You will all check in together in person!
If you will be present during your childrens' visit, then you'll all sign waivers in person and check in together. The other information for visiting with kids is below, including if they are bringing a friend whose parent would not be present.
The Catfé is a coffee shop environment, which is quieter and targeted for adults, to keep the stress levels as low as possible for the cats in our care. However, many kids and families enjoy spending time with the kitties and each other! We allow parents to use their discretion on if their child would enjoy the cat lounge and be able to follow the rules and guidelines below. Please read all the information below before booking. We can't offer refunds or allow rescheduling within 24 hours of a booking.
AGES | Kids must be at least 5 years of age. Groups may bring one child who is not a member of their immediate family but they must be over 5 years old. Since we have limited space in the cat lounge, people of all ages must have a space reserved.
ACTIVITIES | We have cat toys in the lounge but bringing your own activities is a great idea! Coloring or reading books are great ways to spend time together and with the kitties!
WAIVERS | You'll sign a waiver in person for your children visiting with you. The online waivers are only for unaccompanied minors. There is more information below about if your kids want to bring a friend!
BRINGING FRIENDS | Parents may only bring one child who is not their legal minor at a time. The legal parent or guardian of the guest must sign a waiver in advance, which can be found online by clicking here.
BIRTHDAYS & EVENTS | Submit an event inquiry to learn about scheduling a birthday party in the cat lounge.
RULES & GUIDELINES | Keeping the lounge stress free for the kitties is our top priority. To accomplish this, we ask people to follow the following behavior guidelines:
Use quiet voices, move slowly, and play or pet gently.
Let kitties come to you, instead of chasing them.
Let sleeping kitties stay asleep. It can startle them to be woken up suddenly.
Take plenty of photos! Just keep the flash off so it doesn't hurt their eyes.
Do not pick up the kitties. This helps us keep their stress levels low, as some of them do not like being picked up or carried around. If a kitty wants to sit on your lap, that is no problem. Let them decide what sort of interactions they would like to have!
Do not let the kitties eat any human food. It makes them very sick.
Be respectful to the other guests and don't invade their space. They are here to have a nice visit with the kitties too.
