Our mission is to provide a safe, fun and relaxing environment where cats and people can enjoy each other's company, and to help cats find their forever homes. Located in Christchurch, Catnap Café opened in July 2018 and is the South Island's first and only cat cafe. Our mission is to provide a safe, fun and relaxing environment where cats and people can enjoy each other’s company and to find fore
ver homes for rescue cats. We work alongside Cat Rescue Christchurch to increase the number of stray and abandoned cats being re-homed, to educate the community about the importance of desexing, and promote adoption. The café provides both a permanent home for four resident rescue cats, and a foster home for rescue cats and kittens that are available for the public to adopt. The café is divided into two areas, a food area and a cat area. The food area is much like a normal cafe in which you can order food and drinks (these can also be taken through into the cat area). The cat area is a place for people and cats to hang out together in a fun and cosy environment. You can choose to spend your time in either or both areas! As well as providing an adoption service, the cafe is a great place for cat lovers to simply spend time with cats, especially those who aren’t able to have cats of their own such as elderly people in rest homes, students, travellers and renters. Group bookings and other private events are welcome and we also run evening events such as yoga, movie nights, drawing classes, quizzes and board game nights.
