Cat Cafes in Antwerp

Antwerp

Catcafé Antwerp is the city's first cat cafe, located at Sint-Katelijnevest 50, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium, offering a cozy haven for cat lovers in the heart of the bustling center. Launched in December 2023 by founders Tim Furwerda and Safa Manlayakhaf, this modern shelter twist partners with local rescues like De Ark Van Pollare and Huppeldepup to house adoptable cats, with several already finding homes. Guests can enjoy barista-crafted coffee from local roastery Andy, homemade treats, and a calm space to cuddle, play, or connect with rescue cats. Events like yoga sessions, painting classes, and game nights add a playful vibe. Reservations are recommended, and a small shop offers cat-themed merch and starter kits, making it a wonderful spot to relax, sip, and support feline adoptions.

Antwerp

Kattencafé Katmosfeer is in central Antwerp, Belgium. Its resident cats share the cafe with visitors, and the operator also hosts shelter cats from Pootjesparadijs and Helga's Poezenhuis while they wait for adoption. Guests can order coffee, cold drinks, an aperitif, or cake, then read, play a game, work on a laptop, or let a cat approach on its own terms. A double-door entrance keeps the cats safely inside. The cafe admits visitors from age 12 and asks everyone to follow quiet, cat-first house rules. Reservations are optional, though useful for larger groups. Katmosfeer is a purr-fectly calm stop for coffee with resident cats or a first meeting with a cat that needs a home.
