Around ten resident cats, mostly from South Moravian shelters and chosen for their sociable temperament, live there permanently and are not for adoption; a booklet tells each cat's story. The cafe has vintage furniture, a piano, a library and board games, plus the Galerie Felidae with cat-themed exhibitions. Cakes, ice cream and lemonade bases are made in-house. Guests must not give the cats human food, but staff hand out free cat treats that visitors can give them, and children must be accompanied.
