I really loved the experience. The cats were very chill especially the black cat whoch is my favourite. The employees are also really awesome. They are nice, patient and helpful. What I really loved the most though was the atmosphere. It felt so comforting and so nice that i was about to fall asleep! Overall, great experience.

Went here to visit some cats not knowing what to expect, but paid $15 per person to sit in a room with cats that are trained only to come to the churu and have virtually no cat toys to play with, there was small bits of strings that would be easy for them to injest.. with charging $15 per person you’d think that there would atleast be decent toys for the cats to play with.

Absolutely love the decor! Definitely the prettiest cat cafe I’ve been to in Canada. I visited during the last time slot of the day so the cats were all a little sleepy. Made the mistake of choosing the Vietnamese coffee as my drink but it was very much worth it! The cheesecake was also really good!

Have to have a reservation to pet a cat? Ridiculous if you truly want to home these cats. No one explained anything when we walked in and the kicked my daughter out of the cat room. Strange place.

I was looking for something fun to do in Winnipeg that was a little less touristy, and a friend recommended trying out a cat cafe. I ended up going to Cleocatra on Saturday since it was only a 30 minute walk from my hotel. I am so glad I went!
You should definitely book tickets in advance since there are limited amounts of people allowed in at a time (for very understandable reasons). The cost of admission also includes one free drink. I went with the iced coffee, which was delicious!
The time with the cats felt like an adequate amount, and I was able to sit in the cafe area for an additional hour, watching the adorable kitties while I had my drink.
I definitely fell in love with little Taylor Swift (the black kitty in the images I’m including). If the adoption process wasn’t 1-2 weeks, I definitely would have taken her home with me if I wasn’t leaving Monday morning.
The only thing I would love to see is a bit more supervision from parents/staff members, as I saw a couple of children picking up the cats when they clearly did not want to picked up. There are signs that say not to pick up the cats, but no one was enforcing that.
The staff were quite lovely and answered all of the questions I had.
If you have some extra time, love cats, and want a unique experience, I highly recommend checking out one of the two Cleocatra locations.

It's ok for the novelty. The shop has neat memorabilia in a what once could've been a workshop. Without A/C on a hot day in the front part of the shop, with the old wood and the cats... well, you can figure it out. The smell isn't too pleasant.

I don't care for the roast/ beans they use for their espresso. The iced coffee is just slightly better but better at other places. Service was fine. It's more a place to play with cats, which I recommend making appointment that has coffee as a bonus. But if you're looking for coffee, then I'd recommend passing.

This place is absolutely beautiful and genuine. Got off a long flight and came here to unwind with a special coffee and adorable kitties to pet. What a good way to relax after the airport. If you are in the neighborhood , I highly recommend coming here. The staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations on what to drink. Definitely worth a visit!
