Meet The Cat Cafe Clowder
All of the cats living a The Cat Cafe San Diego are adoptable!
Looking for your fur-ever friend?

I may not have a braided chain made of finest silver from the north of Spain, but I'm definitely a fine girl. Unlike the girl in the song, I had a tough start to my life. I lived with someone who was barely able to care for herself, and she knew she had to give me up when I got pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn kitten. Some of the rest of them didn't make it, but thanks to The Rescue House, some of them did. Now that my kittens are ready to live their own life, I'm ready for a happy life on my own. As you'd suspect from a cat that lived outside, I love playing with mouse toys. After all, it's how I got to eat! Now I'm inside, I like to observe what's happening around the home when I play with them and love hearing about how cute it is. Come visit me and see if you decide I'm a fine enough girl for you to want to take me home.

Howdy, everyone. I've hunkered down here at The Cat Cafe for a long time. I've become friends with all of the cats who have been here since I arrived in the spring as well as the people. But I'd love to find a home of my own. Give me that home, where there's another active and playful cat, and I will quickly become friends with them. Every single cat I've interacted with becomes friends with me. I'm enjoying my time here, but I'd sure like to stroll onto a bed in a home of my own.

I was here for a while but when I went to get a dental, the doctors discovered that my teeth needed more work than they thought initially. I went back to a foster home to recover, and when that happened, I came back to the clowder. It didn't take much time for me to start getting back to my active ways. You can see I've scaled the eight foot palm here and I'm looking for the toy that lured me to the top to come back so I can attack it. My ears will always be too big for my head and my tail will be too long for my body. I think it's cute. How about you?
Cat Facts

The Rescue House doesn't know how I ended up in a colony of cats that were being fed, but what they do know is that my time there resulted in me getting a cauliflower ear due to the fights I got into. And that wasn't the worst of it. I injured my leg so badly that the doctors decided it was better to remove it. Despite all of this, I love getting chin scratches and pets. And when I get to know you, I'll follow you around. When I do that, you'll see that I may have one less leg than most cats, but I get around just fine. Come see me and maybe you'll decide that my battle scars are what makes me the perfect cat for you.

There’s nothing quite like the cozy, calming vibe of a cat café—purring cats, the gentle aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and a laid-back space that feels like a little slice of heaven. But what if you could bring that peaceful café magic into your own home? Whether you're a devoted cat parent or just dreaming of those cat café vibes between visits to Cat & Craft, we’ve got the ultimate DIY guide to help you create the perfect at-home cat café experience. Let’s blend your love for cats and coffee into a relaxing ritual that you (and your feline friends) can enjoy every day. ☕ Step 1: Set the Mood with a Coffee Ritual Cat cafés are as much about the coffee as they are about the cats. Here’s how to elevate your home-brew game: Upgrade Your Brew Method Choose a method that fits your style and brings you joy—whether it’s a pour-over, French press, AeroPress, or espresso machine. The process of making your coffee can be a soothing part of your morning ritual. Pro Tip: Support local! Buy small-batch or locally roasted beans to recreate that café-quality flavor at home. Create a Coffee Station Designate a cute corner or cart for your coffee gear. Include: Your favorite mug(s) A jar of beans or grounds Brewing tools A small plant or framed quote for ambiance A sprinkle of cat-themed decor, naturally 🐾 Try a Café-Inspired Drink Menu Recreate some café classics—or invent your own feline-themed brews! Purr-over Coffee Mew-chiato (Macchiato with a touch of vanilla) Catpuccino (Cappuccino with cinnamon) Kitten Cold Brew (Cold brew with a splash of oat milk) Make it a weekend treat to experiment with different flavors, syrups, or latte art (even if it’s just a heart that vaguely looks like a paw print). 🐱 Step 2: Make Your Home a Cat Paradise Your cat deserves the VIP lounge experience too! Here’s how to create an enriching and comfortable environment they’ll love to hang out in—especially while you sip your coffee nearby. Design a Cozy Cat Corner Choose a sunny window or quiet space to create a chill-out zone for your cat: Add a soft blanket or bed Place a scratching post or cardboard scratcher nearby Use a window perch or shelf to give them a view of the outside world Tuck in a few favorite toys or even a tunnel for variety Bonus: Add a diffuser with pet-safe calming scents (like lavender or chamomile) for a spa-like touch. Vertical Space is Key Cats love to climb and observe from above. Install wall-mounted cat shelves, a tall cat tree, or a multi-level condo to give them a sense of ownership over the space. Rotate Toys for Enrichment Just like we get bored of the same TV shows, cats can tire of the same toys. Keep things fresh by rotating a few new toys each week—wand toys, puzzle feeders, and interactive balls can keep them entertained while you sip your brew. 🛋️ Step 3: Set the Vibe The atmosphere of a cat café is warm, peaceful, and inviting—here’s how to bring that same energy to your home: Soft Lighting: Use warm string lights, table lamps, or candles (battery-operated for safety!) to set a cozy mood. Background Music: Create a relaxing playlist of soft jazz, acoustic coffeehouse tunes, or ambient cat café sounds (yes, they exist!). Comfy Seating: Add cushions, throws, or even a floor pouf to make your cat café space cozy for both of you. 📖 Step 4: Unplug and Be Present One of the best parts of visiting a cat café is the chance to slow down and unplug. Make your at-home café experience screen-free, even if it’s just for 20 minutes. Read a book or magazine Journal with your cat curled up beside you Simply sit and sip while watching your cat nap or play This quiet, intentional time is good for your mental health and strengthens your bond with your cat. 🐾 Bonus: Invite a Friend (Human or Feline!) You’re already halfway to a full-blown cat café if you've got multiple cats. You could even host a “Caturday Brunch” with a fellow cat-loving friend—coffee, pastries, and plenty of purrs included. 🏠 Conclusion: Cat Café Vibes, Anytime You Want Recreating the cat café experience at home is easier than you think—and it’s a great way to slow down, appreciate the little things, and spend quality time with your favorite furry companion. Whether it’s a full Sunday morning ritual or a simple weekday coffee break, blending your love of cats and coffee is always a win. Want more inspiration?
