An amazing place for seal lovers! A huge gallery dedicated to fluffy little friends! It seems there is everything from spoons and figurines to poplar down paintings! And all this is dedicated to cats. I definitely recommend you to visit

I really liked the exhibition. I advise everyone to visit. There are many beautiful and interesting exhibits. A hospitable hostess. She can tell you interesting things about anything that interests you. The three cats living there just fascinated me. They are quite tame
and calm. In short, only positive emotions...

A wonderful museum, the perfect place for a cotomagnacoa! Cats even hang from the ceiling! Figurines of cats from all over the world, cats with money, on bottles of alcohol, rocker cats, newlywed cats, cats in boots, swimsuits and without... There are so many cats that after half an hour you even get tired of them, but then the cats living in the museum come to the rescue: they purr, drag, Someone begs for their hands, someone runs in a cot, someone sleeps in an embrace on a couch. A very friendly place!

A cool atmospheric place. It will appeal to both lovers of cats and people with children. There are many unusual and interesting things. There are several seals walking around inside, they allow themselves to be petted. They also have a store there with a lot of products with seals, you can buy something for yourself or as a gift. The ticket price is 15 rubles. Go, you will not regret the proven time and money spent!

An unexpectedly large collection. An excellent educational tour. Live cats just run around the hall and are not afraid of people. There is a store nearby - you can buy something, and everything with a cat theme.

The very place that is not written about in most of the articles "What to visit in Minsk", but which should appear there. An absolutely wonderful place, a real Cat House, where 3 live cats really live and more than 7,000 exhibits are collected!
Cats-books, cats-cups,
Cats-chess, glass.
Watch cats, bookmarks,
Cats-masks, chocolates!
We walked for an hour, looking at the halls with seals. The lovely hostess kindly answered questions, showed them, and told them. Cats can be photographed so that later, flipping through the photos, you can remember this wonderful place✨

This is amazing! I didn't even expect it to be so interesting. The collection is so huge - seven and a half thousand copies - that it is impossible to see everything at one time. You can stand endlessly near each showcase, near each exhibit. I'll be back for sure. And there are three beautiful cats who greet the guests. Yasha was really asking for "pens", I even waved my hand at my black dress. And then they gave me a Velcro brush to clean my clothes. A wonderful gallery!

Very warm impressions of the museum. I have already visited this wonderful place twice with my children and still pulls there like a magnet. The girl guide is at home (she knows all the exhibits, their history), conducts a conversation as if we have known her for a long time)))) Clever girl!!!!!
A cozy, home museum for those who love or want to love cats 😺😽👍🏻
Count on 2-3 hours spent with interest. And the main highlight of this place is the live cats that you can pet, squeeze, hug!!!!!!

I liked it here so much! A little paradise for lovers of cats and everything feline! It's amazing that all this was collected by an adult man! The cats live cute, but we managed to catch two out of three at the workplace. The third one is hiding somewhere. You don't have time to consider everything! My eyes just run away 😂😂😂 I bought a T—shirt with the main employees of the museum and postcards with seals 👍 It's not close to go from the center, but considering that before that I drove to Minsk for a day and a half, twenty minutes by car is nonsense!
It's definitely worth going there if you love seals 💕
Many thanks to the girl employee! She's so sweet, she told us everything, we had a heartfelt conversation 👍

I visited with a friend on Saturday. She was absolutely delighted, because she adores cats, but she can't get her own. There are so many exhibits that I didn't even have enough free space on my phone for photos😂
There is its own merch, as well as a large selection of products somehow related to cats, so you can always choose a gift for yourself or another person.
All funds raised go to the treatment of sick animals.
I definitely recommend it

It's an amazing place.
I often communicate with museum workers at work. "Traditionalists" often do not accept modern museums with interactive, immersive space, etc. Like, "there are 150 exhibits of dubious origin."
Colleagues, you have 7,500 real exhibits! This is a very impressive fund at the present time.
Of course, you need to visit the museum for entertainment, but please do not exclude practical interest. Ceramics, glass, casting, knitting, carpentry, carving and wood painting - your museum is an inexhaustible storehouse of ideas for applied art!

