Throughout the world, there are quite a number of cat cafés. The only one of its kind in all of Russia is located in St-Petersburg. It is called the “Republic of Cats" (Russian: Республика Кошек.) Here, you can enjoy great food and meet with many fluffy little friends. Besides St. Petersburg, there are different cat cafes all around the world, with the most popular countries being: Sweden, Japan, and Austria. But the number of cats together with the cultural and educational aspects of the St. Petersburg café makes this place stand out from the rest.

Guests are encouraged to drink KOTuchino (CATuccino) and try the delicious food such as "tiraMEOW".
