FAQ

What is a cat cafe?

  • A cat cafe is a place where you can get your caffeine fix and cat fix at the same time. Imagine enjoying your morning cup of coffee and crossword puzzle while a cat looks on next to you. Or catching up with friends after work, petting cats as you unwind. Maybe you need a quiet place to finish your history paper, with a new friend sitting next to you, rhythmically purring.
     

Can you have food and cats together?

  • Yes! Food and food prep cannot be intermingled – but food and drink for consumption is allowed in the cat lounge. You can enjoy all our cafe items as soon as you check-in.
     

Why is there a fee to visit the cats? And what is the fee?

  • Running a facility to house rescue cats is expensive, and the fee is our main source of funding! We charge a fee to maintain quality of care for our feline residents, to pay for overhead costs like rent and electricity, and to take care of our staff. Our fee is $15 per person for a 50-minute session. 
     

Do you HAVE to have a reservation to visit?

  • It’s not required but we highly recommend it. Walk-ins are always welcome as space permits. If you want 100% certainty that you don’t have to wait in line, it is best to make a reservation. We recommend booking at least one day before you would like to visit to ensure your spot when you arrive!
     

What if I’m allergic to cats?

  • Not a problem! We have a full-service café with bar seating and a great view of the Cat Lounge through our large windows!
     

Can I bring my own cat?

  • Kindly leave your kitty at home. All our cats arrive with a clean bill of health and are socialized to the environment for the comfort of both the kitties and our guests.  We have plenty of them here for you to pet and cuddle!
     

How are you helping cats?

  • Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable space for people to enjoy the company of our adorable cats. The cats get to live and play freely instead of being caged in a shelter environment. They hang out with their fellow cats and get comfortable with all the humans who come to visit them. 
     

Do you have an age policy?

  • Yes, ages 6 and up. Children under 12 must be with an adult. One adult per 2 children. Children under 6 are still welcome to view the cats from the cafe window and can come to the childrens story time sessions.

​

I fell in LOVE with a cat I met at the cafe. Can I adopt them?

  • Yes! All the cats at the cafe are adoptable through Protectors of Animals. Just let us know the kitty you want to give a home for life, and complete an adoption application online at, How To Adopt A Pet - Pet Adoption Connecticut | Protectors of Animals (poainc.org) ,wait for it to be approved and you can pick up your special kitty right here at the café after you have your adoption appointment at POA! 
     

What should I expect when I get there?

  • When it’s time to visit, come to the cafe side to check-in. We’ll make sure we have your reservation and waivers signed in our system. After that, you can purchase something to eat or drink, and stand by the window to watch the cats while you wait for your reservation time. To enter the cat lounge, you will exit the cafe and go through another entrance to enter the cat lounge. (We have completely separated our cafe side from the cat lounge side in order to abide by health regulations – which also means two separate entrances!)
     

Can I have a party there?

  • Not yet but soon! Birthday? Bachelorette party? Reunion? Wedding? Graduation? Retirement? Team Building! Whatever the occasion, our kitties would love to help you celebrate. Please email us at marciesangelscatcafe@gmail.com  for pricing and additional information.
