About Annie's Attic
Annie's Attic represents Winnipeg's first cat café and thrift shop combination, a non-profit venture dedicated to supporting D'Arcy's Animal Rescue Centre. Located in the North End at 1560 Main Street, this hybrid space merges rescue mission with community gathering, inviting visitors to "sip, shop, and adopt" while browsing unique second-hand treasures and spending time with adoptable rescue cats. The concept is refreshingly accessible: a $5 minimum donation entry fee provides access to the cat lounge, while the adjoining thrift shop offers everything from clothing and footwear to books, electronics, furniture, décor, and pet supplies—all at affordable prices with proceeds supporting animal welfare. The space explicitly centers inclusion and belonging, operating as "a safe space for all genders, races, creeds, ages, abilities, and sizes" on Treaty 1 Territory.
Visitors consistently praise the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the genuine sense of purpose woven throughout the experience. Reviewers describe the space as "wonderful" with a "kind and meaningful mission," highlighting how "every purchase helps support animals in need." The café offers baked goods from local partners Goodies Bake Shop and Gunn's Bakery, creating a cozy refreshment experience alongside cat interaction. One visitor noted: "I managed to find some things for my kids, have a delicious drink at the cafe, and spend time with two absolutely fabulous little cats." Another family shared: "We got the butter chicken with an iced coffee and a pink drink, very yummy...everyone was super welcoming and kind." The cats themselves are described as "playful and lovely," and the experience leaves visitors genuinely excited to return.
Operating Tuesday–Saturday 11am–6pm (closed Sunday–Monday), Annie's Attic welcomes walk-ins with no reservations required, though time restrictions may occasionally apply. Entry is a $5 minimum donation per person, with beverages and baked goods available for additional purchase. All adoptable cats are sourced through D'Arcy's Animal Rescue Centre. The thrift shop offers rotating inventory of second-hand finds, with proceeds directly supporting rescue operations. This is a space where community, rescue, and sustainability converge.
