Relax and interact with 8 resident cats in a garden-themed café overlooking Newcastle Quayside, serving food and drinks in a calm, welcoming environment.

CatPawCino is a unique cat café located on Newcastle Quayside with views of the River Tyne. This garden-themed venue creates a relaxing indoor outdoor experience where visitors can enjoy food and beverages whilst socializing with friendly resident cats. The café is home to 8 permanent cats—Alfie, Chocolate, Ebby, Flora, Hugo, Iva, Jasper, and Kyla—all personally raised by the owner from kittens, ensuring they are well-adjusted and comfortable with visitors. The light, airy ground floor space provides an ideal setting for both cats and guests to relax. Each cat has its own personality, from the calm and affectionate Alfie to the playful and energetic Ebby, offering varied interactions for different visitor preferences. CatPawCino also supports cat rescue by donating a percentage of monthly profits to Feline Friends cat rescue charity and occasionally fostering rescue cats. The venue is suitable for families, couples, and individuals seeking a peaceful break with animal companionship. The café requires booking in advance and is pushchair friendly. Visitors can expect a welcoming experience guided by trained cat keepers who ensure both visitor and feline welfare. This makes CatPawCino an ideal destination for those wanting to enjoy quality time with cats without the commitment of cat ownership.

Probably one of the nicest cat cafe we ever been to! Lovely menu, very cute and playful cats and relaxing atmosphere, the staff was genuine and super friendly! Prices are very affordable and the menu yummy yummy. A must do if you love cats and friendly people, we'll definitely come again when we're in Newcastle!

I had the most wonderful time here! The cats are all gorgeous and adorable. I wish I could have taken Dobby and Simba home with me! The staff are lovely and the vegan toastie I had was really nice. I'll definitely be back if I'm in Newcastle again 🐈🐾

Wonderful place, had some spare time in Newcastle and saw it recommended. Jess was very welcoming and friendly, and the cats were all adorable. Also had Almond milk, and I'm lactose intolerant, so I could have tea :)
