O Porto dos Gatos

O Porto dos Gatos, located at Av. de Rodrigues de Freitas 93, 4300-466 Porto, Portugal, is the city’s first cat café, offering a 100% vegetarian haven where guests can enjoy plant-based meals and soothing cat cuddles in the heart of Porto’s Bonfim district. Open Monday to Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, Friday from 2:30 PM to 11:30 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM (closed Sundays), this cozy retreat—founded by cat lovers Joana and Fátima—partners with the Vida de Gato association to shelter and care for rescue cats, many of whom are available for responsible adoption. Visitors can relax in the dedicated “Cat’s Room” or watch the felines nap in the sunny patio, all while savoring affordable, eco-friendly fare in a welcoming atmosphere that’s tough to leave. Just a short stroll from Porto’s historic center, O Porto dos Gatos blends compassion, sustainability, and feline charm, making it a purr-fect stop for locals and tourists alike.
