Gatizole Cat Café
This location has permanently closed.
Gatizole Cat Café, located at Via del Travai 15 in Trento, is the first and only cat café in the Trentino Alto Adige region. The name "Gatizole," meaning "tickle" in the local dialect, draws inspiration from Japanese Neko Cafés, offering patrons the opportunity to enjoy various delicacies in the delightful company of resident cats. The café is home to four feline hosts: Alcide, Gianni, Nina, and Suzanne, each with their unique personalities. Guests can enjoy snacks, aperitifs, or light dinners in the cat lounge. A minimum spend of €5 per guest is required to access the cat lounge, and while reservations are not mandatory, they are highly recommended to ensure availability. The café also features a traditional bar area for those seeking a quick beverage.

Neko Cafè
Longara, Veneto45 mi / 72 km
Neko Cafè is a volunteer-run cat cafe in Longara, on the Riviera Berica south-east of Vicenza, on Strada delle Grancare. It was founded in Turin in 2014 as one of Italy's first cat cafes and moved to Vicenza in December 2018. The cafe is run by a non-profit association and is home to seven resident cats that once lived in shelters or on the street. Some of them are older, so visitors are asked to handle them gently. To visit, you need the association's annual membership card, which must be requested online before the first visit and cannot be bought at the door. Guests can have a snack, an aperitivo or dinner among the cats. The colourful rooms have board games, cat paintings and merchandise for sale. Monthly dinners often feature book talks or cat-care experts. Opening days can change because the staff are volunteers.

A shelf of books and board games is available, and the venue hosts a book club, workshops and fundraising events for local groups. It describes itself as an inclusive, LGBTQ+ safe space. Guests are asked not to pick up the cats.
