Qi Le Cat Cafe
This location has permanently closed.
Qi Le Cat Cafe (淇乐名猫生活馆) was a pedigree cat cafe and cattery in Shanghai, founded in 2010 and billed as the city's first cafe devoted to purebred cats. It began at 1161 Shaanxi North Road near Anyuan Road in Jing'an and later moved to the 13th floor of an office building on Changde Road in Putuo, near Changshou Road. Nearly twenty well-groomed cats, mostly long-haired breeds, roamed its Mediterranean-blue lounge, and visitors paid an entry fee that could include coffee and dessert, about ¥68 on weekends in 2019. It was not an adoption cafe: kittens bred there were kept in a separate area and sold, the youngest for up to about ¥15,000.

Cat Cafes Nearby
Chen Xiao Mao Cafe & Bar
Shanghai1.7 mi / 2.8 km
Chen Xiao Mao, earlier known as Xu Xiao Mao de Dian, is a small cat-themed cafe and bar inside the Changle Cun residential lanes off South Shaanxi Road in Huangpu, a short walk from South Shaanxi Road station. It has run for close to ten years under a Taiwanese owner. A few resident cats, former strays, wander the room and climb onto empty chairs; they are shy, and staff hand out treats so guests can win them over. It works as a coffee shop by day and a cocktail bar at night, with homemade cakes and cookies. The entrance is hard to find inside the lane, so calling ahead helps.
