Looking for cat places to visit in Australia? Alley Cat Cafe in Ballarat is a must-visit place for all cat lovers! A house full of love for cats, Alley Cat Cafe is a truly amazing Cat House. Here is our photo sneak peek before the story goes out in the Ozzi Cat Magazine’s Winter Issue #12! (Subscribe today to be among cat loving readers who will get it first!)
Our rainy Melbourne’s day was magically swapped with a sunny day in Ballarat! We are very grateful to Tania, Chloe, and Sheryl for having us at the Alley Cat Cafe in Ballarat. We spent almost the whole day at this amazing cat house full of gorgeous cats and chatting with one of the awesome cat ladies I have the privilege to known.
Time flies and you can never have enough of cats! Heartwarming stories and stories of a true life, these ladies are the most amazing people. Running a cat cafe, where you can eat yummy cat-themed cupcakes and drink a “cattachino” (Chloe makes cat faces on coffee!), caring for about ten cats (plus little kittens who they’ve just got into care), and giving back and helping the community – it was just mind blowing.
Today I want to give you a special photo sneak peek, just a few photographs from the Alley Cat Cafe so you get a feeling of the atmosphere there. We felt so loved, like we knew each other for a long time. Is was a family feeling. And it is a Cat House.
Listening to Tania about the future plans and hearing about what they do for people (for kids, for people with disabilities and others) I can confidently tell you, Alley Cat Cafe in Ballarat will be the most awesome cat place to visit in Victoria! Drop everything and come to visit them! Kids are welcome. See how to find them – below the photographs at the end of this post.
