El Tío Félix
Merida, Yucatan
El Tío Félix is a cat cafe in Colonia Roma, in the west of Mérida. It opened as El Gato Félix in late 2024 and was renamed and enlarged in December 2025, adding more space and more cats. The resident cats are rescues, including black cats, and the cafe promotes responsible adoption, giving adopters advice on settling a cat into a new home. The air-conditioned cafe has a separate cat room where visitors can sit with the cats, plus a dining area without cats for those who prefer it. The menu covers coffee, tea, smoothies, frappés, breakfasts such as chilaquiles, sandwiches, salads and waffles, served on cat-themed tableware. Guests are asked not to feed the cats, and parents are given rules for visits with children. There are board games, plugs for working or studying, and free parking.
