About

Visit with up to 30 rescue cats, all available for adoption in a lounge-like atmosphere built for cat and human interaction at The Cafe Meow New Hope!! If you are looking to relax, adopt, or meet a friend, do it in the company of cats. Your ticket into the lounge is $10.50 on weekdays and $15.00 on weekends per person – this helps cover the many costs keeping the cafe running and providing our cats with their luxurious, all-inclusive accommodations. Thanks to your purchase, they get free room and board, and possibly a few extra treats (because we all know they have expensive tastes!). Food and beverage from the cafe are allowed in the cat lounge at the customers discretion. Each appointment starts and ends on the hour.


Check-in with the cashier located in the cafe at arrival. Arrive 15 minutes early to make sure you get into the lounge on time. (Except for the first hour of the day.)

Notice About Children: No kids under 7 years of age are allowed into the lounge during general admission. Children under 7 years old are only permitted during Exclusive Cat Lounge Admission.

Tip: Add your adult admission tickets first to see kid admission availability.

General Cat Lounge Terms:

• Upon entry, and leaving, make sure the first door is completely closed before opening the second so cats do not escape.
• Use hand sanitizer before and after petting the cats.
• Cat lounge time always starts and ends on the hour. If you arrive late that is okay but your hour will end at the end of the scheduled booking.
• Do not wake a sleeping cat. (Soft pets and photos, no flash, are fine)
• Do not pick up cats. (Unless they sneak into the double doorway, please help them safely back into the cat lounge.)
• Do not use your fingers or toes to play with cats, pull on, push, or chase a cat.
• No outside food or treats are allowed, for human or cat consumption.
• Do not feed cats any human food or drinks. Make sure to watch any food/beverage you bring into the room and take it out with you as well. (We sell a certain amount of cat treats for purchase each day, ask if there are some available when you check in.)

Extra Reminders For Kids:

• Do not touch the cat food or water!
• Do not climb on the furniture. Furniture is for butts, NOT feet.
• Use inside voices.
• No running please.
• Children ages 7 to 10 years old: -- Must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18+) during general admission -- One adult required for every child in this age group. -- Maximum number of children allowed per hour is 5 at the New Hope. It is best to make a reservation if you are bringing kids in this age range.

Important Notice: On your way in please hang up coats and large bags, and remember to leave all pets, at home as they are not permitted in the cat lounge or cafe. Cats may bite and scratch, so please exercise caution while interacting with them. We can’t guarantee the availability of specific cats for adoption at your visit, and appointments are strictly for the booked location; it is the purchaser’s responsibility to confirm the correct location, as appointments cannot be transferred. Failure to follow any rules will result in dismissal without a refund. All payments are final. No refunds, cancellations, or rescheduling are allowed, including for weather. (Yes, snow is common in Minnesota from October to March.) We are open during our regular hours, rain, snow, or shine. Walk-in appointments may be a better option for those seeking more flexibility.

Thank you for helping us keep a safe and enjoyable environment for both guests and cats.

Terms subject to change. A link to all the terms will be provided in your confirmation email after booking.
