Dolbom Uehommachi
Dolbom Uehommachi is an adoption-focused dog and cat cafe in Uehommachinishi, Chuo Ward, about 1 minute on foot from Kintetsu Osaka-Uehommachi Station and Exit 8 of Tanimachi 9-chome Station. It continues the work of the Hogoken Cafe Higashi-Dotonbori, which ran for about ten years before moving here. Rescued dogs and cats live at the cafe while waiting for new families, and staff trained as animal trainers work on socialisation and behaviour before adoption. Visitors choose a cat-only pass or a combined dog and cat pass, both including one drink and animal treats. Weekday visits have no time limit, though a two-hour limit applies when busy, and weekend and holiday visits are 90 minutes. Preschool children pay a reduced rate and babies under one enter free. Adopted animals come with health checks by visiting vets, vaccinations, microchips and aftercare. The site also has a grooming salon and is closed on Wednesdays.

保護猫カフェ neu。 is a shelter cat and vegan cafe tucked into a quiet alley in Osaka's Chuo Ward, within easy walking distance of Tanimachi 6-chome and Matsuyamachi stations. Home to more than twenty rescue cats with distinct personalities, the cafe is designed as a calm, cozy space where guests can settle in and spend unhurried time with the cats rather than a busy play area. Staff are happy to share each cat's temperament and habits, making it a comfortable first visit for newcomers to cat cafes, and many guests return regularly to watch relationships develop over time. All food is fully vegan, including a lunch menu served daily and a rotating selection of cafe drinks, sweets, and notable coffee. Every resident cat is available for adoption, and community adoption events are held throughout the year.

Cat Cafe Aphrodite
Osaka0.7 mi / 1.2 km

Children of elementary school age and younger must come with a guardian, and feeding the cats is not allowed. The building also houses Megami no Naoraiahi, a tatami-room restaurant serving Italian and vegan shojin-style course meals by reservation.
