Welcome to Cara Cat Cafe, a charming feline café nestled in the heart of Minoh, Osaka. If you're a cat lover or simply seeking a delightful escape, this quaint café is the perfect sanctuary, blending the joys of coffee and companionship with playful kittens.

At Cara Cat Cafe, you’ll find a unique atmosphere that encourages furry friends to frolic and engage with visitors. The assortment of cats varies with each visit, thanks to the café’s commitment to rescue and adoption, meaning you can expect to interact with adorable kittens and friendly adult cats, particularly the owner's own cuddly companions. Customers like Karissa Barlow have praised the inviting ambiance, where cats are free to explore and play, making for an enjoyable experience.

As for refreshments, the café offers a range of beverages, including the ever-popular ginger ale spoken of by satisfied patrons, as well as locally crafted Minoh beer for those looking to sip and unwind. Imagine enjoying a cool iced coffee or a light cider while surrounded by the soft purrs and lively antics of playful kittens—how delightful! It's an experience that Remvyk Aurea captures perfectly, describing the café as a superb place to relax after a hike to Minoh Falls.

Your visit to Cara Cat Cafe might come with some unpredictability; as articulated by ne ko, depending on the time of your visit, you might encounter a lovely group of kittens or perhaps have a quieter day with fewer cats around. This cycle of fostering and adoption is close to the café's heart, and while that may mean variability in your feline encounters, it also speaks volumes about the love and care that permeates this space.

Don't fret about the potential wait times either—this is a testament to the café's commitment to ensuring a comfortable experience for both visitors and cats alike, as noted by ぱんぷきん. With its clean and cozy atmosphere and clearly happy rescue cats, the café promises a pleasant environment for all who enter. The owner's kindness shines through as she engages with guests, particularly welcoming to those traveling from abroad, ensuring everyone feels at home.

So, why not carve out a little time in your schedule for a paw-sitively delightful experience at Cara Cat Cafe? Mingle with adorable kittens, sip on refreshing beverages, and bask in the joy that these lovely creatures bring. This café isn't just about the coffee—it's about creating lasting memories in the company of furry friends.

These cats are quite cute. And the owner is very nice and tries her best to please foreigners due to our language barriers.

常駐猫(オーナーの飼い猫と体が弱いとか年そこそこの猫)以外は、仔猫保護→割とすぐ保護主が見つかる、のサイクルのようだ。そのため、タイミングによっては全然猫に会えない可能性もあると思われる。 開店してる曜日自体が少な目の店で、常駐の猫の数も多くなく、運良く行く時はいつも1~2ヶ月の可愛らしい仔猫と会えた。 なので4でいいし、個人的に飼ってる猫の相談にも乗って貰ったし印象の良い店だから別に5つけても良いのだが、やはり運が悪い人だと殆ど猫と会えないケースもあると思われるので、幅広い範疇で考慮したら3かもしれないが、やはり4にしておこう。 猫カフェでは珍しく、アルコール(箕面特産の箕面ビール)を取り扱ってるため、飲むなら、ただでさえ足元注意な仔猫を踏まないか、よく注意して欲しい。自分は酒も好きだが、無理に猫カフェに酒は置かなくても良い気もするが、箕面だからビールは仕方ないか。

Friendly owner, tasty drinks, and playful cats. The atmosphere is nice and seems to encourage the cats to play. I always get the ginger ale, which is very good. The owner is happy to chat (in Japanese).

Great place to relax after hiking to Minoh Falls. The owner is a very kind person who takes care of cats without families/owners and offers adoption for them. The kittens in particular were very playful the day I went. The ice coffee is great especially while in the company of cute cats, though I wish I tried a cider while I was there. Well worth the price for an hour of relaxation!

人がパンパンにならないように人数制限がされるので、場合によっては待ち時間が発生します。 これも猫のことを考えてのことでしょうからOKです。 清潔感もあり、猫ものびのびとしていて、居心地は良いです。 保護猫たちは幸せそう。

Very nice cafe on your way to Mino-o park of to the ramen museum. The owner was very friendly and the cats were gently and playful. The cafe is also a place that helps stray cats find a new home.. And try thier donuts!
