Coffee Cat
Coffee Cat is Paraguay's first cat cafe, opened in 2023 in Barrio Jara, Asunción, at the corner of Teniente Segundo Benigno Villamayor and Luis Morales, behind the Universidad Americana. Founded by María Lourdes Pérez Toranzos, it combines a specialty coffee shop decorated with cat murals with a catio, an enclosed cat area where visitors spend time with the resident cats, all rescued and chosen for their calm, sociable temperament. Visitors enter the catio in socks after taking off their shoes, and the cats have monthly vet checks. The resident cats are not up for adoption, but kittens abandoned at the cafe's gates are cared for and rehomed, and the cafe donates food and supplies to shelters. The seasonal menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes such as mbejú, cakes and slow-brewed coffee. People also come to work remotely, and the cafe hosts birthdays and cat-themed markets.

Frodo Gato & Café
Passo Fundo, Rio Grande Do Sul381 mi / 613 km
Frodo Gato & Café is a small cat-themed cafe on Rua General Canabarro in the centre of Passo Fundo. It calls itself the city's first cat cafe. The menu has hot and iced coffee drinks, cappuccinos, pies, banoffee, jams and savoury snacks, including cat-shaped treats, and it also delivers through iFood. The resident cats, which have included Capuccino and Baunilha, live in a small room separate from the cafe. Visitors pay to go into the room for a timed session. There are only a few cats, often two or three, so this is a quieter and more modest set-up than the larger adoption cafes. The cafe takes reservations, is popular with students and works well for laptop work. It opens on Tuesday to Friday afternoons and on Saturdays from mid-morning, and it sometimes opens on Sundays, which it announces on Instagram.

Adoption follows a responsible adoption process. The menu covers specialty coffee, handmade cakes and savoury snacks, vegan options and a home-style lunch, served with cat-themed details. Sociable pets are welcome in a pet-friendly area. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
