HOW IT WORKS

We house about 20 adoptable rescue cats that are looking for their forever homes. We run on a reservation system for guests to spend time with the cats. RESERVATIONS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Walk-ins are welcome pending availability. All reservation fees go towards the housing and care of the cats.

The café/wine bar area is downstairs and separate from the cat lounge. There is no fee to hang out in the café area. All food must be consumed downstairs for the health and safety of cats and guests. If you do plan to eat with us, we recommend doing so following your cat visit to ensure you get all of your cat time!

Location & public transportation

We are located at 109 S Alfred Street in Old Town Alexandria near the intersection of King Street and Alfred Street, approximately halfway between King Street Metro Station (14 min walk) and the Old Town Alexandria waterfront (12 min walk). The free King Street trolley is also available via the nearest pickup spot at the intersection of King Street & Patrick Street around the corner.

Parking

Metered street parking is available on all nearby streets. There is also a small metered parking lot behind the building accessible via King Street, Patrick Street, or Downham Way. Free 2 hour parking is also available on Prince Street and further south on S Alfred Street. The gravel lot behind the building is reserved for deliveries only.

NOTE: Parking has become harder to find lately as the world gets back to normal, especially on the weekends. Please give yourself ample time to find a nearby parking spot if that is your method of transportation. We do not provide refunds if your hour is cut short due to difficulties finding parking.

Accessibility

Our building is two floors and the main entrance to the cat café is on S Alfred Street. The cats have free reign on the second floor, as well as in an enclosure in the front window on the ground floor. If you wish to bypass the cat area completely, there is an entrance in the rear of the building on the lower level that is ADA accessible and houses the restroom and café/wine bar. Please note there is no elevator to access the second floor.

Booking

Reservations are encouraged and can be done so at the link at the top of the page but walk-ins are very welcome provided we are not at capacity. If you plan to bring more than 8 people, please inquire about a private party.
