km

CATW Cafe is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit cat cafe on St Mary's Street in the centre of Whitchurch, the north Shropshire market town near the Cheshire and Welsh borders. It is run by Cat Assist Team Whitchurch (CATW), a local cat rescue, and every penny raised goes back into rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cats. The rescue cats live in the cafe, and visitors can meet them with a view to adoption or simply spend time with them. Admission is charged per person for an hour and includes a drink, and visits can be booked online or arranged on arrival. The cafe serves hot chocolate, coffee, toasties and cakes, sells pre-loved items, and is the collection point for the rescue's pet food bank. It first opened on Green End in May 2025 and, after flooding forced it to close within weeks, reopened at its current St Mary's Street premises later that year.

Wolverhampton, West Midlands · 20 mi / 32 km

The Qattery Cafe & Cats is Wolverhampton's first cat cafe, on Victoria Street in the city centre next to the Mander Centre. The ground floor is an ordinary artisan coffee shop open to walk-ins, serving hot food, sandwiches, cakes and speciality coffee, while the former function room upstairs has been turned into a lounge for 19 rescue cats. All of the cats were rescued from the streets of Qatar and brought to the UK by the owner, and they live at the cafe permanently. Visits to the cat room are booked in 30-minute sessions with a per-person fee, and two back-to-back sessions give a longer stay. Children are welcome, with no more than two under-10s per adult and under-14s accompanied, and guests are asked not to chase or pick up the cats. The cat room is reached by 21 stairs, so access is limited.

Birmingham, West Midlands · 30 mi / 49 km

Kitty Café Birmingham is a cat cafe on the upper mall of Grand Central, the shopping centre above Birmingham New Street Station.

Booking online is recommended, though walk-ins are taken when there is space. Children are welcome but under-16s must be supervised by an adult.
