Karuna Cat Café
Concepción, Biobío
Karuna Cat Café is the cat cafe of Karuna Clínica Felina, a feline veterinary clinic on Calle Ejército between Paicaví and Janequeo in central Concepción. Opened in August 2023 as the city's first cat cafe, it is a small room with a handful of tables where six or seven cats, including rescued kittens and cats recovering from illness or disability, roam freely and climb onto visitors' laps. All the cats are looking for homes, and visitors can apply to adopt them through the clinic's responsible adoption process. Visits are booked in advance online for a one-hour slot, and the booking fee is deducted from what visitors order. The short menu has coffee from the in-house barista, cat-named drinks such as a vanilla catpuccino and hot chocolate, cinnamon rolls and other sweets. Visitors may not bring their own pets, and staff ask guests to handle the cats gently.
