Kumiko Cat Lounge
Belfast
Kumiko Cat Lounge is a rescue cat lounge on the Upper Newtownards Road in Ballyhackamore, east Belfast, opened in May 2026 as Northern Ireland's first cat lounge. It works with Belfast Kitten Rescue, and every cat in the lounge is a rescue waiting for adoption; around a dozen live there at a time, including bonded pairs that must be rehomed together. Visitors remove their shoes, make themselves a drink and spend a session in a calm room with high perches, cosy beds and retreat areas, with Cat Butlers on hand. Sessions are small and booked online, and the cats choose whether to interact, so picking up or waking them is not allowed. Visitors must be 10 or older, with one adult for up to two children aged 10 to 11. Coffee, tea, cold drinks and simple snacks are available. The lounge is closed on Tuesdays.
