Blogger Hayley Warren is on a mission to visit every cat café in the UK, and she writes about her feline adventures on her travel, food & lifestyle blog Strangeness & Charm.
One of the most remarkable cat cafés she has ever visited is the Shakespaw Cat Café in Stratford-upon-Avon. "It has to be in my top 5 cat cafés," Hayley says.
Let's take a look inside.
One of the most remarkable cat cafés she has ever visited is the Shakespaw Cat Café in Stratford-upon-Avon. "It has to be in my top 5 cat cafés," Hayley says.
Let's take a look inside.
The decor is quirky and cozy and makes you feel like you're in someone's living room. "I felt so relaxed there, and I loved just sitting at my table and watching the cats," Hayley says. "I had a great chat about the cats with one member of staff, Sam. You could tell that she really loves each and every one. The same can be said for the rest of the staff who were there on that day."
Shakespaw houses seven cats from different breeds.
First, there's Viola, a tabby with a very active personality. She's always wandering around and jumping on tables.
The three white cats are called Romeo, Juliet and Tybalt. Can you tell them apart?
"Hermione is the Ragdoll," Hayley says. "While I was there, she spent most of the time asleep in a suitcase, but she did get up for a play before I left."
Puck is the black and white male. He's also the youngest of this clowder of cats.
And then there's Bottom, a grumpy Persian who rarely grooms himself (that's a human's job).

To enter the cat café, you have to pay a £5 entry fee, which goes directly towards the cats' food, toys, litter, and medical assistance. For that sum, you can enjoy 90 minutes of pure, unadulterated feline bliss. It's many cheaper than many of the other cat cafés in the UK (such as Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium).
On the menu, you'll find a decent selection of finger sandwiches and cake (with gluten-free and vegan options), hot drinks, soft drinks, and cocktails. However, you are not allowed to share this food with Shakespaw's feline residents.
You'll find Shakespaws Cat Café on 6 Union Street, which is right in the center of Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It's open every day, except Tuesdays, from 10 am to 6 pm.
It's possible to book your visit online, though the place is not always packed. "When I was there on a Thursday afternoon, the café was pretty quiet," Hayley says. "When I arrived there was just one other table occupied, and when they left, another couple came in, but only stayed for half an hour. So, I pretty much had the whole cat café to myself."
Just like in the Kuro Neko Cat Café in Kortrijk, children and dogs are not allowed inside because they can't guarantee the happiness and safety of the cats. However, Shakespaw does host workshops for children where they teach them about the correct way to handle cats.
"I really enjoyed my visit to Shakespaw Cat Café, and I will definitely be going back," Hayley says. "It was such a friendly atmosphere and all of the cats were lovely."

ReplyDeleteI've been to Stratford-Upon-Avon but I don't remember the cafe. (Of course, I was there 20 years ago.)
ReplyDeleteWe have never visited a cat cafe just yet.

That's wonderful! I love Stratford-on-Avon but haven't been there for a while. A cat cafe is a good excuse to make the effort!
