Oops, I seem to have become something of a regular. Since mid-January 2025 I have been a total of 10 times. As anyone who knows what a fussy fart I am, this should tell you a story. What started as a means to de-stress has turned into a full-blown love affair. With Blossom ! If only it were a two-way affair.... This place and the people are superb and their service should be offered on the NHS ! The calming atmosphere is an absolute joy to behold and partake of. I love seeing the faces of first-time visitors as they realise they've just stepped into a wonderland of feline company. But watch out for the beautiful Sushi ! Like all cats, she's in charge. Try to tickle her underbelly and you'll find out what I mean ! The gorgeous Frank rules the roost with a firm grasp and does not let deafness slow him down at all. Kit Kat never acknowledges my existence – quite right ! And Tweeny? Well, what can I say about the Grande Dame Tweeny. Blossom had better watch out as Tweeny is in severe danger of overtaking Blossom in my affections. I love this place folks, as you may be able to tell ! Well worth the 25-mile round trip. Get yourselves down to sunny Tonbridge and see if you don't too. Oh, and if there's a bearded, aging old git in the corner with a broad smile on his face, give me a wave !

I had a lovely time at Paws Cat Café. It’s a small, cozy place where you can enjoy a drink or snack while spending time with friendly cats. The café feels calm and welcoming. The cats are relaxed, playful, and very well looked after. You can stroke them if they come to you, but they also have space to rest if they don’t want attention. I liked that the café really cares about the cats’ happiness. I would recommend Paws Cat Café to anyone who enjoys being around animals. It’s a lovely spot in Tonbridge where both people and cats are treated with care.

Fabulous, peaceful cat. My children loved it but were jealous that the cats preferred to sit on me!

Paws cat cafe has always been really good when I've visited. Plenty of cats (the most important part!), lovely staff and straight forward cafe style food. The cafe is laid out well for photography, comfy and there's never been any rush to leave bang on an hour. As of 2024, £10 gets you in and a drink. I feel this is fair value. Probably best to book but I've always been lucky with walk in appointments. I do visit outside of school time. It's a brilliant place to spend a relaxing quiet hour and I'd would recommend the cafe to anyone who enjoys cat company.

A lovely little cafe with the most adorable cats. The staff were super friendly and the hot drinks we had were absolutely delicious. The cats are all clearly very happy and well looked after and a couple came and sat on our laps and interacted with us. A great price for a cute afternoon treat. Would recommend.

One of the best, most chilled cat cafes I've been to. Having a restrained amount of people on at one time is clearly good for the cats, who are very sociable and relaxed around people. Much better than busier cafes where cats tend to hide from too many people or too much noise. Reservations required and food is simple and well presented. Looking forward to going again!
