Relax and unwind with nine friendly rescue cats, while enjoying a hot or cold drink and slice of cake. A purrfic outing with friends or family.

The concept of the cat cafe began in Taiwan, stemming from the human desire and need for companionship. Much of the housing in Taiwan is in apartment blocks, and in many of these pets are prohibited. Offering the chance for people to relax in a cafe setting while spending time with feline companions helped counter that. People thrive on interaction with others, while contact with animals in particular is understood to have therapeutic benefits.

Such was the popularity of these cafes that the idea has spread throughout the world, with the number of cat cafes in the U.K. increasing all the time. Cats Meow is Stirling’s very own cat cafe and is firmly rooted in the original ethos of caring for others.

Open to the general public and accessible to all, including full wheelchair access, the cafe also welcomes many groups from residential and care organisations, understanding how uplifting the company of cats can be. It offers those with social anxieties a relaxed setting, with less pressure than with human interaction alone.

The cafe is strongly connected to social enterprise groups and has volunteers from Cornton Vale, for example. Many who are vulnerable, both those who visit and who work here, are afforded respite with feline company. We welcome all guests and make everyone feel at home.

No cafe is complete without tasty morsels – our nine resident cats will entertain you while you enjoy a large slice of cake and choice of hot or cold drink. The delicious cakes are alone worthy of visits! A homely atmosphere encourages our guest to sit back, relax and enjoy this unique experience. Our cats love interacting with visitors and will always find the best lap to curl up on, just don’t take your eye off the cake!
