Cat Cafes in Jordan

Amman

Cat Jungle is a jungle-themed cat lounge in the basement of the Dorra Khalda Complex on Wasfi Al Tal Street in Khalda, west Amman, below a Bank of Jordan branch. It keeps more than 70 cats of many breeds and mixes, described by the venue as rescued, who roam freely around the room. Portraits of the resident cats with their names hang on the walls. Visits are paid by time, in short sessions of about 15 to 30 minutes, with longer offers at times, and staff hand out food so visitors can feed the cats. Drinks such as coffee are available but not required. The lounge is popular with families and children and also hosts birthday parties. Free parking is available at the complex, and the lounge is open every day.

Amman

Bast Space is a rescue cat café on Nemr Al-Edwan Street in Jabal Al-Lweibdeh, central Amman, and describes itself as Jordan's first cat café. It was founded in 2020 by veterinarian Abdulrahman Jadallah, whose clinic is upstairs, and the name stands for Benefaction for Animal Save and Treatment. The cats are former street cats that have been treated, vaccinated and neutered, and they roam freely around the café; some are disabled, including cats that are blind or have old injuries. Many of the cats are available for adoption. Entry is a flat fee that includes a drink, and the café serves coffee, tea and cold drinks but no food. Books and board games are available, and the quiet room is also used for studying and working. The café is open every afternoon and evening.

Amman

PEAK Center is a pet care centre and garden café on the Dead Sea Road beyond Na'ur, about 15 minutes' drive from Amman's 7th Circle. The name stands for Pet Care, Enlightenment, Activities and Kindness. Alongside a veterinary clinic and pet boarding, it has a cat café and a large catio where visitors spend time with street cats rescued and cared for by the centre. Entry is by ticket, which includes a drink, and the café serves breakfast, drinks, snacks and shisha. The grounds also have a children's play area with swings, slides and trampolines, goats, chickens and free-roaming peacocks, terraces with views over the hills, and a hilltop lookout. The centre opened in 2025 and is open every day from morning until late evening, which makes it a family day out as much as a cat café.
