You would be forgiven if Japan was the first place that came to mind when you were talking about cat cafés but if you are a cat lover who has found a vacation rental in Milan then rejoice, as the city is home to its very own kitty coffee shop; the Crazy Cat Café. Full of feline friends, delicious treats and feline-friendly menu options, this highly Instagrammable cafe has become a firm favourite amongst those in the know and really is a must-see if you love cats.
Located very centrally, on via Napo Torriani, the café was opened in the October of 2015 and is home to a clowder (yes, that is the collective term for cats, though “clutter”, “glaring” and, “pounce” are all also used) of rescue cats that have been adopted and taken care of by the owners. The first and only such establishment in Lombardy, it has taken a Japanese idea and adapted it to the tastes and pace of Italians.

While the cats are the star of the show and the main attraction for most customers, the café is actually also highly regarded for its menu of delicious and varied foods and beverages. Come for a coffee as you explore the city, lunch during the week, brunch at the weekends, or an aperitivo in the evenings! There is a rather diverse list of hot and cold coffees and teas to try out, a range of cakes to choose from all day, a well-curated wine list, a highly popular menu of brunch items and more.
Of course, the cats are why you're there in the first place, no matter how good the menu and each is named after a famous rockstar and profiled with their own traits and personalities on their website, so you can know who you can expect to meet ahead of time. Be aware that only certain numbers of people are admitted at one time for the sake of the cats and that you will be expected to be on your best behaviour with these rescued cuties.
So, if you're looking for something a little different to do on your next trip to Milan, Italy, check this place out!
