Overview
The Sydney pop-up that made everyone lose their collective shit in May is pouncing triumphantly back into the game — Sydney's teeny, tiny pop-up kitten cafe is locked in for another stint, this time in the CBD.
We'll say it again, just in case you closed your eyes for maximum squealidge. There's going to be a pop-up kitten cafe in the city, at Gaffa Gallery on Clarence Street. Next week.
Cuddling up to kitties has never been easier for renting Sydneysiders. Sydney's first cat cafe opened in Chatswood just months ago, and Surry Hills' own space-themed cat cafe Catmosphere, opened on Friday. The third player, Sydney Cat Cafe, opened a pop-up kitten cafe in May to raise funds for a permanent space.a Unsurprisingly, the pop-up booked out within a day.
So, teaming up with Maggie's Rescue and PURINA Australia, Sydney Cat Cafe is hosting another pop-up cafe from August 6-8 and 13-15 at Gaffa Gallery. Sydneysiders can book 45 minute cuddle sessions with fluffy little kittens handpicked by the Maggie's Rescue team, with the opportunity to pledge funds towards turning the Sydney Cat Cafe concept into a permanent fixture (or perhaps you're keen to adopt one of the little critters). It's $10 a snuggle sesh, max. 20 people at a time, and no little ones allowed — for safety and tail-pulling reasons, this pop-up is restricted to cat lovers above the age of 8.
Alright, alright, how do we pat the kitties? Enquire after availability over here — and spots are already filling up, so get on it. KITTIES.
The Sydney Cat Cafe and Maggie's Rescue pop-up kitten cafe is open at Gaffa Gallery, 281 Clarence Street, Sydney, running from August 6-8 and 13-15. Check the website for times.
