Purrfect Café

Jönköping · 82 mi / 131 km

FinduZz ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠Kattcafé is a cat café with an adoption programme on Nygatan in central Jönköping, in the Västra city district. Opened in 2023 by Alexandra Jackson as the first cat café in Småland, it houses homeless cats from the rescue association Djurens Vänner in Värnamo while they wait for new homes, and more than 200 cats have been adopted through it. The cats live in a separate cat room that visitors enter for a booked session of about an hour with an entry fee, while the plant-filled café area can be used without visiting the cats. Each visit starts with a short introduction to the rules: guests take off their shoes, sanitise their hands, keep noise down and do not carry the cats or wake sleeping ones. The minimum age is eight. The menu includes Swedish pastries, matcha and cat-themed lattes, and board games are available.

Orebro, Örebro · 161 mi / 258 km

Örebro ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌⁠Katthem is a volunteer-run cat shelter and foster-home network on Sockengatan in Örebro that takes in homeless and abandoned cats and finds them new homes. Besides the cats placed in foster homes, a group of cats lives at the shelter's premises, where the public can drop in during open-house hours held every week, alternating between a Wednesday evening in even-numbered weeks and a Sunday afternoon in odd-numbered weeks. Visitors can meet the resident cats, talk to volunteers about them and ask about adoption. Cats are examined by a vet, neutered and vaccinated before they are rehomed, and an adoption fee applies. The shelter publishes profiles of its cats, including those in foster homes, and news of new arrivals and adoptions on its website. It is a shelter rather than a café, and visits centre on meeting cats that are looking for homes.
