El Gato Coffeehouse

A coffee shop aimed at feline fans? That’s what you’ll find at El Gato Coffeehouse in the Woodland Heights neighborhood.

The café offers a wide selection of coffees, teas and edible treats in a homey atmosphere. But what makes this place different are the resident kitties, all rescued and available for adoption to loving homes. You can enjoy a cup of joe and play with the cats—a cool option for those who enjoy the company of kitties but don’t have them as personal pets.

El Gato’s cafe, The Cat Cottage, has four Hive View Indoor cameras throughout the space that capture activity-filled moments of the animals feeding, playing, and sleeping, allowing El Gato customers and Houstonians to live stream and download captured moments on the Hive app.

El Gato also does special events like “Meowvie Night” and classes such as “Yoga with Cats.”
