York Cat Hunt


The York Cat Hunt is for those who want to have a go at finding the cats without first looking up their locations in the Cat Directory.


Pick up a leaflet from The Cat Gallery shop, Visit York Information Centre or many accommodation providers and attractions in and around York. Or download the leaflet below.


Depending on your cat-spotting skills, our self-guided kitty hunt takes 60 - 90 minutes. Allow longer if you're likely to get distracted by the many shopping and dining distractions in York!

We hope you enjoy this unique York walk!

Further details

The York Cat Hunt leaflet does not include all the cat statuettes in York, as some are a fair distance from the city centre and some are not accessible 24/7.  Feel free to add others to your own Cat Hunt- all the cat statuettes we know of are listed in the Cat Directory, with approximate locations given (precise locations are also available via links in the Cat Directory).


Cats in York has no control over any of the statuettes, thus we cannot help it if any cats have since been removed, but please inform us via the Contact Form so we can update the Cat Hunt. Please remember to be careful at all times, especially when crossing roads. We cannot take any responsibility for any accidents that may occur during participation in the York Cat Hunt.
