Kattencafé de Muis🐈‍⬛

Nijmegen, Gelderland · 10 mi / 16 km

Kattencafé Balthazar sits on Van Welderenstraat in the heart of Nijmegen, offering a relaxed spot to enjoy lunch, coffee, and homemade pastries alongside six resident cats. No reservation is needed for a casual visit, though their high tea experience requires advance booking. The feline residents each bring their own personality to the space. Moes, the group elder, prefers her favorite window cushion and gentle cuddles. Siblings Nori and Maki have grown up here together, with Nori often found on the rope bridge while Maki charms guests into lap time. Wolfje, a hybrid Sphynx, loves snuggling under blankets during cooler months. Karel has a playful streak and will fetch paper balls like a puppy, and Spruit balances her bold energy with surprisingly loud purrs when she settles down for affection.

Zutphen, Gelderland · 17 mi / 27 km

Kattencafé 't Visje in central Zutphen, Gelderland, is a volunteer-run cafe shared with seven resident cats. Most came from shelters and were selected for life in a public setting. Guests pass through an entry airlock before reaching the cats, which helps keep them safely indoors. The menu includes Brute Bonen coffee, tea, cakes and sandwiches, with vegan and gluten-friendly choices available. The cafe sometimes holds game nights and other small events. Its cats are permanent residents and are not available for adoption. Outside animals require advance permission. Reservations are recommended because limiting visitor numbers gives the cats room to retreat and helps the cafe maintain a quiet environment. The cafe opens Wednesday through Saturday and closes on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Children are welcome starting from age 4, but parents are asked to supervise closely, since sudden movements and loud noises can stress the cats.
