Kokoro Cat Café

About

This Japanese-inspired cat café in Flushing operates as Queens' first establishment of its kind, combining beverage service with feline interaction experiences. Located within Tangram Mall, the venue offers 40-minute sessions priced at $20 per person, allowing visitors to spend time with adoptable cats in a controlled environment. The facility maintains specific operating hours with a daily closure period from 3:20 PM to 4:00 PM. The café partners with Anjellicle Cats Rescue to house cats awaiting adoption, serving dual purposes as both an entertainment venue and animal welfare facility. Visitors can interact with various cats, each available for potential adoption into permanent homes. Beyond standard café visits, the establishment hosts specialized events including cat yoga sessions and painting activities alongside the resident felines. Additional services include private event bookings for groups seeking exclusive access to the space and its animal residents. The venue combines traditional café offerings with the unique opportunity for potential pet owners to spend extended time with cats before making adoption decisions, creating an environment where both socialization and pet placement occur naturally.