My wife Irina and I went to Kotovasia after reading the rating of Minsk attractions in Tripadvisor, and we were very glad that we visited this wonderful museum! Special thanks to the very friendly girl Ekaterina, the manager of the museum, and the cat Poco, who honored us with his affectionate presence! Ekaterina told us about the Japanese orchestra of cats, which the director of the museum managed to buy with great difficulty at an auction in Japan, and a separate story about a harpist from this orchestra! I think that each of the 7,500 exhibits in this museum has its own unique history. Thanks to the founders of this unique museum! I am especially pleased that the money for the tickets goes to the maintenance of a shelter for lonely and homeless cats and cats. There is a cat-themed store nearby. Trinity: museum, shelter and shop! I highly recommend visiting!!!

A very interesting and diverse exposition, a friendly guide, a cute mustachioed staff. Many exhibits are exciting. Everything is in excellent condition, convenient to view. You can come as a family. The ticket price is symbolic, all funds are used to provide cats and exhibitions. The opportunity to purchase souvenirs, paintings, figurines, dishes-all on a cat theme. Convenient location. Thank you for such an atmospheric place. Praise be to those who work there

I could have put 100 points on it) my next unexpected discovery, I was waiting for less, I went alone, a very friendly girl at the checkout, I didn't expect much, but I was stunned and spent more than 2 hours there, for creative people who are looking for inspiration, there are a million exhibits from all over the world and Peru, Mexico, Japan, Indonesia , Africa, Europe, there are rare materials, for example, one ivory exhibit, several from the ear of a sperm whale, the chessboards were struck by a collection with animal figures, there is a collection of money from all over the world with cats for numismatists, and the pearl of the whole museum is of course real cats, I tried not to bother them, but the cat Stepan tried to lure I got into the game by force, climbed on the closet, and there are exhibits there, Stepan may have blackmailed the safety of the exhibit in exchange for being vilified) but people can't, the museum still, Stepan didn't give up and went to disturb another cat's sleep))) it's a very healthy place, it's a pity they advertise little.People who love cats, or who are creative or who like to broaden their horizons will like it.Thanks to the owner of the collection for exposing all this beauty for a completely nominal fee and we have the opportunity to see it. Thanks!Plus, the money goes to the maintenance, treatment and housing of the seals. Good luck and prosperity to you

I visited an unusual place in the city of Minsk, called "Kotovasia". The impressions are the most pleasant. It lifts the mood from what you see. The number of exhibits and the variety of types and shapes on the theme of a cat, a kitty, a kitten are surprising. The eyes "run away". Everything can be viewed, a photo can be taken. Very beautiful and very contact live cats, meet everyone with a purr. They show love to the first person they meet.
It immediately captivates and surprises. It's nice that three cats are residents of this place. The museum is clearly made by kind people and brings goodness. A great place to bring a child or surprise friends. There are many interesting exhibits, there are rare ones in a single copy. Thank you very much. "You can attach a cat to the lacerations of the soul, a cat has all the properties for the soul. There is softness and warmth in it, and responsiveness in it, and the absence of notes of anxiety."

This is the best collection combined with a common theme - CATS, which I have seen in my life. A masterpiece! A place that you want to return to again and again to see this beauty once again. The organizers are great fellows!
I will not attach photos, because it is much cooler to see the exhibits live. There will definitely be no regrets about the visit + the payment for the entrance ticket will go to help the cat shelter!

It's a wonderful place. I really liked it: both the gallery and the shop are nearby. A cat and a cute girl met us in the gallery. She told me about the exhibits and helped with the photos.
It was simply impossible to choose one thing in the store. Notebooks, notebooks, jewelry, wallets, dishes, clothes and many other products with seals, in the form of seals, about seals.
I will definitely go again! And more than once

I'm not a fan of cats. I came with children aged 4 and 7. We all liked it. The favorites are three live cats, very kind. The exhibition itself is large. Yes, like a gallery. Cats are as diverse as possible. There are a lot of them, interesting, and bright. We recommend it.

A wonderful place! It will not leave anyone indifferent: neither adults nor children. We went a couple of weeks ago, but I still remember with a smile!
The receptionist is very friendly, a nice girl who introduced the residents of the gallery and told them about the exhibition itself.
The expositions themselves evoke bright, positive emotions!
And Yasha the cat is a separate love.
He jumped on the handles and watched the exhibition with me 🤗
Many thanks to the director. A man with a big heart and a beautiful soul.
I recommend visiting the gallery and recharge with positive emotions.
