what is a cat cafe?

A cat cafe is a cozy, inviting space where guests can enjoy food and drinks while spending time with friendly resident cats. Unlike traditional cafes, cat cafes offer a designated lounge area where you can relax, socialize, and interact with cats in a calm, comfortable environment. Cat cafes create a unique experience for cat lovers, providing a peaceful atmosphere to unwind and connect with these wonderful animals. At cat cafe vibrissae, we combine delicious drinks and snacks with quality time among our beloved cats for a truly one-of-a-kind visit.

While walk-ins are welcome, we recommend making a reservation to guarantee your spot, especially on weekends or holidays. You can easily request a reservation through our website. A member of our staff will contact you to confirm your booking.

No, for the health and comfort of both our resident cats and guests, we do not allow outside animals in the cafe.

Yes, for the safety of our cats and younger guests, children must be at least 3 years old to enter the cat lounge. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

These age guidelines help ensure safe interactions, as younger children may not fully understand how to respect the cats' boundaries, and we aim to create a calm environment that keeps our cats comfortable.

We ask guests not to pick up the cats to respect their comfort. You’re welcome to pet and interact with them if they approach you, but please let them initiate contact.

Adopting a cat is a wonderful way to bring a furry friend into your home and family. Not only do cats make great companions, but adopting can also save a life and help reduce the number of homeless cats. When you adopt a cat, you are giving them a second chance at a happy life. Many cats have been abandoned, lost, or surrendered by their previous owners. By providing a loving home, you can help them overcome their past and thrive in a new environment. We encourage you to consider adoption when looking for a new pet.

When choosing a cat to adopt, there are a few things to consider. First, think about your lifestyle and the type of cat that would be a good fit. Some cats are more active and playful, while others are more laid-back and affectionate. Consider any allergies or health conditions you or a family member may have. Once you've found the right cat, the adoption process usually involves filling out an application, meeting the cat, and possibly a home visit. Adoption fees vary but often include spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, and other medical care.

Since opening our doors in 2021, we’ve dedicated our lives to making Cat Cafe Vibrissae an enjoyable experience for both our visitors and our kitties. The rules are in place to ensure the safety, well-being, and positive experience of both our visitors and resident cats. These rules are designed to prioritize the welfare of our feline friends, promote a safe environment for visitors, manage behavior, and maintain hygiene and sanitation standards. By following these rules, we can create a harmonious and enjoyable experience for all, while providing a nurturing and comfortable space for visitors to connect with our feline companions responsibly and respectfully.

Yes, to ensure the well-being of our resident cats, we charge an entry fee for the cat lounge. This fee helps cover the costs of food, medical care, and enrichment activities for the cats.

Our cats receive regular veterinary care, nutritious food, and a stimulating environment. We work closely with our veterinarian ensure they stay healthy and happy.

Absolutely! Our cafe area is open to everyone, and you’re welcome to enjoy our food and drinks without an entry fee. Access to the cat lounge does require a separate entry fee.

We recommend that guests with mild cat allergies take necessary precautions (such as taking allergy medication beforehand). Our cafe area is separate from the cat lounge, so you can still enjoy food and drinks without entering the lounge.
