Minsk · 3.6 mi / 5.8 km

Koshachi ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​⁠Space is a cat anticafe on Bykhovskaya Street in Minsk, a couple of minutes' walk from Kovalskaya Sloboda metro station. It opened in the summer of 2026, and every cat living there was once a stray; the volunteer on duty tells visitors about each cat's character, and the cats can be adopted. As an anticafe it charges for time rather than food: in October 2026 entry with the first hour cost 20 Belarusian rubles on weekdays and 26 rubles at weekends, or 33 and 50 rubles for unlimited time that day, with tea, biscuits, books and board games included. It does not cook or make coffee, but guests may bring their own snacks or have pizza delivered, and laptops are welcome. The cats have plenty of scratching posts, shelves and beds, a large secured window and a private area they can retreat to, and staff explain how to behave around them before you go in. It is open from 3 PM to 9 PM and closed on Mondays and Thursdays. Places are limited, so book through the space's Instagram messages. The entrance is the first door on the left in the passage between the buildings, not the main stairwell, and there is no obvious sign.
