About Paws & Purs Cat Cafe
Nestled on Ninestones Farm in rural Cornwall, Paws & Purs Cat Cafe offers a unique blend of feline companionship and farm experiences overlooking Bodmin Moor. Officially opened in October 2023, the cafe emerged when the owner's personal cats decided they couldn't stay away from customers—who fell in love with them in return. What sets Paws & Purs apart is the cats' complete freedom: they roam both the cafe and the farm as they please, this being their home after all. Visitors can explore the broader farm after their cafe session, potentially spotting additional cats and meeting alpacas and pygmy goats. This creates a truly dynamic experience where every visit differs based on which cats decide to grace the cafe.
The resident cat family includes Squeak, Sirius, Maisie, Lucifer, Sinead, Leo, Ivy, Chaos, and Kit—all free to wander indoors and outdoors. Reviewers praised how well-cared-for and affectionate the cats are, with several noting that cats approached tables immediately seeking treats and attention. Lucifer and Sirius were particularly friendly table-hoppers, while kitten Chaos won hearts with his pink nose and playful nature. The cats are clearly happy and content, comfortable leaving the cafe whenever they choose. However, visitors should note that cat numbers in the cafe fluctuate—sometimes three or four are present, other times just one, as they have the farm to explore. The location offers beautiful countryside views and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
Entrance fees support cat care and maintenance; advance booking is essential due to limited seating and parking. Recommended for ages 4+. The cafe serves a tasty lunch menu with light bites plus a Cornish afternoon tea option (pre-book with dietary requirements noted). Winter food and drinks menus are available online. Cats are free to enjoy treats but watch your cream—they love clotted cream from afternoon teas! Sponsor a cat for £12.50 (includes certificate, photo, and one free entry). Located at Ninestones Farm, Gemstone, Liskeard PL14 6SD. Note: the farm road can be difficult to navigate during busy times, so plan for potential delays. This hidden countryside gem offers a magical afternoon combining cats, farm animals, and stunning moorland views.
