Cookie Cat Café San Antonio
Cali, Valle del Cauca
Cookie Cat Café is a cat cafe and pet shop in a house on Calle 3 in San Antonio, Cali's historic hillside neighbourhood, close to the San Antonio church and park. It was founded by Mayra Pájaro in memory of Galleta, a kitten she rescued in Barranquilla, and supports its sister foundation Huellitas Callejeras, a Barranquilla rescue group that every visit and purchase helps fund. The cafe serves coffee, milkshakes, desserts and themed food on the ground floor and terrace, while the rescued cats live upstairs in a separate cat area and a third-floor cat garden. Several of the cats have FIV or feline leukaemia, conditions that often bar them from other shelters, and many are available for adoption. Ceramic painting and cat yoga sessions are held, and a cat-themed coworking space, Catworking, operates in the same building.
