Mad Catter Cafe
About
Mad Catter Cafe in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, offers a special experience combining a love of coffee and cats since 2018. This unique cat cafe partners with the City of St. John's Humane Services Division, providing a safe, loving temporary home for their adorable, adoptable cats. Their mission is dedicated to helping these felines find their forever families, with all adoptions overseen by the Humane Services Division. A 50-minute cat lounge visit costs $10 plus tax per person, offering a chance for cat interaction. Reservations are encouraged to secure your spot, though walk-ins are welcome if space permits. This inviting space is suitable for people of all ages to familiarize themselves with cats, especially children, as noted by visitors. The cafe emphasizes ethical cat welfare, ensuring a calm environment for all resident cats, with non-human visitors not permitted in the lounge.
Visitors consistently praise the very clean space and adorable cats at Mad Catter Cafe. Customers highlight the "cutest place in St. John's," noting the "lovely and admirable concept" of adopting a kitty. Reviews mention "various cats with unique traits" and "different personalities" who are friendly and get used to human interaction. While enjoying extra cuddles, you can grab a coffee or snack, like the amazing London fog hot chocolate, from their take-out bar. The cafe is currently closed for the 2025 season and will reopen in Spring 2026. When open, reservations are encouraged to ensure your spot, and a waiver must be signed. Although the mission is to find forever homes for every rescue cat, sometimes this means fewer felines are available, leading to occasional disappointment regarding the number of cats present, as one visitor experienced. This commitment to adoptions is central to their purpose, and supporting local means supporting these rescue cats. You can even sign up to volunteer and play with the cats. We invite you to experience this sweet place dedicated to feline welfare.
