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!

					  Just been for my Birthday treat visit to Paws. And as always it was a lovely, calm experience. Katie, James and the team have created a wonderful haven for cat... read more lovers! The cats were inquisitive and happy! And the hot chocolate was divine! So glad that this gem is on our doorstep! Thank you Paws! We love you!

					  I have visited this Cafe multiple times over the past year, and myself and the friends/family I have visited with have always enjoyed ourselves.

The cafe is well maintained,... read more and has a relaxed atmosphere, and the cats are free to wander about as they please, along with some areas visitors cannot get to if they don't want to be disturbed.

Staff have always been polite and courteous, and happy to answer peoples questions about the cats.

I have visited twice since lockdown, with this weekend being my most recent, and even with fewer people being allowed in at a time, the cafe remains a lovely place to take a break.

The cats themselves all have their own personalities, some are happier to come up to people than others, some will just wander around the store minding their own business, and others will be too occupied chasing eachother round. After so many trips, I have gotten to know which of the cats are the friendlier ones, and seem to have made good friends with Cappuchino.

The price is very reaonable, with a minimum booking of 30 minutes, and sessions costing £1 per person for every 5 minutes. Most drinks are free, with the only paid extras being any alcoholic drinks along with any food purchased (The cafe has a selection of cakes available)

Any complaints would be minor, there is a smaller room at the back of the cafe where the bathroom is located, that has a low ceiling, but they have signs to warn you of this.

The only issue I could really say I have with the Cafe, is that the time spent there always goes too quickly!
