Cafe Meow

Cafe Meow is Blackpool's award-winning first cat cafe, specializing in rehoming rescue cats while creating a relaxing community hub. The cafe achieved New Business of the Year and has successfully rehomed over 100 cats in its first year. Working closely with local rescues Cats in Care and Tenderpaws, Cafe Meow fights cat homelessness by offering lost and confused cats a loving, safe haven where they eventually leave as "social sunshines" ready for their forever homes. The mission is clear: provide a best-of-both-worlds experience where cat lovers can relax and unwind while helping cats find adoption.

The majority of resident cats at Cafe Meow are available for adoption, creating an ever-changing family of adorable, friendly, playful felines. Reviewers consistently praised the incredibly comfortable, relaxed cats who purred contentedly and kneaded paw biscuits as they soaked up attention. Staff genuinely care about the cats' welfare and are knowledgeable and lovely. Visitors highlighted the open-plan seating areas, toys to play with, delicious hot drinks and coffee, and family-friendly atmosphere with kittens perfect for children. One reviewer's son experienced pure joy when a cat climbed into his lap for cuddles; another mentioned amazing pizza and top-class hot chocolate.
