They went with such inspiration, the idea was gorgeous, and the seals were sheltered and they could find a new home, but as soon as they opened the front door, even with a mask, it was clear that it was not possible to be there, it was a smell that hits the nose with iron force! Gentlemen, it's impossible, how can such a stink stand in an institution, poor employees and visitors who could overcome themselves and stay longer than 1 minute, because we couldn't, but we really wanted to!

Cats are drugged with something because they sleep all the time or behave very sluggishly.
The male receptionist tried to tell us that we were on a "quiet hour" because all the cats were asleep at that moment.
But this is not the first time I have come here and they always have such a condition, it becomes clear that the shelter is just making money from unfortunate animals.
The entrance fee per person is 12 rubles.
The smell of urine is a complete tin, for some reason incense has been set on fire, which only enhances the smell. The smell of hard ammonia and sandalwood is trash. It would be better to just wash with normal means and open the windows, because it is impossible to stay here for a long time.

I will not recommend this place to anyone. I've been wanting to go for a long time. And finally it worked out and I was terribly disappointed. The idea is great, the implementation is terrible. The smell is pungent, really it is impossible to come up with some kind of ventilation, especially since there are visitors, so there is money, especially since tickets are not cheap for this place. Kotokafe is just a name, water and tea bags, there was no coffee or goodies, and in this atmosphere, to be honest, it discouraged all desire to drink anything at all. There were sooo few seals, maybe 10 of them. It is not organized at all, in short, I am very disappointed, the only thing I will hope is that the money will still go to the needs of the seals

A terrible stench, dirt, cat shit is not cleaned, it lies and smells!!! They also charge money for it! It's terrible! Everyone wears shoes without shoe covers and cats walk there even on the dirty floor. It's the same as stroking stray cats on the street. Do not take small children there in any case!!!!!!! Unsanitary conditions

The seals are different. Everyone has their own story. The museum is rather a place for overexposure of seals, but they are treated very carefully. The paintings are interesting! And the "shoelace" cat is beautiful but touchy.

It looks more like a cattle pen than a museum. The smell of cat urine hits the nose at the entrance to the entrance, at the entrance to the "museum" it already hurts the eyes... Inside, the situation is like in a communal apartment for drunks 🤢

Somehow we expected more. At the entrance, they said that there were 19 cats in the museum, in fact, I did not count more than 10. I was more repelled by the unpleasant smell in the museum, the dusty shelves in the souvenir windows, and the souvenirs themselves are expensive. Children may be interested in spending time there, painting, but I got the impression that money is being made under the guise of a good cause. I will not judge anyone, but I have no desire to go again.

For those who care about cats . Admission is 15p for an adult. It's more like a donation to keep the furry ones. This is not a museum. There are live cats there.

This is rather not a museum, but a shelter - a place for cats to wait for their future owners :) made and decorated by enthusiastic people. It was interesting for the children to visit, feed and communicate with cats and cats. Good luck!

I didn't like the place in itself, despite my strong love for cats.
The room is very stuffy, cats are dying (the month of August), stench, a lot of children's drawings, but it looks a little paranoid in the compartment, the entrance is not cheap: 12 rubles per adult, there is not much to see.

The staff or the owners are very friendly, some cats are friendly: they sit on their knees, they want to be stroked
Which is understandable in principle, because of the abundance of cats, there is a terrible smell, a huge minus
Well, the ticket price is not light

