Moon Cat & Caffè
Trani, Puglia
Moon Cat & Caffè is a cafe with resident cats on Piazzale Luigi Chiarelli in Trani, opened in October 2025 by Rosaria Lopopolo as the first cat cafe in Puglia. Around five cats live here, among them Nala, the brothers Giustino and Mimmo, Pino and the young Fiorella, all taken in from shelters or rescued from the street. They roam the cat-themed room and an outdoor area. Visitors ring at the entrance and pass through a double door that keeps the cats inside. Guests can stop at the counter for a quick coffee or sit at a table for up to 50 minutes, with a small per-person contribution toward the cats' care. Cats are not to be picked up or fed, flash photography is not allowed, and children under 12 must be supervised. The cafe serves breakfast with pastries and cat-shaped biscuits through to aperitivo.
