PAWS CAFE

Paws Cafe opened in January 2019 as Shropshire’s first Cat Cafe. The concept is very different to your normal cafe or coffee shop. We have 11 resident cats inside, here you pay for your time and not your drinks. During your stay non alcoholic drinks are included (subject to time stayed). It’s certainly a unique experience and with over 200,000 visitors since we opened, it’s hugely popular.

The first cat cafe opened in Taiwan called Cat Flower Garden in 1998. In 2005 Japan opened it’s first cat cafe in Tokyo and since then there are almost 150 cat cafe’s in Japan, with 58 of these in Tokyo! Cat cafe’s quickly spread across the world as this amazing idea took off with international cat lovers.

Paws Cafe – Owners Katie and James started working on the cafe in July 2018 after finishing their previous careers. Katie, a Teacher and James a Production Engineer. Katie took James to another cat cafe in the UK and he loved the chilled out and calm environment, being a mad cat fan he wanted to start his own cat cafe!

					  Visited with my partner earlier this week - tried to walk in and were informed that they regularly do quiet hours for people with autism or hidden disabilities (at the... read more time of our arrival as well), so we booked for the next day instead. The steps were simple. Pay, £6/person for half an hour, which included unlimited hot and cold drinks. Additional time of course is fine (and charged) as well as cakes and alcoholic drinks if you fancy. The cats were gorgeous and very lively, played, ate, drank a lot, and interacted with all customers. To be fair, half an hour seemed plenty, but I can imagine hanging out with them for hours on end. The one thing I must mention, is the interior design, not only from customer point of view (comfy sofas everywhere!), but the cats had a lot of toys, scratching posts, more I've seen in any cat cafs I've visited before.
