When you think of a kontaktní zoo s kočičkami, místo, kde si děti i dospělí mohou jemně pohladit klidné kočky v bezpečném prostředí. Also known as kočičí farmy, it is a growing trend in Czechia, especially for families looking for gentle, interactive experiences away from loud enclosures and crowded exhibits. Unlike traditional zoos, these places focus on calm, friendly cats that are used to human touch — often rescued or raised specifically for interaction. You won’t find exotic animals here, just soft purrs, warm laps, and kids learning how to handle animals gently.
These spots often pair well with other family-friendly attractions like small farms, petting zoos with rabbits or goats, and outdoor play areas. Many are located near towns like Znojmo, České Budějovice, or Olomouc, making them perfect for a half-day trip. Some even offer workshops for children on how to care for cats, or have cozy corners where you can sit with a cup of tea while your little one plays with a sleepy tabby. The key is that the cats are not stressed — they come and go as they please, and staff make sure no one forces interaction. This makes them ideal for kids who are nervous around animals, or for adults who just want to unwind with a purring companion.
If you’re planning to visit, remember: bring a light jacket (cats love warmth), avoid strong perfumes, and don’t try to pick up every cat you see. Let them approach you. Some places even let you take photos with the cats, and a few have small gift shops with cat-themed souvenirs or treats. You’ll also find that many of these zoos partner with local shelters, so your visit helps support animal welfare. And while the main stars are the cats, don’t be surprised if you spot a friendly rabbit, a curious chicken, or even a tame hedgehog nearby — these places often blend into broader animal-friendly experiences.
Below you’ll find real, tested recommendations from families who’ve been there — from hidden gems in Moravia to cozy cat corners near Prague. Whether you’re looking for a quiet afternoon with your own cat in tow, or just want to give your child their first gentle animal encounter, these spots deliver more than just a photo op. They build trust, calm nerves, and sometimes even spark a lifelong love for animals.
