🧦 SHOES OFF
We're a shoes off, no bare feet cat lounge. Socks and shoe covers are available for purchase if needed.
🎟️ TICKETS
Each ticket is valid for one guest and for one time use. Each person in your group must have their own ticket to enter the cat lounge. When purchasing your ticket you agree to rescheduling and refund policies with no exceptions.
🎟️ RESCHEDULING You can reschedule your reservation yourself up to 12 hours before your scheduled time slot. After that we are unable to reschedule you for any reason.
🎟️ REFUNDS We can refund your ticket (minus the processing fee) up to 48 hours before your scheduled time slot. After that we are unable to refund you for any reason.
🎟️ RUNNING LATE If you're running a little late for your reservation, we can usually still admit you but please keep in mind that sessions end 10 mins before the top of the hour regardless of your arrival time. We can only fit 10 guests in our lounge at a time, so we cannot roll over into the next hour's session.
⏰ TIME
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your reservation to check in with a lounge attendant. You will be let into the cat lounge at the top of the hour and will be allowed to stay until 10 minutes before the hour.
🐈 RULES
Familiarize yourself with our rules before your arrival. The safety and security of the cats is our top priority, so that's why we do not allow guests to pick up the cats and follow all of other rules. Our staff has the right to ask anyone who isn't following the rules to leave without a refund.
☀️ CAT ACTIVITY
The cats tend to be most active during the 10am and 11am session, usually less active during the afternoon times, and active again during the evening hours (but this is not a guarantee!) Please choose a time of day that will give you the experience you are looking for.
💵 TICKET SALES
Ticket sales are a tax-deductible donation. All proceeds go towards shelter, food, toys, and vet care for our adoptable cats.
🐈⬛ ADOPT
- Our adoptable cats come from The Cat Collaborative/House Of The Cat. They have all been vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and chipped.
- Due to high adoption rates, we can never guarantee which cats or how many cats will be available when you visit.
- We only accept applications from potential adopters after they've met the cat in-person as our mission is to find all of our cats the purrrfect home. - Please apply in-person during your visit, there is no online application.
- The application process can take up to a week. We do not offer same-day adoptions.
- You will only be permitted to pick up your new kitty once the rescue has set up a pick up date and time appointment.
- All cats must go home in a safe carrier. Cats cannot be taken home in any other container.
