A Greenwich cat café where every resident cat is a rescue, with plant-based bakes made in-house, creative events and a team that has rehomed more than 60 cats.

Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium is a cat café on King William Walk in the heart of Greenwich, a short stroll from the Cutty Sark. Run by a close-knit team of cat lovers, it brings people together over a shared love of cats while giving its resident rescue cats a calm, enriching home until they find their forever families. So far the team has found loving homes for more than 60 cats in or under its care.

Every cat here is a rescue. The current clowder includes playful Prince, bouncy Baloo, once-shy Silvius, long-haired Charlie II (found as a tiny stray in Blackheath) and Poirot, named for his distinctive moustache. Visits are booked as cat café sessions, and a member of the cat care team is always on hand to explain what each cat enjoys most. The house rules keep the cats happy: let sleeping cats lie, no picking up, no feeding and no flash photography, and guests must be 12 or over.

The cat-themed menu is baked in-house by Head Baker Temini Kasumu, and every bake is free of meat, dairy and eggs. There is a lively events programme too, from painting nights and tarot-card workshops with Two Cats Collective to enrichment crafts where you make puzzle feeders for the cats. Gift vouchers and souvenirs are sold online.

Blackheath & Greenwich is working with Lady Dinah's on a feature documentary, so look out for more films from the Emporium soon.
