Recent statements from the RSPCA and Cats Protection have called for the phasing out of cat cafes in the UK, highlighting the stress these environments can cause to cats. The charities argue that it is challenging to provide adequate welfare for cats in cafes due to limited opportunities for hiding and no access to outdoor spaces. They express concern that while these cafes may please customers, they ultimately compromise the quality of life for the cats, necessitating a reconsideration of their operation.
“We adore cats and so we understand the appeal of cat cafes, but for the cats living 24/7 in these cafes, it’s likely to be a very different story.”
“The RSPCA has said cat cafes should not be operating in the UK over concerns the felines are stressed by their environment.”},{
