Algiers, Algiers Province, Algeria
Heycat Coffee Shop
Heycat opened in September 2025 in Hydra, on the heights of Algiers, and was the first cat cafe in Algeria. Its resident cats roam freely through a cosy room decorated on a feline theme down to the smallest details, and guests can stroke and photograph them while they eat. The menu names every drink and dessert after cats, from the cat-puccino to a cat-shaped flan, alongside matcha, Spanish lattes, bubble tea, toasts and cakes. There is no separate entry fee; visitors order from the menu. The cafe has since moved into a larger room, and it is popular with families and students, so the cats are best approached gently and left alone when they are sleeping. It opens from breakfast until late evening, and from mid-afternoon on Fridays.

Cat Relax
Alicante, Valencian Community223 mi / 359 km
Cat Relax is a non-profit cat cafe on Plaza Joaquín María López in the Los Ángeles district of Alicante, run since 2016 by ABAIFA, an association that rescues homeless cats in the province. Visitors can have a drink, read or play with around a dozen sociable rescue cats, most of them adults being socialised before adoption, and at some times of year there is also a kitten room upstairs. The cat area is separated from the drinks counter by double doors, guests wash their hands on the way in and out, and the cats have a room of their own to retreat to. The ground-floor cat room is wheelchair accessible. Visits are by advance booking only, through a request form on the association's website, and a volunteer supervises the room. Stays may be limited to an hour at busy times. All the cats can be adopted through the association.

Cats in Need Menorca
Es Castell, Balearic Islands227 mi / 365 km
Cats in Need Menorca is a small cat rescue with a cat house open to visitors at Sínia des Riera, a rural settlement in the municipality of Es Castell, a short drive south-east of Maó. The charity has neutered, fed and cared for Menorca's stray cats since 1999, and the house is home to rescued cats too ill, frail or vulnerable to return to the street, around two dozen at a time. During the twice-weekly visiting hours, visitors can sit with the cats, stroke them, give them treats and hear their rescue stories, and children are welcome. Entry is free. A small gift shop selling cards, mugs and other cat-themed items, together with donations, pays for food and vet care. Some of the cats can be adopted. There is no food or drink service, and visitors should make sure no cats slip out when opening the doors.

La Gatera - Cat Café
Murcia244 mi / 393 km
La Gatera is a cat cafe on Calle Vara de Rey in the historic centre of Murcia, and was the first cat cafe in the region when it opened in 2022. Visitors share the cafe with rescued cats and kittens, all of them up for adoption through the Protectora Ayuda Animal Murcia, whose volunteers handle the adoption process. Entry is a ticket per person that includes the first drink, with no time limit. Tables can be reserved online for the first part of the morning and afternoon sessions; after that, seating is first come, first served. The menu has coffee, infusions in cat-shaped cups, cinnamon rolls, alfajores and vegan options. House rules ask guests to let the cats approach first, not to pick them up or wake them, to avoid flash and to play with toys rather than hands. Children under 14 must come with an adult.
