Slip off your shoes, make yourself a coffee, and spend some quiet time in the gentle company of rescue cats.
Kumiko is a rescue-led cat lounge designed for calm, connection, and second chances. A place where cats can settle safely — and where you can slow down beside them. Sessions are intentionally small and uncrowded, creating a peaceful environment where cats can feel at ease and you can enjoy unhurried time in their company.
Learn moreWhen cats are given space to settle safely and be themselves, the atmosphere changes — and the people around them feel it too.
Everything we do at Kumiko is designed to protect that balance: a peaceful environment for rescued cats, and a restorative space where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy the quiet comfort of their company.
Designed as a calm transition space while they prepare for adoption, our cats enjoy small, uncrowded sessions, high perches and cosy retreat areas, the freedom to choose how they interact, and the support of our partnership with Belfast Kitten Rescue to ensure responsible rehoming.
A space to step out of the noise of everyday life, where the quiet presence of cats, the comfort of a purr, and gentle moments of connection help soften busy minds, lower stress, and leave you feeling calmer, lighter, and more connected.
Find a comfortable seat, make yourself a drink, and settle in for some gentle time in the company of our rescue cats — whether that means a curious cat coming over to say hello, or simply watching one sleep peacefully in a sunny corner.
