Mog on the Tyne

Nacho

Nacho is our friendly easy going boy, who’s favourite thing in the world is his pink cushion! If you’re resting on it, beware! He definitely will force you off it so he can pad at it! It’s very cute to watch and shows he is still a baby at heart. A lot of people get confused between Nacho and Fox, but Nacho has more white – especially on his long legs with white paws too. We think he’s going to grow super tall!

Dexter

Dexter is our senior member of the gang currently at 8 years old. He merely has time for the little ones chasing silly toys and is more interested in the good stuff, food! He likes to graze on different spots in the cafe, but he seems to find the cat tree’s comfiest.
He very much reminds us of a cat we once had resident here.. can anybody guess who?! 😛

Bear & Wednesday

Meet our new little additions to the Mog on the Tyne family Bear and Wednesday! They came to us from a farm in York and it’s safe to say they’ve settled in so quickly giving a new lease of energy to the cafe residents, even sleepy Jaffa wants to stay awake and play with them!

BALLET AND WOBBLE

We have two new rescue cats from a cat sanctuary in Thailand! Founder Katie fell in love with the 2 cats, she knew she wanted to bring them to the café as they would get all the love and attention they needed right here at Mog on the Tyne. She was asked if she could take them on and so we raised enough money to bring the cats over, all in the form of donations received from the amazing customers who came to Mog on the Tyne.
Having Wobble and Ballet at the café ensures that they will have the best quality of life possible. Both cats were born around the same time but not in the same litter, with the neurological disorder called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. This neurological disorder is not progressive and they have both had the disorder since birth. You will see both cats being adorable wobbling about the café, but don’t worry they are both very happy and healthy! 



Rehomed Cats –>

When lockdown hit and we knew it was going to be for a while, we decided to let our felines stay with friends, family and loyal customers – in snug homes that catered to their needs and with constant attention indoors of course! As time went on, our moggies got a little too comfortable and some decided they wanted to stay! That’s more than ok with us, so long as they are happy 🙂
If we ever adopt any cat that becomes unhappy or is not mixing well with our other cats anymore, we find nice new furrever homes for them! We specifically pick homes that will cater to their needs, whether it be a single cat household, a house with a garden, a house with no children etc. So here are our previous residents, which you may have had the pleasure of metting yourself in the past…

Ballet

Ballet arrived to the café with Wobble, they were both from an animal sanctuary in Thailand. Our founder Katie fell in love with the 2 cats and was asked if she could bring them to the cat café, as they would get all the love and attention they needed right here at Mog on the Tyne. We raised money to bring the cats over, all money came from donations received from the amazing customers who came to Mog on the Tyne. Both cats were born with a neurological disorder called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Don’t worry they are both very happy and healthy cats, the neurological disorder they have is not progressive, they have both had the disorder since birth.
Wobble and Ballet now live with founder Katie in her home as they need constant attention and special care, so they are now in the best hands for their quality of life!

Tokyo

Tokyo is the brother to our Jaffa, but these two ginger tom cats could not be more different! Eventually, Tokyo became uninterested in the other cats and used to hide under one of the tables. However we noticed our regular customer Saffron who visited every week, had developed some sort of bond with Tokyo! He would roll over for her, let her touch is belly (which is a huge sign of trust) and go to her when she walked through the door. So of course if Tokyo was to be happier in Saffron’s house, we decided that’s where he should live! Now they are very happy together indeed.
