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!

					  Amazing cafe! I’ve been twice with my little boy and we adore it. My sister lives in Shrewsbury (we live in Ireland) and try to visit Paws cafe whenever possible... read more when visiting. Our most recent visit was for an Easter craft event and it was fantastic. All staff are so lovely and helpful. Place is absolutely spotless! The cats are very well looked after and loved. Anyone who genuinely loves cats can see this. The cats have their own place to go if they ever feel overwhelmed by people in the cafe. Highly recommend Paws Cafe.

					  Lovely staff. 

Very cosy inside - sofas for humans and plenty of beds, cat trees, and cat toys for the cats.

Delicious cakes. 

Lovely coffee - even have... read more different milk options which is great. 

Lovely cats. My personal favourite cat is Darwin the Maine Coone who is very majestic and fluffy. Obviously you aren’t going to get friendly with all the cats the very first time you go but I’ve been a few times now and they get more friendly with me the more I go. 

Also, they say to book… so book. Very unfair to leave a bad review because you didn’t bother booking resulting in you not being allowed in even though they are very clear about that.

If you like cats, cake, and coffee, or even just cats, I definitely recommend this place.
