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!
The cats are the sweetest little things, service is polite and friendly. The two young staff who where there when we came were the most beautiful kind hearted people <3
