Cat Cafe Lviv
Lviv
Cat Cafe Lviv is a cat cafe on Henerala Hryhorenka Square in the centre of Lviv, a short walk from the Lviv Opera House. It was opened in May 2015 by a family displaced from Crimea, first on Stepana Bandery Street, and moved to its current address in 2020. Around 20 resident cats of about a dozen breeds live here, among them Maine Coons, Canadian Sphynxes, Scottish Folds and Straights, a Devon Rex, an Abyssinian, an Ocicat and a British golden chinchilla. The cats roam freely among the tables. There is no entry fee; visitors order from a full menu of coffee, desserts, pizza, pasta and Ukrainian dishes, and can buy treats to feed the cats. Two of the cafe's three rooms are in the basement, which also serves as a shelter during air-raid alerts, and the cafe has stayed open throughout the war. It also sells cat souvenirs.
