It opened as a cafe with resident cats, but it now presents itself mainly as a coffee shop and a venue for small gatherings, and there are fewer cats than the name suggests. In autumn 2026 the cafe had one resident cat with a litter of kittens born in September, rather than a group of cats or a separate cat lounge, and there is no entry fee. The menu covers coffee, cold coffee, pastries, sandwiches and ramen, and the colourful interior suits quiet visits and casual meals. Visitors coming mainly to spend time with cats should check with the cafe before making a trip.
