There are 35 cat cafes in Mexico.
Co-feeline
Pachuca, Hidalgo
Co-feeline is a rescue cat cafe at the corner of Avenida 6 and Avenida 11 in Colonia Plutarco Elías Calles, Pachuca. It opened in 2025 as part of an animal welfare group linked to the MasterCat veterinary clinic next door, which rescues, sterilises and rehabilitates street cats. The cats roam the cafe and are available for adoption: visitors can browse a catalogue of adoptable cats and start a responsible adoption process on site. Spending at the cafe goes toward the cats' care; donations of supplies are also accepted. The menu has hot and cold coffee drinks, cat-named frappés and milkshakes, sweet and savoury waffles, boneless wings and desserts, plus treats to buy for the cats. Toys and board games are on hand. The space is small and often staffed by one person, so food can take a while.
