Zwolle, Overijssel

Kattencafé Skatjes is a cozy cat café designed to feel like a living room, where guests can relax, enjoy drinks, or have high tea while spending time with resident cats. The café maintains a calm and welcoming atmosphere for both visitors and animals, with special guidelines to ensure the cats’ comfort. Children are welcome starting from age 4, but parents are asked to supervise closely, since sudden movements and loud noises can stress the cats. Visitors should also understand that cats sleep up to 18 hours a day, so interactions depend on whether the cats are awake and willing. Reservations are required and can be made online in advance, with some restrictions on the number of children allowed during busy times to keep the environment peaceful.

On top of that, it functions as a day-activity center: staff and volunteers contribute to café operations, cat care, and guest service. Whether you’re there to chill with a cat, learn something digital, or simply enjoy a treat, Digibeet en Katten Café offers connection and calm in equal measure.
