Cat Cafes in Angers, Pays de la Loire

Angers, Pays de la Loire

Cats ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌⁠and Cookies is a bar à chats and coffee shop on Rue de la Roë in central Angers, a few minutes from Place du Ralliement. Opened in August 2020 as the city's first cat bar, it is home to about ten sociable cats fostered for the SPA d'Angers (SPAA), all available for adoption; the owners act as volunteer foster carers, and the cats are sterilised, identified, vaccinated, tested and wormed before they arrive. The cats have high perches, a private area behind a glass wall and an outdoor courtyard reserved for them, and visitors may stroke and play with them but not pick them up or feed them. Adoption follows regular visits to get to know a cat, then an application; the fee is the SPA's €110, and adopters need at least 30 square metres of living space. Visitors can walk in without booking, and tables can be reserved for lunch between noon and 2 PM. The menu has homemade pastries such as cookies, brookies and tiramisu, organic or local drinks and bagels from €8.50. It has board games and hosts game nights and sewing workshops.
