FAQ

• What is a catcafé?

  It is a small cosy and quiet café where you, as our guest can come and relax between our lovely and playfull 9 cats. You can have breakfast, lunch and homemade pastries. Who doesn't like to cuddle and play with cats?

• Can I bring my own cat?

  No, that is not possible. The cats have been carefully selected and live in harmony all together in the café. We don't want to disturb that

• What about hygiene in the Café?

  The Spinnery is cleaned every day. Our kitchen is sealed off for cats. The cats litters will be in the cats-only room, as well as their food.

• Do I have to pay entrance?

  Yes you do. Starting from january 1st 2026 we will charge you with a cat contribution when you visit us. For 5 years we didn't have to do this, but the costs are getting higher and higher to maintain the café. The costs are € 3,50 per person, children untill 4 years old for free ( no charge). We will charge you this entrance fee when you pay your bill at the desk in the café. When you just come in to buy something from our shop, you don't need to pay this fee.

  Your fee will be spend on special diet food for 3 cats, our energy bill ( in colder months we have to keep the heating on for the cats 24/7, medical costs and health checks at the vet etc. With this fee we can provide our 9 cats with the best care.

• Where do the cats come from?

  8 cats are adopted from Greece, an animal shelter in Crete called P&M Cats Care Crete. They have carefully selected our 8 lovely cats for us. 4 of our cats are brothers and sisters and they already lived as a group in the shelter so they all know each other. Mees is relatively new, he is been living at De Spinnerij since 2025. We adopted him from a lady who could not care for him anymore.

• Do I have to make a reservation?

  If you want to be sure of a table, please make a reservation on our website using the link. A reservation is always for 90 minutes. High tea's need to be paid beforehand. If you have special requests (e.g birthday or big groups) please contact us by mail or whatsapp.

• What are the house rules?

  Because a catcafé is not a regular café, we have house rules. In our café we have 9 living animals, please treat them with respect. In this way, your visit will be pleasant for you and especially our cats. Our house rules are visible in our café, and our team will explain them to you. We also have them noted in our cat portfolio´s. If you have any questions in how to approach a cat, please ask us, we are happy to help you out.

• Can I visit with children?

  Yes, children are welcome, as long as they are reported in the remarks of your reservation. If you come with children, without a reservation it is possible we ask you to come back another time. We have a maximum of 4 children per time block.

  The advisory age for children is 6 years. With this age they can understand our house rules better. Please prepare your ( small) children before your visit to us. Cats sleep 16 hours per day, we are not a playground and our cats are not toys. Please supervise your own children at all times. Our catcafé is a quiet serene place, the café is the house of our cats.
