Nina's Cat Cafe
Tirana
Nina's Cat Cafe is a small rescue cat cafe in central Tirana, on Rruga Vangjush Furxhi just off Rruga Myslym Shyri, a short walk from the Blloku area. Described as the first cat cafe in Albania, it works like an ordinary neighbourhood coffee bar, except that the room is shared with cats rescued from the city's streets. Each cat is checked and treated by a vet before moving in and stays until it is adopted, and the cafe follows up with the new owners afterwards. The space is small, so it usually keeps around five to seven cats, and never more than about ten. There is no entry fee; visitors order drinks such as coffee, fresh juices and soft drinks, and the menu has little or no food. The cafe is named after the founder's own adopted cat, Nina, and is open every day.
