It's hard to call it a museum. The main attraction: 5 or 6 cats that you can pet, etc. Someone really enjoyed it. It didn't go well for me. I've seen so many cats in my life that these didn't impress me in any way

In general, I did not like it. The whole impression is clogged by a very unpleasant pungent smell of cat urine, which meets as soon as you open the door to the museum. In this regard, visiting the museum becomes uncomfortable and interest is lost. In the kotokaf, there is not even a thought to drink or eat something, the smell kills all appetite. There were few cats on the day of the visit, half of them were asleep. They are ironed, but there is no reaction from them, as if everyone has already got them. The ticket price is greatly overstated in my opinion in relation to the quality of the service, 12 r entrance. On the positive side, the idea of helping homeless cats and introducing visitors to it is interesting. But the implementation is still not up to a good level.

We were not impressed. Most likely, it is for those who do not have cats at home, but really want to touch and caress these cute animals

Because I do not feel the smell, in general it was interesting to me, the child was interested, but the seals really lack care, although it is difficult for me to blame 1 person for this and it is probably difficult.

The place is peculiar. I've wanted to go for a long time, I've heard about the museum, but when I got there, the desire to stay there more disappeared
I expected a little different from the place, Of course, there are many cats living there, so the appropriate smell, the cats are the most friendly
Plus the entrance is 12p per hour
In general, I would not recommend this place for tabletops and tea gatherings

This is not a museum. There are 4 cats and that's it. Some drawings of cats. The ticket is also expensive. Almost 400 rubles in Russian rubles. I don't recommend going there. Although maybe someone likes such places. Decide for yourself.

We were here today, August 10, 2022.
The ticket is 12p adult, for an hour (!)
The Museum is a big word. In fact, they are just cats and cats that can be petted. And a bunch of children's drawings-that's all the museum "exhibits".
It is better not to go to the toilet, it smells like cat urine so that it corrodes the eyes.
2 stars only for the opportunity to accommodate those very cats. Not anymore.

I was in this museum 3-4 years ago and today. The difference is huge, today there was a very strong smell, the friend with whom I came became ill, they light incense in packs, but they only worsen the situation. IT was VERY DIRTY, there was a puddle on the floor, so the administrator walked over it 1 time with a mop into which urine was absorbed - that's the whole cleaning. Cats have problems with their eyes, pus, the administrator could not clearly answer what is sick and how they are treated, he said only about one cat that they have been treating for half a year (he said they only drip, they do not even wash) and the second cat no longer has one eye, either he does not see with it, and the second one is festering. Cats do not behave adequately, they are sluggish, as if under something, when I was here 3-4 years ago, the cats were cheerful and happy, they made contact themselves, and there was no such smell, it was clean and the cats behaved like normal, ordinary cats. I also noticed that the food bowls are not washed.
And it wouldn't hurt to at least give out shoe covers to visitors, otherwise you can accidentally bring infection to cats from the street.
It's a pity for the animals, or the management has changed or they don't control the work of the employees. And helpless animals suffer as usual from this.
Please change the staff to people who care about the life and well-being of animals.
Now it looks like they're just making money on cats - and they don't care about the cats themselves

It 's a wonderful place . There are several rooms in the museum and Cats everywhere, we counted 18 of them. Cats are very tame, they go to their hands, jump on their knees and sleep. The cafe offers free tea with sweets. And in a separate room you can draw a cat and hang your drawing)))

This is a shelter for cats, not a museum! And in the center of the city where Manyushka lived in the house ! I am by no means begging for the importance of the staff's work. I see that they are enthusiasts of their indisputably necessary business , but nothing more !!!

A very soulful place! Cats and cats are treated with incredible warmth here. The main thing is that here you can pick up the cat you like.

One of the most unusual museums in Minsk. An ideal place for a hike with a child. Or a romantic date with a girl who loves cats.
Cats are mostly tame and affectionate. You can play with some of them. To stroke others. And the third and cuddle.

I would not call it a museum, an apartment with cats, which clearly does not benefit from so much attention from strangers, especially from children who harass poor cats, although it is clear that due to ticket sales they contain this, in fact, a shelter for homeless animals, well, the smell is specific, yes.

A good place, many different seals that you can pet, you can make yourself tea, buy souvenirs. But the smell is very unpleasant , and quite dirty . It's better to come on weekdays, there are a lot of people on weekends

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!

Awful. Organizers, is it really impossible to take care of the cleanliness of the room? They take children to you, have the honor.
The stench is so sharp and persistent that it is impossible to catch your breath after visiting. The incense in the corners does not hide the smell of urine.
I even wonder how the city administration allows such a state of the "museum", meaning visitors.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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?..

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
