Cat Cafes in North Yorkshire

York

The Cat’s Whiskers is the city’s only cat cafe, housed in a charming Grade II listed building just a stone’s throw from the iconic York Minster. This cozy haven offers a serene escape where visitors can sip on hot and cold drinks—think expertly brewed coffees, soothing teas, or refreshing smoothies—while enjoying delectable, locally crafted cakes from The White Cherry Bakery, with vegan and gluten-free options always on hand. The cafe’s resident rescue cats, each with their own unique story from the Cat Rescue and Welfare Trust, roam freely across two inviting floors, from the accessible ground level to the upstairs Minster and Library Rooms, creating a purr-fect blend of relaxation and feline companionship. With its £8 hourly admission fee supporting the cats’ care, The Cat’s Whiskers combines a tranquil atmosphere, picturesque views, and a heartfelt mission to find these furry friends their forever homes.
