La Catfetería
La Catfetería is a small cafe with a cat area on Lorenzo Boturini in Jardín Balbuena, Venustiano Carranza. Rescued cats, most of them waiting for adoption, share the space with customers, who can play with and stroke them while they eat, and the cafe introduces individual cats on its social media. The menu has espresso drinks, seasonal lattes, infusions, ciabattas and desserts, with cat faces drawn on some of the coffees, and there is also a takeaway window. Spending at the cafe helps pay for the cats' care. It is a quiet neighbourhood spot that welcomes children, and it is closed on Mondays.

Mundo Mistu'
Mexico City1.4 mi / 2.3 km
Mundo Mistu' is a cat welfare centre and adoption lounge on the first floor of the Pasaje Capital arcade on Avenida 20 de Noviembre in the Centro Histórico, about a block from Pino Suárez Metro station. It was opened as Mistu' Café by two independent rescuers, and since early 2026 it no longer serves food or drinks after an inspection by the Cuauhtémoc borough. Visitors can still come in to spend time with the rescued cats, which have numbered more than twenty at a time, and browse a shop of cat supplies, toys and gifts. The cats are vaccinated, dewormed and sterilised with a specialist cat clinic before they join the lounge, and adoption is free but involves a questionnaire, an interview, documents and delivery to the new home. Mundo Mistu' also runs workshops, cat grooming classes and fundraising outings.
