We understand that the term "cat cafe" can seem deceiving. Unfortunately, the answer is no, we are not a "BYOC(at)" establishment. We are a space that cares for adoptable cats and we cannot allow cats from home to be brought into our space.
Serving our Houston neighbors both human and feline.
We can reschedule individual cat visit sessions and cat yoga classes. Please provide at least 4 hours advance notice for rescheduling. Private sessions can also be rescheduled, but must be rescheduled 48 hours in advance to avoid charges. Alameda Night Market is a total fun night out with the girls that combines delicious food, unique shopping, and lively entertainment. Located in the heart of Downtown LA’s Art District, this vibrant open-air market offers a blend of traditional street food, craft beer, live music, and innovative artisanal goods.

We'll be kicking off at the new location on Tuesday, March 12 just in time for our expanding Spring Break Hours. First, we visited with a friend from Germany, yet another convert into our crazy-for-cats lifestyle. Second, it was my birthday, which always helps infuse every activity with a festive air.
Original Cat Cottage Location
Beset with the myriad challenges posed by the pandemic, El Gato emerged with the intention of making the necessary funds to house 14 – 20 foster cats. Thus, El Gato Charities was formed to work in tandem with El Gato Coffeehouse, Houston’s only cat cafe and rescue. For individual visits with cats, children must be over age 5 and 12 is the minimum age for yoga with cats. All childern under 16 must be accompanied by a supervising adult. If you are interested in being one of the first to check out the new location, you'll select sessions in the Cat Studio. We'll continue to offer sessions in our original Cat Cottage location as well.

When booking, select the button for your desired location. Private group reservations are $110 and covers 6 people. Additional guests (over 6) can join a private session for a cost of $18/person.
Nestled in the heart of The Heights is El Gato Coffeehouse a feline fave and Houston’s only cat cafe and rescue. We provide a comfortable environment for adoptable cats until they find their furrever home. If guests aren't looking to adopt, they can enjoy cat therapy, which also helps socialize the cats.
We depend on our guest's cover to support the cost of our beautiful facilities in the Heights, our wonderful caring staff and for the vetting costs and supplies provided to our resident cats. We are only able to provide this service because our customers and donors see the value in our mission of adopting cats in a comfortable, stress-free environment. After making some short term adjustments, like reducing opening hours, things have bounced back stronger than ever. She and her team have successfully facilitated an amazing 114 adoptions in just one years time, via their nationally known rescue partner, Friends for Life.

El Gato Coffeehouse is located in the historic Houston Heights neighborhood. Later, I learned the food truck is less about the hip food movement and more to address the city regulations that require food and drink be completely separate from the kitties. Visits with the Cats in our Cat Cottage will remain at our $18/ person pricing. An East LA hidden gem, the Ave 26 Night Market is focused on food, family, and fun. This intimate and cozy market offers a unique blend of traditional Mexican street food, handmade crafts, and vibrant live performances. Renee is not just a kind-hearted cat lover, but a smart business owner, dedicated not only to rescuing kitties, but providing patrons a quality experience.
El Gato Charities works in tandem with El Gato Coffeehouse to foster and find homes for Houston area rescue cats.
626 Market offers a wide range of Asian cuisine and unique items you won’t find anywhere else. From matcha drinks and boba tea to takoyaki and Korean fried chicken, we are drooling just thinking about their long-awaited return. Are you looking for an exciting and unique way to explore the vibrant food scene of Los Angeles? From deliciously savory eats to sweet indulgences, we’ve got you covered with the best night markets in LA. Our peaceful environment along with the 7 day trial adoption (i.e. sleepover) that we offer nearly eliminates instances of cats being returned after adoptions are finalized.
I was excited to hear she is experimenting with lots of activities, trying a variety of events like cat yoga, movie night and book club to keep customers returning for fun beyond cats alone. The opportunity to expand presented itself only 2.5 weeks ago. By the end of May, we'll have created a charming and mystical environment for our cats and guests, including the installation of a 7ft tree. The main benefit of adopting from us is having the ability to meet several cats and kittens in a peaceful, living-room-like setting. As such, we only process applications for our customers that have visited with us and have selected a cat or kitten. You can apply to adopt in advance of your visit if you have a scheduled session with us.
This helps to relieve the burden placed on traditional shelters in Houston that are frequently at capacity. Since El Gato Coffeehouse opened in April 2017, we have found homes for nearly 430 previously-homeless cats. Since the formation of El Gato Charities in 2020, we have already TNRed 18 cats and successfully socialized and found furrever homes for 4 of the 18. For a taste of Latin American cuisine and culture, head to El Gato Night Market in Lynwood.

Visits with cats - Individual sessions are for one person, each person needs a separate individual booking. Private sessions are a group booking covering up to 6 people for 1 hour. Additional guests are welcome for the privates, but will be charged $18/ person upon entry with a max capacity of 20 people. We do host kid birthday parties as a private booking, however, this is only available for ages 9 and over in order to maintain a peaceful enviroment for our cats.
“In our cat cottage, our feline friends are given free roam and are well-socialized. This means that their personalities can really shine through when potential adopters visit,” El Gato writes on its website. If you're interested in adopting, you can complete an application here and we strongly encourage you to book a visit to choose your most compatible cat. Email us at for more information on visiting and at for more information on adoptions. We are excited to announce that we are expanding just in time for Spring Break. We entered a lease for the studio space located in front of our existing cat cottage on the same lot at 508 Pecore St in the Heights.
Large populations of free-roaming cats can be problematic for a number of reasons including cat health, human public health, and ecological/environmental protection. Risa Rose, an avid yogi and UCLA graduate, loves to immerse herself in all things spiritual. If she isn't spending time in nature with her boyfriend and their dog, she's providing tarot & horary astrology sessions. Between conversation and fawning over felines, the hour went by very quickly. El Gato's cats (between 14 and 19 in residence) are a delightful combination of shy, social and playful. In addition to Sweetie, some of my favorites included Inky, a large black floofer, Jean Baptise, a tuxedo and Addison the calico.
