Cat Café Cat B&C operates as a combined pet shop and cat café in Nagoya's Nakagawa Ward, distinguishing itself through competitive pricing and accessibility for first-time cat café visitors. The facility houses approximately twenty friendly, human-socialized cats that remain available for hands-on interaction throughout the day. Unlike pure rescue operations, Cat B&C functions as a breeding establishment that raises kittens with careful attention to parent cat health and early socialization. The café component serves as an introduction space where potential adopters can spend quality time with young cats before making purchase decisions, while casual visitors can enjoy affordable companionship without financial commitment.
The pricing structure reflects Cat B&C's philosophy of removing barriers to cat interaction: just ¥500 per thirty minutes on weekdays and ¥700 on weekends, significantly lower than comparable Nagoya venues. Beverages are available at a minimal ¥100, and the venue explicitly offers free-time options allowing visitors to remain as long as desired. Many visitors report extended stays, with multiple reviewers mentioning sessions lasting two and a half hours or longer due to the affordability and availability of free-time packages. Lockers provide secure storage for belongings, enabling visitors to move freely among the cats without managing bags. The facility operates year-round from 10:00 to 18:00, located approximately six minutes by car from Sannō Station, with seven dedicated parking spaces.
Visitor accounts emphasize the genuine friendliness of the cats—particularly young kittens actively seeking attention, climbing onto laps, and engaging in play. Many reviews note kittens performing "pawing" behavior on visitors' legs when unable to access lap space, while others describe cats initiating nose-kisses and offering paw-pads for touching. The shop maintains clean spaces with strategic toilet placement designed to minimize odor perception. Several reviewers mention this facility favorably compared to other pet shop–affiliated cat cafes for its balance of affordability, cat welfare awareness, and entertainment value, though some note that the density of animals and activity level on weekends can create a livelier atmosphere than quieter venues.
