Cat Cafes in Nuevo Leon

San Nicolas De Los Garza, Nuevo Leon

Central Cats is a cat cafe in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood of San Nicolás de los Garza, in northern metro Monterrey, decorated as a tribute to the TV series Friends, with a Central Perk-style sofa and themed dishes such as Joey's meatball sub. The resident cats live in a separate room with their beds, toys and bowls, where guests can sit with them; only drinks are allowed in the cat area, and a second dining room without cats suits visitors with allergies or those who want to eat. The menu covers breakfasts such as chilaquiles, cheesecake and other desserts, espresso drinks, flavored and seasonal lattes, matcha, taro and chai. Board games are available. The cafe holds kitten adoption events with the rescue group Cultura Perrona, as well as cat yoga and art workshops. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, with the kitchen closing at 8:30 PM.

San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon

Mon Minou is a French-style cat cafe on Avenida Lázaro Cárdenas in Zona Valle Oriente, San Pedro Garza García. It was founded in 2023 by Jeremy Begue and Ismaël Astaoui and works with the rescue group Proyecto Salvavidas, so the cats living in the cafe are rescues waiting for adoption. Visitors who want to adopt meet the cats in the cafe first and are then guided through the adoption process. The kitchen serves French dishes and pastries such as quiche, croque monsieur, eclairs and tarte tatin, alongside coffee, chai, matcha, teas, smoothies and shakes. House rules are printed at the start of the menu: guests use hand sanitiser on arrival, do not feed the cats and leave them alone when they rest, and children under 10 are not admitted. Visitors may not bring their own pets. The cafe has free parking and is closed on Mondays.
