Koteykino is a cat anticafe on Sovetskaya Ulitsa in Tambov's Oktyabrsky district, in the 1000 Kvartir residential complex. Opened in March 2025 as the city's first cat cafe, it was founded by Marina Lukyanova with cats from Tambov shelters and has since rehomed more than 40 of them. Around 15 cats live there; each is tested, vaccinated, treated for parasites and sterilised before moving in. Adoption involves an interview, and adopters must have their own home and keep the cat indoors. Visitors pay for the first hour and then by the minute, with higher weekend rates, and tea, coffee and sweets are included.
