First things first the lady at the shop was really lovely and chatty. She really knew the cats and was obviously a cat lover. However the cafe itself absolutely stunk of urine, the tables were really dirty and the cafe in general was really scruffy. Things like the floor, scratching posts etc looked way past their best. Some of the cats looked slightly matted aswell they needed a good groom.

Me and my partner had a wonderful time the staff were amazing attentive and overall lovely to chat and open for our questions and catered to everything the cats were amazing and curious after all our treats the food was amazing and the drinks were lovely and the selection of both food and drink is perfect over all such a beautiful and bubbly place we both heavily recommend pricing is also so fair considering the entry purely goes towards the cats needs

A lovely cat cafe with some adorable friendly cats. There's plenty of cat toys to entertain the cats and they serve a good choice of drinks. The staff were very friendly and informative I did have fabulous time,it's must for all cat lovers

Lovely little cat cafe in Durham. The cats are so friendly and well looked after. They rule the roost and are put first which is wonderful. The entry fee is very reasonable. The coffee and cake was delicious and not a second thought at all. The souvenirs are a nice added touch. Would recommend.

I had the most pawsome time at The Pawsome Cat Café in Durham. If you’re a cat lover or just someone who enjoys a cosy, relaxing atmosphere, this place is an absolute must-visit. From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed, not just by the friendly staff but by the real stars of the show: Alvin, Poncho, Simon, Moe, Walnut, Evie and Bagel. Each cat has their own unique personality, and spending time with them was honestly the highlight of my week. Alvin was full of charm and curiosity, always ready to investigate anyone with a snack. Poncho is a total sweetheart and loved lounging nearby like a little furry guardian. Simon had such a calm, wise vibe, the kind of cat you’d expect to offer life advice if he could talk. Moe kept me entertained with his playful energy and goofy antics. Walnut was the snuggler of the group, and if you’re lucky enough to get cuddles from him, consider your day made. Evie was elegant and a bit sassy, and Bagel? Total icon. That little loaf of fluff stole my heart. The café itself is lovely, clean, calming and thoughtfully laid out to give the cats plenty of space while still being inviting for guests. The drinks were great I highly recommend the iced latte and everything just felt so well cared for, from the cats to the overall vibe. This place is clearly run with a lot of love and attention and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you to The Pawsome Cat Café for such a special experience, and please give all the cats some extra chin scritches from me.
