Designed by Sonya Lee, Meow Parlour is a modern NYC cat cafe where cats and humans alike can play, relax, and form lasting bonds.

As New York City’s inaugural cat cafe that launched nine years ago, Meow Parlour isn?t just a trendy spot for feline fanatics; it’s a haven dedicated to the well-being and adoption of its furry residents. Now in a new location on the Lower East Side of Manhattan designed by Sonya Lee Architect, the Meow Parlour offers a sanctuary where cats and humans come together to play, relax, and form lasting bonds.

At the core of Meow Parlour is its mission to care for vulnerable cats. This non-profit organization provides a holistic approach to feline welfare. From intake and fostering to addressing behavioral and physical issues, every cat at receives comprehensive care. Their residents range from those with medical needs, including FIV-positive and diabetic felines, to those harder to adopt out, like black cats, three-legged wonders, and seniors, each finding a safe and loving environment within the cafe?s walls.
Meow Parlour?s design is a whimsical wonderland, perfectly tailored for both cats and their human visitors. The lounge area is divided into two main sections, each brimming with charm and creativity. The front room features four large booths, connected by a network of portholes and shelf mazes. This setup allows cats to dart in and out, providing endless entertainment for visitors as they relax and enjoy the playful antics...
