Cat Cafes in Xian, Shaanxi

Xian, Shaanxi

Momi Forest Postcard & Cat Café is a hidden gem of a cat cafe located within the historic Old City Walls of Xi’an, China, near the Beidajie metro stop (Lines 1 & 2), offering a delightful mix of feline companionship and postcard services. Part of the renowned Mo Mi Café chain, known in China for allowing patrons to purchase and send postcards into the future—up to five years—this location, named 猫的天空之城概念 (The Cat’s Sky in Between the City), uniquely blends a cat café experience, making it a standout destination for cat lovers. Housed in a small, intimate space with just four tables, the café features a dedicated wall of postcard slots and a “catty” atmosphere, ideal for those who adore felines but potentially unsuitable for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. The menu is concise, offering beverages like iced lattes priced at 70 yuan ($10.14), which, while premium for China, reflect the exceptional experience of interacting with approximately 15 affectionate resident cats. These well-cared-for felines, known for their friendliness, eagerly seek petting, lap time, or simply proximity, creating a warm and energetic environment, especially during the café’s mid-afternoon to evening hours. Managed by a welcoming staff, Momi Forest Postcard & Cat Café provides a memorable, cat-centric retreat in Xi’an’s vibrant cultural heart, perfect for travelers seeking both feline affection and a unique postal tradition.
