Café & bar Šťastné tlapky Fénix
Café & bar Šťastné tlapky Fénix is a cat café on Beckovského street in Havlíčkův Brod, a short walk from Havlíčkovo náměstí, the main square. It is home to eight cats rescued from the street and poor conditions. Owner Lucie Plíhalová opened her first cat café in February 2025 in a former pub near the hospital, but a gas explosion in March 2025 destroyed the building; all eight cats survived, and after a public fundraiser the café reopened at its current address in September 2025 under the name Fénix. The room has scratching posts, beds, shelves and toys throughout, and a low gate inside the door. Homemade open sandwiches, cakes, apple strudel, pizza and toasts are served with coffee, tea, wine and beer, and souvenirs featuring the cats are sold. The café is closed on Thursdays.

The cafe has vintage furniture, a piano, a library and board games, plus the Galerie Felidae with cat-themed exhibitions. Cakes, ice cream and lemonade bases are made in-house. Guests must not give the cats human food, but staff hand out free cat treats that visitors can give them, and children must be accompanied.
