Four Lost Cats is a coffee shop and event space on Gangapur Road in Nashik, in the Ajinkyatara building in D.K. Nagar.

In autumn 2026 the cafe had one resident cat with a litter of kittens born in September, rather than a group of cats or a separate cat lounge, and there is no entry fee. The menu covers coffee, cold coffee, pastries, sandwiches and ramen, and the colourful interior suits quiet visits and casual meals. Visitors coming mainly to spend time with cats should check with the cafe before making a trip.
