Policies

 

THE BASICS:

  • All food must be consumed in the café. No outside food or drink is allowed.

  • Front door must be closed if opening inside door and vice versa.

  • Admission to the café area ONLY is free. Like other cat cafés, we charge a reservation fee for the cat lounge so we are able to pay for cat housing and care 24/7.

  • Customers must sign waiver prior to admission. This can be done at the time of reservation or at check-in. Copy of Waiver

  • Our ADA and cat-free entrance to café is available around back.

  • Please minimize flash photography, although pictures and video is encouraged!

  • No outside cats. All of our cats are rescues and are vetted before arrival.

  • Handwashing is recommended before and after interacting with cats.

  • Guests must pay attention to the cats’ behavior and reactions.

    • Do not pick up cats. The exception is if it is clear the cat wants you to.

    • Petting a sleeping cat is ok; waking it up to play is not.

    • Playing with the cats is encouraged!

  • We reserve the right to remove or deny entry to anyone who is causing distress to the animals.

CHILDREN:

  • Previous experience and interactions with cats is HIGHLY recommended. We house around 20 cats at a time. Cats are living things and some have limited experience with children. Please decide if your child is able to responsibly be around cats, or if they are fearful of them before your visit.

  • Anyone visiting aged 16 or 17 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.
