Cat Cafes in Telangana

Hyderabad, Telangana

The Pet Cafe Hyderabad is a rescue dog and cat cafe in a residential lane off Road No. 12 in Banjara Hills, next to Suvasa. It was founded by Deven Baheti, who also runs the animal rescue Deven's Hope, and is home to rescued dogs and cats, several of them unadoptable because of age or disability, while others are waiting for new homes through the rescue. The dogs roam the ground floor behind a staffed gate, and the cats live upstairs in a separate, padded cat room where visitors can sit with them. A cover charge per person is payable on entry and can be redeemed against food and drink from a vegetarian cafe menu of sandwiches, pasta, desserts and coffee. Guests may bring their own pets, and there is a separate menu of treats for animals. The cafe also offers pet boarding.
