Bad Cat Café & Rescue
Wallsend, Tyne And Wear
Bad Cat Café & Rescue is a small volunteer-run cat cafe and rescue on High Street East in Wallsend, North Tyneside. All of its cats are rescues, often older cats or cats with special needs such as blindness or deafness that tend to be overlooked in shelters, and every cat is available for adoption as an indoor cat after the rescue's vetting process. The cafe passed its 200th adoption in 2026. Visits are by appointment only, booked through the cafe's Facebook page, with a modest admission fee and free entry for children under four. Quiet sessions for people with autism, sensory needs or learning difficulties run on Saturday afternoons. The menu is simple, with hot drinks, cakes and brownies, and afternoon teas, including children's versions, can be booked with admission included. The rescue also offers cat sitting to raise funds and looks for long-term foster homes.
