About Neko Ngeru Cat Cafe

A cat adoption café on Level 1, 215 High Street in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt. The website says it is the first cat adoption café in Wellington, and that guests can cuddle the cats and adopt rescue cats. Sessions run for 55 minutes, with bookings starting every hour, and the café has room for only 10 people each hour. Walk-in adult entry is $17 and children aged 7 to 12, students under 18 with ID, and seniors with a gold card pay $16, as at 2026. Booking online and paying ahead is $1 cheaper. Children under 7 cannot enter, infants go free if held or in a carrier, and children aged 7 to 12 need an adult, with one adult to up to two children. Socks are required in the cat room, and some are provided. The café is fully licensed and serves Japanese snacks and soft drinks. There is no lift. The website says cats stay for at least four weeks before a trial with a new family, and that cats from the café are rescues cared for by fosterers.
