Lipetsk

Murgrad is a cat time-cafe on Pervomayskaya Ulitsa in Lipetsk, the larger of the two branches of the city's first cat cafe, which opened in 2020.

Visitors pay by length of stay, from half an hour to a full day, and drinks and snacks are included. This branch has more than 150 board games and an Xbox, hosts Friday game nights, Dungeons & Dragons sessions, workshops, talks and birthday parties, and can be used as a coworking space. Guests take off their shoes and wear disposable socks, wash their hands, and may not pick up or hold the cats; children under 14 must come with a parent. Opening times change often and are posted on the cafe's Telegram channel.
