The cat Museum, that's a big word. But the direction of this organization is very good, well done, they attach seals, feed them. I couldn't stay there, the smell overpowered me, the children spent about half an hour there, called them and asked them to wash their hands, but they were simply treated with antiseptic, this is a huge minus. After spending time with the cat, it is necessary to organize hand washing with soap and water, and not rub dirt on your hands
Pleasant administration, a lot of cats and live communication with animals, opportunities to draw and have fun for children, however, due to the specifics of the institution, it smells bad and is not very clean, it also happens to be cold and blowing because of open windows, which is not very pleasing, and so the institution is excellent if you do not have a cat -- come and play with them, or maybe you'll take someone with you
Thanks to all the cats for taking a nap on my lap. The best tactic is to come with sweets, or try to just sit down and wait) May all cats have a good fate
Well-being to responsible people
Sorry for the animals, tired and tortured. Small children are allowed in, parents do not always follow them, they drag and squeeze cats. Unsanitary conditions.

It smells terrible!!! It even blows the tears out of my eyes....
Cats are just lovely, it was very interesting to visit with a child. We went on a weekday, so there were a comfortable number of people, but there was always a crowd at the "cafe" for tea. The price is good, not a lot, not a little.
In fact, it is not a museum.... Going there means helping people who have sheltered stray cats. A very strong smell, I do not recommend people who do not tolerate the smell of cats to come here. There is a place for tea, a room with drawings, but again the smell. To provide support, that's the main reason why you should come here.
If you love cats, then it makes sense to go. And so the smell is not the most pleasant, there is not much interactive. Maybe the hot weather blurred the impression, but I didn't really like it
This is a great place to get in touch with the world of cats. If it is not possible for the cat to be at home. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. And cats are just awesome
This place should not be called a "Cat Museum", but a "Cat House". If you don't have the opportunity to keep cats at home, but you love them, then you can come and chat with cats in this house. It's cozy there, it's fluffy there, it's purring there. Sitting down on a high chair, we got a queue for a place on our knees :) There are a decent number of statuettes on cat themes, paintings on the walls evoke thoughts of a fluffy cozy world. Do you know what else you can do there? You can make friends with a cat and take her/him to your family forever!
Of the disadvantages, only the smell. However, he didn't scare anyone.
I liked the museum itself, despite the persistent cat smell. It is clear that cats are being stabbed with something, which makes them so sluggish. In general, I recommend it for a visit.
It's a good museum. With a lot of people alive! cats. There are a lot of interesting things. The children are delighted. There is an opportunity to drink tea or coffee for free, buy original souvenirs. 4 stars only for the shocking smell from the live exhibits :)
The impression is not the best, the smell is incredible, the seals are clogged, although no one touches them, you can more or less sit where the windows are open indoors, the prices of products are inflated (it is clear that for animals) but for such a price tag and services should be appropriate
The stench is terrible. In the beginning, the toilet of the seals stank, later some man came and filled everything with air freshener. It was unbearable to breathe. Cats are fearful, tortured, do not make contact. There is no cafe like this, you can make tea for yourself and take sucking sweets.
Cool cats! They feel so comfortable there that they lie right under their feet at the entrance!)) For cat lovers, this is what you need!! All cats can be petted, no one resists 😊

Compared to other kotokafes I've been to, it's a very pleasant experience. There are many animals, all cats are alive and active. Visitors are not recommended to pick them up if the cat does not want to.
As always, you need to understand that this is not a cafe - there is an area where you can drink tea or take candy, but it is impossible to create a cafe with cats according to sanitary standards. Therefore, be ready to come just to the playground to communicate with cats, there are a lot of them here, they have their own stories - and they will willingly tell you about them.
If you don't have animals, you can go. They lie about the lack of smell from animals. Although they are trying to fight it. It's dirty. Kotokafe is only one name. Just a cooler, plastic cups, tea bags...
It is loudly said "Cat Museum". For me, it's just an institution for spending time with children, and then for an amateur. Only five cats were present during our visit.

A cute museum for cat lovers, but a pungent smell scares them away. There are a lot of paintings, statuettes, and all sorts of other little things. It seems that a lady with cats once lived there and after her it all remained). The seals walk freely where they want, if you sit down on a bench, the cat will jump on your lap.
I came to Minsk for the first time, and immediately wanted to go to the Cat Museum. Unfortunately, I couldn't even get in. As soon as I opened the door to the museum, the persistent smell of acetone from the cat trays hit my nose, it was impossible to go inside.
It's inhumane to keep cats in such conditions.
It's a terrible place. I just feel sorry for the animals.

A wonderful place, especially for children from 6 to 10 years old
we assumed that everything would be completely different, but as we came we were very disappointed, it stinks terribly of cat urine, and there is nothing to do there, 8-9 cats who are sleeping.I could also stand near the entrance and have even more impressions!
The idea is great, but the implementation is not up to par... The main disadvantage is the terrible smell. It should also be said that the animals seem to be smoothed out and shy away from all visitors...

There are more than twenty seals, there are kittens, there is plenty for fans of murchalnik here. There is a separate room with tea and coffee. A mini souvenir shop, there are many original paintings with cats on the walls. Very emotional. Children should be warned in advance that not everything is given to iron, they may scratch.
The smell is just terrible. As soon as you walk up the stairs, you immediately smell the sea. They say that there is another cat museum. Let's hope for him.

I probably came too late, since there weren't many seals, in general it wasn't bad, although there wasn't much place to sit, and there were enough people.. There was tea
