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?! 😛
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…
Gizmo now lives in South Shields keeping Moira company at home where she runs riot, eats as much as she likes, bird watches and sleeps all day long.Â

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!
Stan the man, the absolute legend. He was the local celebrity and we are so proud to have rescued him! His tongue will forever be iconic. As age was catching up with him, he’s now retired in Yorkshire in the purrfect family home. Keep up with his antics on instagram: @stan_is_a_cat

Jaffa was our big, loveable, ginger tom cat! A typical friendly ginge, who would expose his belly to you no problem at all and give you those sand paper tongue licks. He now resides in Sunderland, with staff member Luke’s family. A lockdown home turned furrever <3
