Murrdovia
Saransk, Mordovia
Murrdovia is a cat space on Vasenko Street in Saransk, next to the Biokhimik stop, run by Druzhba Naveki, a local animal shelter. It is the only place in the city where the public can spend time with cats. All of the resident cats are rescues looking for homes, and visitors can apply to adopt one; the space regularly shares news of cats that have been rehomed. A visit is paid as a flat entry fee that goes to the shelter, and tea and coffee are available in a small kitchen, and there are board games and hanging swing chairs to sit in among the cats. The space also works as a coworking spot and hosts group workshops for up to ten people and private bookings such as birthdays. It moved to larger premises in spring 2026 and is open Wednesday to Sunday.
