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!

					  Firstly wanted to say thank you to the staff and the cats at the cafe. We jad a nice first visit to the cafe. Staff were polite and enthusiastic, cats... read more beautiful and friendly. 

However the cost of afternoon tea was very expensive and not worth the cost. £81.00 for three for an hour. Not enough time to enjoy a leisurely tea and enjoy the cats. The food was ok but for £27.00 a head, not great value for money when you consider you get free drinks for £12 for an hour if you booked just for drinks and a cat experience. Tea includes three small 1/4 sandwiches and small sausage roll and scone and piece of cake for an extra £15.00. I feel if you book for afternoon tea

 it should be for an hour and half as this would make it better value and also less rushed. 

We would return but would not have afternoon tea again.

					  We visited Paws Cat Cafe today as a family get-together. It is a friendly, calm, cosy, and welcoming environment. The staff clearly love their cats, and the cats seem to... read more love their home. Great drinks included, and cakes looked great. We would definitely go again.

A few highlights; lovely staff (the cats clearly adore them!) and very helpful to customers too!... read more The drinks are lovely, and the cats are very friendly, especially the Maine coon cat Darwin (see the photos- one with the bow tie!) all cats seem very happy and content and the facilities for them are great. 

We booked online and it was a very smooth process

Definitely worth a visit for all cat lovers 🙂
