Katzenlounge Ciao Mau
Chemnitz, Sachsen
Katzenlounge Ciao Mau is a small cat cafe on Agricolastraße at the corner of Ulmenstraße in Chemnitz's Kaßberg district. Opened in February 2023 as the city's first cat cafe, it is home to five resident cats, who have climbing walls and a separate retreat room. There is no entry fee; guests order coffee, cakes, cupcakes, ice cream and small savoury dishes at the counter. Visits are planned at about two hours, tables for up to four can be booked online, and some seats are kept for walk-ins. Guests pass through a double-door entry where they disinfect shoe soles and hands. Children under five are not admitted, and children aged five to twelve need a Katzenführerschein, a cat etiquette licence earned during a supervised visit; groups of three or more children are not accepted. Besides its regular hours, the cafe opens on selected Sundays announced in advance.
