El Mundo de Dalí Catcafé is a cat cafe on Avenida Condell in Barrio Italia, Providencia, Santiago. It opened on 11 August 2016, first on Dr. Johow in Ñuñoa before moving to Barrio Italia, and is regarded as the first permanent cat cafe in Chile and South America. About a dozen cats, most of them rescued through foundations the cafe sponsors, live on site and wander among the tables while visitors order coffee, cakes, waffles, sandwiches and vegan options. There is no separate entry fee; visitors order from the menu. Places are limited, so booking a table on the website is recommended, especially at weekends. Children are welcome with an adult who makes sure the cat welfare rules are followed, though the visit is not recommended for children under six. After ten years the cafe has announced that it will close permanently in October 2026.

La Casa de la Gata Horacia is a cat cafe in a house on Julio Prado at the corner of Dr. Torres Boonen in Providencia, Santiago. Open since 2016, it grew out of a 2015 cat cafe pop-up run by Fundación Adopta, and its cat hosts are rescues from the foundation's Santuario Emilia, all of them available for adoption. The cats roam the cafe rooms and a play area, and staff explain the house rules before visitors spend time with them. The menu is vegetarian and largely vegan, with sandwiches, pizzas, cakes and coffee, and each visitor is asked to order a minimum amount. There are no reservations; visitors are seated on arrival, so there can be a wait at busy times. Adoptions go through Fundación Adopta's interview process, and the cafe also holds adoption days, sells cat books and gifts, and has hosted yoga, workshops and talks.

Buin, Región Metropolitana · 20 mi / 32 km

Naranjosos Cat Café is a small family-run cat cafe and cat refuge in the Maipo area of Buin, in the south of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, on José Joaquín Pérez. The family has taken in cats rescued from around the comuna, many of them abandoned or mistreated, and the cats share the home-style cafe with visitors, often settling on laps while the owners tell each cat's story. The menu is simple and homemade, with burgers, pancakes with dulce de leche, banana milk, coffee and sweets. The cafe opens in the late afternoon and evening every day, and visits can be arranged earlier by appointment through WhatsApp. It is a modest, informal space rather than a polished cafe, and the rooms can be cold in winter, so warm clothing helps.
