Neko Cat Cafe Bellingham

We had a blast! Oh my gosh, little does my sister know, but I am actually planning to return to adopt a kitty in the near future pending my finances in October, so hopefully he's still there! She told me no- but little does she realize I'm the one that controls the finances and the lease ; Loved the little snacks and can't wait to get some gear in the future! Totally will be back!

LOVE the concept, and we’ll go again for sure, HOWEVER…We arrived 10 min late, and there’s a weird… everyone has to get out at 45 min after the hour ‘rule’?Doesn’t matter when you get there or when you buy your drinks etc. There was us and another small group. They need to be more flexible, when they aren’t busy to let you have your full time. We weren’t even able to finish the drink and food we BOUGHT. Nope. Had to leave. Can I at least wait for my minor kids to finish in the bathroom??? Geesh…You pay per person to get in, buy the snacks, drinks, or merch (which is all adorable) but it’s not cheap, then they seem overly eager to get you out.Staff are SUPER nice, and getting these adorable kitties their furever homes is priority #1 of course, but there HAS to be a better way to treat your supporters.Outline the rules up front, so no one is surprised for starters. Post it on the door. But people should be allowed to finish what they buy… it’s just snacks and drinks, nothing that takes long to consume.Parking: Parking is free on Sundays and seemed plentiful. There are a few lots. Not sure if they’re free. A few homeless about a block away, but no visible drugs, no smell, and their ‘camps’ were as tidy as possible.Kid-friendliness: An AMAZING place to bring kiddos. Especially those that might be differently-abled. They can sit and the cats come right up to investigate. There are hanging chairs, padded rugs, benches, and spots to lay down and snuggle. 2 very clean restrooms with a clear glass door vestibule so parents can see any kids going in and out and ensure they’re safe.Kitty potties are in another room, and from the lack of smell, the kitties use their restrooms accordingly. Everything was super clean.

Delightful! Very clean, cute space. Menu expanded since my last visit, which was nice. Tastiest kombucha I have ever had. And of course, the *softest* and *sweetest* bunch of kitties! Definitely going to let people know about the happy kitty hour on Friday.

What a great experience! All the B’ham crew cats were delightful and clearly well cared for. I loved that they had so many places to escape to in case the human attention became too much. A relaxing way to spend 45 minutes surrounded by a plethora of cat personalities. Highly recommend!

Lots of cats in a cozy atmosphere. They have some areas that let you bond with a cat if you’re looking to adopt. It was a neat touch.
