Our fosters kitties range in age, size, socialization, and temperament, so for their comfort and safety, we strictly follow our age policy of 8 years old unless you reserve the cat lounge via kiddie kitty time. Kiddie kitty time is a kid friendly reservation time slot between 10am and 11am every Saturday morning and 11am to 12pm every Monday.

We believe it is important for children of all ages to learn about cats; however, having children under 8 in the cat lounge all the time can be tricky for both the kids and the kitties.
‍
Please note that we reserve the right to ask anyone of any age to exit the cat lounge if we feel the comfort and safety of our cats are being compromised.

Although we would love to meet everyone’s fur babies, please do not bring your cat to the cat café. We will have plenty of foster kitties for you to visit and play with.

We welcome service dogs in the café; however, service dogs are excluded from the cat lounge due to the instincts dogs and cats have that lead towards antagonistic interactions. We are a foster home for our kitties and want to keep them safe and happy.

Unfortunately, we cannot take in cats until they have been thoroughly vetted and quarantined. Check out these resources our shelter partner, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, provided for bringing in a stray or rehoming your cat.

Sponsoring a cat is a great way to help them find their forever homes even if you can't adopt them yourself. Sponsoring simply means covering the adoption fees of a cat.
