Cat Relax: a refuge and cat paradise in Alicante

If you love cats, you’ll love Cat Relax. Open to the public as a cat cafe, there’s much more going on behind the cat shelter in Alicante. The charity that runs it rescues cats from the street, which anyone can visit - and surrender to - for 1 hour for €7 and for 2 hours for €13 (imprescindible realizar reserva previa). The space, fully “catified” with towers, ladders, scratching areas and swings, is currently home to 13 adorable cats that you can’t stop looking at and photographing (how many photos are enough when it comes to capturing the majestic beauty of these pets?)

The entrance fee includes a drink and some prizes to treat the kittens. A plan of solidarity (all proceeds go to feeding and caring for the cats) and incredibly satisfying. Reading a book, having a coffee or enjoying a good chat never tasted so good as with the cats purring in the background. What’s more, you can pet the cats, play with them and, if you fall in love with one, adopt it and take it home to love it unconditionally forever.
