Petit Gatô
Petit Gatô is a cat cafe on Avenida Herval in Zona 07, Maringá, and the first in the city, open since 2024. It works with local animal protection groups and the city to take in rescued cats, which live in a separate glass-fronted cat room that diners can watch from their tables. Visitors pay a small fee for 15-minute sessions inside the room, and the money goes to the cats' care. All the cats are available for adoption, with an interview as part of the process. The menu includes specialty coffee, cappuccino, teas, toasts, focaccia, stuffed pão de queijo, salads, a cat-faced cake, a house brunch and petit gâteau, the dish the cafe is named after. With Wi-Fi and quiet tables, it is also used as a place to work on a laptop. The cafe is closed on Mondays.
