Bastet Cat Café
Tijuana, Baja California
Bastet Cat Café is a rescue cat cafe on Calle Gladiolas in Colonia El Prado, Tijuana, one block from Boulevard Agua Caliente and about four blocks from Plaza Galerías Hipódromo. Opened in 2015, it was the first cat cafe in Baja California and gives a temporary home to cats taken in from the street or from abuse cases. Between 30 and 45 cats of all ages live loose in two cat rooms, and visitors pay a small entry charge and can move between the rooms freely. The cafe serves coffee drinks, cakes, pastries and snacks, with combos that include a drink, a slice of cake and entry to the cat area, and it has books, games and a shop of cat merchandise. Cats are vaccinated, dewormed and sterilised before adoption, which requires official ID, proof of address, an adoption form and a recovery fee. Bastet also runs free sterilisation drives.

Mexico City
31 Gatitos is a cat cafe and shelter on Calle 17 in San Pedro de los Pinos, Benito Juárez, almost at the corner of Avenida Revolución and a short walk from San Pedro de los Pinos Metro station.

The cats now live in a separate room off the dining area, which visitors can enter and stay in for as long as they like. The menu is fully vegan, with burgers, snacks, desserts such as cat-shaped conchas, Italian sodas, coffee and alcoholic drinks.

Catfecito
Mexico City
Catfecito is the cat cafe of La Casa del Gato Gazzu, a non-profit that has rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed street cats in Mexico City for more than fifteen years. It is on Avenida Baja California in Hipódromo Condesa, a few steps from Chilpancingo Metro station. Rescued cats roam the small dining room freely, and all of them can be adopted through the association's application process. The menu is cat-themed, with burgers and pastries shaped like cats, wings, milkshakes, coffee drinks and Meow craft beer, and there is a shop corner with cat merchandise. Money spent at the cafe goes towards the cats' food, sterilisation and veterinary care. The space is small and fills up at weekends, so expect a wait for a table, and staff ask visitors, including children, to handle the cats gently. It is closed on Mondays.

Meow Cat Café
Mexico City
Meow Cat Café is a rescue cat cafe on Avenida Nuevo León in Hipódromo, Condesa, run by an independent cat rescuer who has worked with street cats since 2012. It is a few blocks from Catfecito and Chilpancingo Metro station. Food and drinks are ordered at the counter, and the rescued cats and kittens live in a separate room next door, which visitors enter to play with them, and a cover charge may apply to the cat area on top of what you order. House rules ask guests not to pick up or feed the cats. All the cats are up for adoption through a form, ID check and interview. The menu has coffee, frappés, cat-themed drinks, ciabattas and desserts, and the adjoining Vintage y Gatos shop sells cat gifts and supplies.

Mundo Mistu'
Mexico City
Mundo Mistu' is a cat welfare centre and adoption lounge on the first floor of the Pasaje Capital arcade on Avenida 20 de Noviembre in the Centro Histórico, about a block from Pino Suárez Metro station. It was opened as Mistu' Café by two independent rescuers, and since early 2026 it no longer serves food or drinks after an inspection by the Cuauhtémoc borough. Visitors can still come in to spend time with the rescued cats, which have numbered more than twenty at a time, and browse a shop of cat supplies, toys and gifts. The cats are vaccinated, dewormed and sterilised with a specialist cat clinic before they join the lounge, and adoption is free but involves a questionnaire, an interview, documents and delivery to the new home. Mundo Mistu' also runs workshops, cat grooming classes and fundraising outings.

Michi Cat Café
Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco
Michi Cat Café opened in 2022 as the first cat cafe in Puerto Vallarta and sits on Calle Niza in the Versalles and Díaz Ordaz area, inland from the hotel zone. Its resident cat Mandarina is joined by rescued cats and kittens waiting for adoption, which the cafe places with homes in cooperation with local animal welfare groups, so the number of cats varies from visit to visit. It is a full cafe and restaurant serving breakfast, chilaquiles, burritos, salads, waffles, smoothies, ice cream and cat-themed coffees, with cat-shaped ice cubes and paw prints on some dishes. Guests are given a cat drawing to colour while they wait and can paint a mug or tote bag, play board games or browse a small shop of cat jewellery, T-shirts and mugs.

Coffee & CATS Tampico

Coffee & CATS Tampico was the first cat cafe in southern Tamaulipas, opened around 2023 on the Tampico–Mante highway in colonia Roma, between Córcega and Génova streets. It is run by sisters Ale and Addy Romero, who look after a large resident group of cats, around 35 at one count, that roam and play throughout the cafe and are generally friendly with visitors. The menu uses cat names and shapes throughout: espresso drinks such as the catpuccino and ameowricano, frappés, iced drinks and Italian sodas, salads, sandwiches, pizza and homemade cat-shaped pastries and cakes. The cafe also sells cat-themed accessories, hosts live music on some evenings and organises birthday parties. It promotes sterilisation and responsible adoption and runs raffles to cover vet costs for cats in need. The cafe is pet friendly and opens in the evenings, Tuesday to Sunday.
Neko-hi Café
Guadalajara, Jalisco
Neko-hi Café is a cat cafe at Avenida de la Paz 2155, interior D, in the Lafayette part of Colonia Americana, Guadalajara, a few blocks west of Avenida Chapultepec. It bills itself as the first cat cafe in Guadalajara and has a Japanese-inspired interior where around eight or nine cats of different breeds and mixes roam among the tables, each introduced by name on the walls. Visitors walk in without booking and order from a menu of coffee, cat-themed drinks, cookies, Japanese cheesecake and other desserts and snacks, and staff explain the house rules before guests meet the cats: no picking them up without permission and respect for their space. Children are welcome when parents make sure the rules are followed. Some of the cats are available for adoption through the cafe. Board games, drawing materials and plush-toy claw machines are on hand. It closes on Mondays and public holidays.

La Casa de los Gatos
Guadalajara, Jalisco
La Casa de los Gatos is a cultural centre, gallery and bistro in an old house at Pino Suárez 319, in the Centro Barranquitas neighbourhood of central Guadalajara. Gabriela Núñez opened it in early 2026 as a sister project of El Gatuario, a small rescue that finds homes for cats. The rescued cats live in the house, and the centre describes every visit as support for them. The bistro serves coffee, cold brew with tonic, wine including Mexican wines from the Valle de Guadalupe, tostas, charcuterie boards and cookies, and there is a terrace. The house also runs stained-glass and mosaic courses, a film club, art exhibitions and theatre: in August 2026 two performances of Molière’s The Misanthrope sold out, and an April 2026 group show auctioned its works to raise money for El Gatuario. In October 2026 it opened on Fridays from 3 PM to 11 PM and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 11 PM. Enquiries and bookings go through Instagram direct messages or the phone number 33 2020 2929.
