Brisbane Is Getting a Second Cat Cafe

Just a few short months ago, Brisbane-based feline fanciers keen to cuddle a kitty over a cup of coffee had nowhere to go. The opening of the city's first ever cat cafe in Red Hill changed that — for the better, obviously, as their popularity has proved. And shortly, mouser fans will have another place to call their home away from home.

Meet the Lucky Cat Cafe, aka the spot that will soon become Brisbane's second cat-focused establishment. It calls itself both a coffee shop and a petting zoo, lest you have any doubts about exactly what will be on offer.

Further details, such as an opening date and an exact CBD address, are still being finalised, though you can expect to meet the new cafe's fortunate, furry, four-legged creatures this year. You can expect to visit them from 10am to 9pm, seven days a week, too, which means after-work kitty time will be a reality.

Because cat cafes are about giving cute critters a home as much as they're about giving people access to adorable animals, all the residents will be rescued toms and tabbies, and some will be up for adoption. You just know you're going to want to take one with you, don't you?
