A cat café with a purrpose.

  While cat cafés are trendy, and adorable, there's sometimes a question of the ethics behind them. Well, not at Phibsboro Cat Rescue; this cat rescue doubles as a vegan café and allows a safe space for you to get to know their cats that are up for adoption. This is a no kill cat rescue, and it opened on Valentine's Day in 2021. According to their website this was a deliberate choice, saying:

"We chose the Day of Love to show our deep, passionate, unconditional love for felines everywhere."

It's only open over the weekends, but if you're a cat lover, and more importantly, if you're looking to adopt, why not stop by and soak up all the cuteness? The Cat Rescue café has some lovely baked goods; you'd hardly know they were vegan at all! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbw_CcisIvJ/ You can make a booking at the Cat Rescue HERE. If you're unable to adopt but wish to make a donation, you can do so HERE. Phibsboro Cat Rescue is based on Brunswick Street North and opens Friday through to Sunday.
