Cat Cafes in Verdun, Quebec

Verdun, Quebec

Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​⁠Chato is a vegetarian cat cafe on Rue de Verdun, the main commercial street of Montreal's Verdun borough. Opened in 2018 and run as a cooperative, it works exclusively with Refuge Animex, and every cat in the cafe is available for adoption. Around ten cats live there at a time, so the residents change as they find homes. Cats roam freely among the tables, and the back of the cafe is reserved as a quiet area for them and the staff. There is no entry fee or booking: visitors order coffee, pastries or vegetarian dishes such as paninis, soups and curry, and purchases help fund the cats' care. Rules ask guests not to pick up or feed the cats, to keep noise down and to supervise children. Wi-Fi and outlets make it popular for studying, and private events can be booked after hours.
