FAQ
Are the cats adoptable? We are a public foster facility for The Rescue House, which has been finding homes for adoptable cats in San Diego since 1999. If you meet a cat that's the right one for you, please ask the staff or volunteers about the adoption process.
How do you make sure the cats stay happy and healthy? The welfare of the cats is our first priority. That's why we limit the number of people who can spend time with them and make sure they have an environment they like. We need your help in making sure they have that environment and we'll go over how you can help once you arrive.
How many cats will be in the Cat Cafe? According to veterinary professionals, no more than a dozen cats should be in a communal living situation. We typically have 10 to 12 cats on site. The number of cats may vary depending on the needs of The Rescue House and recent adoptions.
