NEKO: A Cat Café

A big, clean, and friendly place for 24 cats! The staff there were very friendly and loved talking about their cats, and I'm sure they say the same thing over and over again at every hour, so I appreciate their friendliness. There's also a bar for both alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks.

We booked our appointment online, and we had to reschedule it a few times, and they have pretty accommodating for our poor scheduling. I saw a couple walk ins while I was waiting, but there wasn't any slots left at our time, but they were offered an hour later. For around $15 you get 45 mins with the cats.

The cats, there were so sweet and peaceful. Seems like they were very accustomed to people petting them. There were a few playful ones. The place is so relaxed and big enough where you can roam and pet different cats and have a space of your own. The Seattle location is tiny compared to this one.

There is an entry fee for this establishment.. which makes sense because it keeps this business running so they can keep saving kitties. :)
They serve cookies, drinks and have a cute store with cat toys, bandannas and hoodies/shirts.
I loved this place!! My first cat cafe and it helped us decide to go to Seattle to visit their other location! I think it was worth it. My kids loved it.

Great experience, friendly staff and cute cats. Like the appointment time and that they had cats you could adopt .

I found this place by an accident after finding out Woods was closed. A friend and I were too desperate for coffee so this place was it, finally!

We bought coffee for $3.50 per person ($5.25 CDN after conversion via online banking) it was not bad. Too pricy for coffee to begin with. Admission was pretty expensive which was $15 per person. I've gone to Catfe in downtown Vancouver, but this place was quite different. Nice relaxed environment where cats sleep and run while passerby can peek into this cafe. Later people gets evoked by curiosity if cat cafe is new to them.

Cute cafe to visit for sure. Service was friendly. I had a good time seeing cats through the entrance.

Neko was just about the cutest place we've been to in Bellingham so far. We stopped in a few weeks ago to visit their holiday craft market and it was a really nice surprise to find that Neko was super clean. I've been to a few other cat cafes in different states and have generally found that there is a heavy cat box odor when you come inside, but that was, thankfully, not the case. You can tell that all of the cats are well taken care of and truly loved. It was pretty chilly the night we went, so most of the cats were in a sort of hibernation state when we arrived, but once the cat treats came out, they perked up. Neko also has a decent selection of drinks for purchase and some resident cat swag to buy. We had a really great time visiting Neko and will definitely be back.

Shout out to Zeus---the beautiful orange man who greeted us at the door. You the real MVP.

This is definitely a place I'll be visiting again when I get a chance! The cats all seem genuinely content, happy and well cared for. The staff are really friendly. The space is pleasantly designed and is super comfortable!

If you have spare time and want to hang out with some adorable felines or adopt, I'd recommend giving this place a try

I absolutely love neko cat cafe! I've been to the one in Seattle and Bellingham and like the Bellingham location more. The interior is so cute and super spacious. There are around 20 or so cats, so there are plenty to go around for all the visitors. They cats are generally super friendly and love to get pats, though there were a couple that got a little testy. The cat bouncers are awesome too. They're all so knowledgeable, and were able to answer all of the questions we had about the adoptable cats and which ones would fit what we were looking for the best. Definitely recommend spending some time here, though I will say if you're looking to adopt, it won't be the fastest process so you'll have to be patient.

We loved it. My daughter won't stop talking about it. We'll be back time and again I'm sure.

i love this place! i went while visiting a friend and it was so much fun! i will say, make sure to make a reservation before hand as spots for each hour fills up fast! the staff was so nice and the cats were so fun to play with. I'd definitely come if i'm ever in the area again!

My boyfriend and I were taking a day trip up to Bellingham to visit a cousin. I made reservations for the three of us to try out NEKO (we are all kitty fanatics)! This place certainly did not disappoint. I believe there were about 20ish kitties overall and they were all so sweet. One even jumped up on my boyfriend's shoulders, I tried to get a picture but he got down by the time I got my camera out. I like that they offer small bites and drinks while you enjoy the playtime. Be aware that you do have to make reservations to get in. I definitely plan to check out the café in Seattle as well...if anything it supports the felines!
