Kotiki i Kofe
Kotiki i Kofe ("Cats and Coffee") is a cat cafe on the ground floor of a building in the Mikrorayon district of Gus-Khrustalny. Opened in July 2025 by local volunteers, it is the town's first cat cafe and was set up to tackle the problem of homeless cats. Rescued cats live in the cafe, where visitors can drink coffee, play with them and watch how they behave, and anyone who finds a cat they want to adopt is helped with the paperwork by the volunteers. The cafe shares before-and-after stories of cats it has nursed back to health. Opening hours vary through the week, with shorter afternoon hours on Thursdays and Fridays and at weekends.
