Puerto Montt, Los Lagos, Chile
Miaow Cat Café
Miaow Cat Café is a cat cafe on Avenida Austral in the Jardín Oriente area of Puerto Montt, and the only cat cafe in the city. Several resident cats live in a space built with shelves and resting places for them, and they sleep, play and watch visitors while staff introduce each cat by name. A sign at the entrance sets out the rules for handling the cats, and the staff ask visitors to keep noise down so the cats stay calm, which makes it better suited to older children and adults than to toddlers. The menu covers coffee, frappuccinos, cakes, pizzas and sandwiches, with a menu online. Reservations are taken by phone or message, and the cafe opens Wednesday to Sunday in the afternoon and early evening.

Naranjosos Cat Café
Buin, Región Metropolitana547 mi / 880 km
Naranjosos Cat Café is a small family-run cat cafe and cat refuge in the Maipo area of Buin, in the south of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, on José Joaquín Pérez. The family has taken in cats rescued from around the comuna, many of them abandoned or mistreated, and the cats share the home-style cafe with visitors, often settling on laps while the owners tell each cat's story. The menu is simple and homemade, with burgers, pancakes with dulce de leche, banana milk, coffee and sweets. The cafe opens in the late afternoon and evening every day, and visits can be arranged earlier by appointment through WhatsApp. It is a modest, informal space rather than a polished cafe, and the rooms can be cold in winter, so warm clothing helps.

Eight resident cats, including Cleopatra, Hipatia, Bastet, Osiris, Nefertiti and Platón, live in the house and move freely among the tables, and each house tea blend is named after one of them. The menu covers loose-leaf teas served in pots, homemade cakes and pastries, ice cream and a few savoury dishes, with vegan options. The rooms double as a small cat museum, with cat paintings, sculptures and a large cat mural, and there is a shop with cat-themed gifts.
