Tabby Teas
Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Tabby Teas is Sheffield's first cat cafe, opened in 2017 on Cemetery Road in Highfield, a short way south-west of the city centre near Sharrow and the Sheffield General Cemetery. It is the permanent home of up to eight rescue cats, who have shelves, cat trees and quiet spots to retreat to. Visits are booked in advance as 60-minute sessions with an entry fee, which is higher at weekends, and each session is capped at 10 people with a short break between sessions. Guests must be at least 12, and 12 to 14 year olds must come with an adult. Shoe covers are provided and the cats must not be picked up. The cafe serves locally roasted coffee, loose teas and cakes, including vegan and gluten-free brownies. The cats live at the cafe permanently and are not rehomed.
