Whiskers & Cream Cat Cafe London

Whiskers & Cream is London's upmarket luxury cat cafe in Upper Holloway, North London, emphasizing elegant hospitality and feline welfare through its mission "Care & Consideration Leads To Contentment." Home to 10 beautifully distinct resident cats including Teddy (tuxedo, loves chase play), Sage and Basil (fluffy twin brothers), Jasper (sleepy Maine Coon, polite table guest), Ollie (rescued from cardboard box, now sleeps contentedly), Jack (mischievous Maine Coon), Vanilla (oldest cat, gentle), and Archibold (sweet, enjoys tail scratches). The cafe prioritizes sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients and values animal welfare—all bakes served are free from meat, dairy, and eggs where possible; cow's milk available only for hot drinks. Staff cat care coordinator introduces guests to cats, tells their stories, and sometimes facilitates grooming participation. All bookings are 90 minutes (extendable in 30-minute slots). Operating since 2018, licensed under Animal Welfare (Licensing) Regulations 002/2026-2029.