The idea is initially good, the implementation is so-so. It is better to visit on weekdays - there are fewer people and cats are more sociable.
Dignities:
* Mustachioed tailed friends themselves are one big advantage. There are already 18 of them in the museum for April 2021, and you can chat and play with them.
* A good exposition, a lot of interesting works on the cat theme. There is a lot to see for cat lovers.
* You can take photos on your mobile phone, it is possible to organize a professional photo shoot.
* There is a room where children can draw seals, and where children's drawings are posted.
Disadvantages:
* A rather poor set of souvenirs.
* The most unpleasant thing (why the low rating) is that there is no normal habitat for cats, they simply have nowhere to go during the influx of visitors, they are nervous on weekends and holidays. There is not enough gallery at a level above human height so that cats could not shy away from the museum under the feet of a crowd of visitors, but proudly walk, as befits a Koshchu. And, if desired, they could honor the visitors of the institution with their attention by going down below. Similarly, sleeping places, places of eating and drinking, as well as latrines should be inaccessible to visitors. Beds and houses are higher, at the gallery level and above, everything else is in a separate room(s), where cats can themselves get through the gallery through holes in the walls to eat, drink, recover, relax. Cats need a "TV": a window where you can look - I didn't notice this possibility either.
Before my eyes, two cats were trying to escape through the front door, and three more mustachioed cats were quietly sitting in the narrow corridor at the entrance to the utility room - so that the workers would let them hide there. That is, they were pretty fucked up.
All of the above is well implemented in St. Petersburg in the Kotokafe "Republic of Cats" on Yakubovich 10 (they were in 2015). I haven't been to a foundry in a similar institution.
I hope that the museum will have the opportunity to survive the pandemic and create comfortable human conditions for the main characters and inspirers of the exhibition. Would you send a couple of employees on a creative business trip to St. Petersburg, or what, but have you opened a target collection for the gallery and other tsarapoinfrastructure?..

You can visit once, especially for lovers of cats and cats)) I was able to stay there for about three minutes because of the strong smell. You can also drink tea for free, but there is a cat tray nearby, so your appetite has not woken up

Be sure to stop by and feed or just spend time surrounded by tailed ones. There are quite a lot of them here, all the seals have been inspected. You can also give someone a new house

A smelly little room for 15 rubles! The cats are all tortured and hid, the maximum is given to stroke and then not all. Children can be bitten and scratched if they are persistent with animals. There is a very strong smell of cat food and cat waste trays. There are a lot of drawings, but it's not worth it.

Terrible attitude towards customers!!!!! The opening hours of the museum are indicated from 11 o'clock. My two young children and I arrived at this museum at 11 a.m. everything was closed. We waited until 12 o'clock, and no one showed up. Builders working nearby say that this museum opens spontaneously. The children are upset, and so are the adults. There is no information on the website, on Instagram, the phone is disconnected. In general, he doesn't even deserve one star!!!!

Cats are either drugged, or sedated in their food or something like that. Cats sleep everywhere, do not react, even when they are turned over, or react minimally and continue to sleep. It's disgusting. And these people say that "before we give you the cat, we will interview you."
Closer to closing, the seals are no longer given a sedative and they begin to become adequate cats: they express their dissatisfaction, start brawling with each other, just run around and generally move around. And employees with a smile on their face at closing greet people who came at 19:00 and beyond, saying that the seals are more active now (in the evening). Well, of course they are active, but you, *dishonest people*, do not stuff them with pills. Why should they be quiet at night, you don't have visitors.
It's disgusting. Painfully. Low.
You have 2 people on shift, but you still don't have time to clean up the piss after the cats? I don't see anything complicated in this.
Not another foot, just to take the cat away from this torment.

I can't say anything about this place. An Auditor will come to check on you in the near future. They applied for this cafe and recorded the fact of the torment of cats and a disgusting brothel room. It's in the process, I hope all the kitties will be taken into good hands. And the cafe will be closed.

In general, everything is fine, the cats are cute, but the tickets are expensive (1000 Russian rubles came out for a family of 3 people). This price includes tea in a kotokaf and sweets, but the smell of cat poop is such that the appetite disappears. There are many trays in each room, but they are all without filler. Seals just go to empty trays. At this price of an entrance ticket, they could fork out for filler, and cats and indoor floors should be washed more often. I am not allergic, we have 3 cats at home, but after half an hour of staying there, my eyes watered and ached from the acrid smell.
