A cafe that exists because the lounge does
We started as a foster home with too many cats and a landlord asking questions. The lounge came first; the coffee counter came later, once it was clear that a room full of people who love cats will happily pay for a cup while they wait for a seat.
Health code keeps food preparation and cats in separate rooms, full stop, so the counter and kitchen sit on the other side of a solid door from the lounge - no cat has ever set a paw past it, and no drink or pastry ever comes into the lounge with you. You carry it in, you finish it, or you leave it at the door - staff will hold it.
Every resident comes to us through Willowbrook Paws Rescue, our partner for six years now. We are not a shelter and we do not take in animals directly from owners - we give rescue cats a calm room to be seen in while they wait for the right home.
