Cat Cafes in New York

New York

Koneko Cat Café is located at 26 Clinton Street in New York City's Lower East Side, where visitors can spend time with adoptable rescue cats from Anjellicle Cats Rescue. Opened in October 2015 as America's first Japanese-inspired cat café, it features three areas: an upper cattery, a lower cattery, and an outdoor catio, with a total capacity of about 20 cats. Guests aged 8 and up can book hourly sessions for $25, which includes a covered beverage like coffee or tea from the café's menu of Japanese-inspired snacks and drinks. Outside food and drinks (non-alcoholic) are also allowed. Reservations are recommended due to a 15-person limit per session. A live webcam streams the cats online, and the space doubles as a venue for events like movie nights and art exhibitions.
