26 Clinton St, Lower East Side
(646) 370-5699
Hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 9 am to 9 pm
Admission: $25 for 1 hour; reservations recommended

Koneko, which means kitten in Japanese, takes its inspiration from the cat cafés in Japan, with an artisanal Japanese-influenced menu.

The café’s mission is to find loving homes for its cats, which are pulled from the at-risk list—a list of cats in NYC that are scheduled to be euthanized—by its partner Anjellicle Cats Rescue.

Cat lovers can reserve 1-hour slots to hang out in the Cattery (children between the ages of 8 and 14 must be accompanied by an adult), and Thursdays offer Kid Hours, where children under 8 can visit with an adult.

In addition to regular hours for children older than 9 and adults, the café offers special times for children 9 and younger and Yoga & Kitties for children 9 and older and adults. Children younger than 17 must be accompanied by an adult, and all visitors must sign a waiver.

Brooklyn Cat Cafe

76 Montague St, Brooklyn Heights
(347) 946-2286
Hours: Friday through Monday, 12 to 7 pm

Cats at Catpurrccinos are available to adopt through Feral to Family. Visitors under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult 18 years or older at all times. While walk-ins are accepted, reservations are highly recommended.
