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 here for my partners birthday. She LOVES cats and was so excited. I have to say the cafe was a breath of fresh air. The staff were so friendly... read more and welcoming. The cafe had such a warm and friendly atmosphere (I could of relaxed there all day), the price was amazing and I would of happily paid more. The beautiful cats were so friendly and a pleasure to be around. I will definitely be visiting here again, especially for movie night.

					  My self, partner and our 17 month old daughter visited this afternoon and we were not disappointed. 

I am obsessed with cats and our daughter seems to be too... read more and as we have a dog we thought this would be a good opportunity to get close and introduce our daughter to them. Her first word when we walked in was WOW! We were greeted by a very excited Bengal who was strutting around and pouncing on things which my daughter found hilarious. We had a drink and made our way around the cats, stroking and saying hello to them all. 

The cats are extremely well looked after, they have some of the best cat trees and beds I have ever seen and also have a place to escape the hustle and bustle if they want to which I thought was nice. 

They have plenty of room to roam around and were 100% comfortable and at ease in their home. 

Some were doing the usual cat thing of sleeping and some were just being bonkers and running around. 

The owners 12 month old son was there and he and my daughter hit it off straight away and were having a baby chat which was fantastic. 

The owners were very welcoming and friendly.

I would recommend this to anyone who loves cats or animals in general but if your not a cat lover doing something like this might just change your mind!

We stayed for an hour which flew by so I do reccomend you book at least an hour. We will definitely be visiting again. Thanks so much.

					  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.
