*Reasonably priced with cats that are well taken care of* Have you seen three cats sleeping on top of each other in a cat bed meant for one cat? This might be a normal sight at this cafe. For a reasonable price, you can enter and enjoy a 90-minute session with many different cats. The cafe is divided into two areas, essentially separating groups of visitors as well as cats. Everything was thought out for your dining comfort, from the cutlery to the tumblers they serve the drinks in. The cats themselves look well taken care of and loved by the staff. They are also very friendly: we saw them interact a lot with their fellow cats, and also cuddle up to humans every now and then, especially if you give them treats. Overall a great place to find shelter if you find yourself trapped in the rain (as we did). It also doesn't hurt that it's walking distance to some shopping streets and train stations.

One of my favourite cat cafes in Osaka! All of them are rescued and you can see they are treated well. I got a matcha drink and that allowed me to stay for 90 mins. Cats are friendly and love to play or just stay next to you, still be respectful of their space, they are all different! Will go again for sure

I have been to a few cat cafés in Japan, and I have to say this is my favorite one. The cats are very friendly, playful and well taken care of. Their fur is shiny and extremely soft. As for the interior, it is very cozy and compared to other places I've been to, has no unpleasant smell at all. The owner is very polite and explains everything. There are toys and a profile book for each kitty. I have been twice already, and will definitely keep coming back to this place.

The cats are very friendly, and seem happy and well cared for. The organisation does really great work rescuing cats, and putting them up for adoption. And the butter chicken curry is tasty and very cute! Reasonably priced, they don't take card so remember to bring cash

The stay here was cat zen experience. All cats were so calm, in a good mood and resting. There was no smell at all, the place is clean, strict hygiene rules are in place. The gentleman was patient and friendly. I ordered a hot tea a cat-paw cakes - all delicious. Kitties got their treats. Even thou the place is small, all cats are nice, clean and healthy. Recommended to visit

Amazing cat cafe, full of cats. One room is full of cats who want to play, one room is full of older cats who prefer to relax. There are instructions in English, and the manager understands English well. All the cats are rescues, which is nice to see. Most of the meals come with a tray of cat treats, and you can buy more for 100 yen, or a churu for 500 yen. The churu really gets the cats excited as you would expect, so I recommend getting one of those.

Absolutely amazing and ethical cat cafe! The group that runs Save Cat Cafe also runs trap-neuter-return projects, and all of their cats here are up for adoption. They are the sweetest cats ever! There are two rooms, one big and one small - I took the small room and 7 extremely sweet and adorable cats were there. People should know more about this cat cafe and promote their advocacies! You need to make a reservation on LINE before coming (super important)
