Kiko's Cat Cafe
Rye, East Sussex
Kiko's Cat Cafe is a rescue cat cafe on Winchelsea Road in Rye, East Sussex, within walking distance of the town centre and with two public car parks close by. Opened in September 2023, it moved in late 2025 from its first site at Rother Iron Works to a larger venue at 22a Winchelsea Road. The cats are fosters waiting for new homes, and adoptions are arranged with the partner charity PAW Society through an application, an independent home visit and a meeting with the whole household. Visits are hour-long sessions with an entry fee, booked online, and walk-ins are accepted when there is space. Guests must be 8 or older, remove their shoes and wash their hands on arrival, and leave bags in the boot room. The cafe serves specialty coffee, cakes, milkshakes and paninis, and runs occasional movie nights, birthday packages and a cat sponsorship scheme.
