Please Note
PARENTS/GUARDIANS: There is an age limit to this booking. Age (6+) are welcome. There must be one adult to accompany every two kids into the cat lounge. For example: three adults must accompany six kids into the cat lounge. If you show up with too few adults, you will be denied entry.
Please keep in mind that cats are living creatures. As such, sometimes they may be tired and not want to bounce off the walls playing with you. Pay attention to what time you visit. Cats love to nap in the middle of the day.
Do I need to book a visit to the cat lounge ahead of time?
Walk-in spots are available for each session, but space is limited. Reservations are strongly encouraged!
Walk-in spots are first-come-first-serve and cannot be made over the phone, only in person!
It's not letting me add everyone in my group to a reservation! Is the website broken?
No! If you are trying to book a reservation for multiple people and it is not allowing you to add the amount of people you would like, this simply means that the session is full for online reservations.
You are welcome to call and see if there are walk-ins available for that session, but we recommend booking a different session with more space, as walk-in spaces are limited.
Do kids get in for free?
What is the rescheduling or cancellation policy?
Bookings must be cancelled at least 24 hours prior to your reservation and rescheduled at least 2 hours prior to your reservation.
You can cancel or reschedule your booking from your confirmation email as long as it is within the policy time-frame. (under the cat picture!)

Are drinks allowed in the cat lounge?
Is there parking at the cafe?
Do I bring my own cat?
Can I feed the cats during my reservation?
Most of time no. However, we occasionally do treat time a few times a day. Feel free to ask the Feline Guardian or Volunteer on duty if you would like to offer them treats! But it is not always guaranteed, as we do not want our kitties to get too chubby.
Please do not bring the cats any food or treats from outside the lounge.
Are the cats spray/neutered and vaccinated?
Are all cats adoptable?
Most cats in the lounge currently are permanent residents or "ambassadors" that are staying with us for an indiscriminate amount of time until we decide to put them up for adoption.
There are usually some adoptable cats available, but not always.
