Jaffa is our big loveable ginger tom cat. He loves to nap so there’s a 80% chance he will be asleep on your visit but if not, you will catch him jumping on the desk for attention from staff, which sends all of our flyers across the cafe! As soon as you touch him, he’s on instant purr mode. He likes to lick your face and get belly rubs. On his regular check up, our vet could only just hear his heartbeat as his purr was just so loud! Our little ones love to snuggle into his smooth fur so if Jaffa is ever missing, we know he’s just babysitting.

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.

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

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.
