ABOUT US
Meow Cat Café was born from a spontaneous trip to Poland in 2023. While exploring, Becky discovered cat cafés where all the residents were rescue cats. The concept struck a chord, a safe space for people to relax while giving cats the chance to be loved, seen, and rehomed. It was more than just a café; it was a lifeline for animals who needed a second chance. That idea came home with her, and Meow Cat Café was created.
The first café opened in Halstead, Essex, and quickly became a hub for cat lovers and adopters alike. Thanks to the wonderful support of the local community, a second site was opened in July 2024, also in Halstead. Both cafés flourished, rehoming many cats and building a reputation for warmth, kindness, and great coffee.
But as the dream grew, so did the desire to refine it. Becky made the decision to condense her efforts into one flagship space: Colchester. By focusing everything on a single café, the team could pour all their energy into giving visitors the best possible experience while ensuring the cats always come first.
Since opening, the café has rehomed many cats who might otherwise have been overlooked. Every adoption is a celebration, not just for us but for the whole community that supports the café. Each cat has their own story, and our role is to make sure the next chapter is a brighter one.
Today, Meow Cat Café in Colchester is more than a place to grab a drink. It’s a haven for cats waiting for their forever homes and a community hub for people who believe in second chances. Every visit supports rescue work, every coffee keeps tails wagging (or rather, purring), and every adoption is a story of hope.
