O Gato Café SJP
O Gato Café SJP is a cat cafe on Rua Doutor Manoel Ribeiro de Campos in the centre of São José dos Pinhais, in the Curitiba metropolitan area. Opened in August 2025 as the first cafe with cats in the city, it is a small, poster-filled coffee bar where visitors have coffee, hot chocolate, sweets and savoury snacks with about ten resident cats nearby. The cats live in an enclosed area next to the cafe, and visitors can go in to spend time with them in what the cafe calls cat therapy. The resident cats are not for adoption, and the cafe does not take in rescues. Visitors' own pets are not allowed, to protect the cats. No booking is needed, but entry depends on how full the cafe is. It is closed on Tuesdays.

The visit is charged per person, children up to 8 enter free, seniors over 60 pay half, and children under 10 must be with an adult.

Cat Café Peticas
Botucatu, São Paulo189 mi / 305 km
Cat Café Peticas is a weekly cat cafe run by the Gatil Peticas adoption project at the Peticas veterinary clinic on Avenida Santana in central Botucatu, opposite a Burger King. Every Wednesday afternoon the cattery opens as a cafe: visitors can have coffee, cakes and savory snacks, play with the rescued cats and kittens, and learn about volunteering. Sales of food and drink help fund the project's work. The cattery is also open for visits on Saturday mornings, mainly for people interested in adopting. All the cats are rescues looking for homes, and adoption involves an interview over WhatsApp, photos or videos of the home, a home visit and delivery of the cat, with homes required to have secure walls or window screens. Opening times are short, so it is worth checking the project's Instagram before going.
