The ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​⁠Kit-Tea Café is a cat cafe on Cockburn Street in Falkirk town centre, a short walk from Falkirk Grahamston station. It is run as a non-profit community interest company focused on mental health, and the entry fees and drink sales go into a fund for the cats. All the resident cats were rescued, rehomed or abandoned, and the cafe is their permanent home; it does not keep pedigree cats. Visits are one-hour sessions for small groups and should be booked ahead. General sessions are for ages 8 and up, with no more than two children per adult, and separate shorter Toe Bean sessions let one adult bring one child under 8. Tea, coffee and pre-packaged snacks are served rather than meals. The cats have a quiet room and bedroom away from visitors, and guests are asked not to pick them up or bring treats.
