International press highlights a special cat cafe in Hanoi

Ngao's Home is a loving home for 15 felines of various species. Many of them were abandoned or being taken away from original owners by thieves.

Staying in a small alley of Trieu Khuc street (Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi), Ngao's Home Cafe is a favorite address of cat lovers.

This is not only a coffee shop but also a cat-rescue center that always extends its help to injured cats out there.

Ngao's Home is a loving home for 15 felines of various species. Many of them were abandoned or being taken away from original owners by thieves.

Some were found injured after suffering serious accidents.

All the injured cats would be checked by local veterinarian before coming back to their new home in the cafe.

Customers coming to the cafe can enjoy their drinks while cuddling and playing with lovely cats.

The owner of the cafe hope that his customers not only come for food and drink. Maybe they will have empathy for his cats and give some of them a new home./.
