We didn’t open in our new location until the last week of May. But three cats from The Cat Cafe still went home during the month. We said goodbye to Jackson, Galaxy and Oatmeal. It definitely got a little less active with out our stubby tailed black and white boys chasing each other around and…
It’s been a while, but we’re glad to say that The Cat Cafe is back! Those of you who have made reservations know that we’ll be fully open at our new location at 302 Island Avenue starting Monday, May 24. And we’re glad to be able to tell everyone that we’ll be open for coffee…
February was an interesting month for us at The Cat Cafe. We waited patiently for the City to evaluate our plans for the new space and waited again while our architect completed the more than 100 revisions they demanded. Despite this delay, we did what we could do without those permits to get the space…
While we’re not happy with the slow pace of the permitting process, which has taken six weeks at this point, one thing that’s happening at a much better pace is sending cats home. Over the months of December 2020 and January 2021, The Cat Cafe sent 36 cats home. Normally, we tell you which cats…
Those of you who have followed The Cat Cafe know that we’ve been at our current location at 472 3rd Avenue since we started our initial build out in October 2014. Our location has worked well for us but the pandemic, while presenting a huge challenge, also provided us with an opportunity to upgrade our…
It hasn’t been a good year for business at The Cat Cafe. Losing three months due to the initial stay at home order and nine months worth of conventions, including Comic-Con, makes that impossible. However, it has been a good year for adopting out cats from The Rescue House. In November, 14 cats found homes….
October brings shorter days and falling temperatures as well as Halloween. Even with a pandemic, that doesn’t change. And it’s fitting that in the month with Halloween, three of the ten cats we sent to good homes were black cats. We will miss Reptar, Timothy, Ollie, Lilo, Dandy Lion, Calliope, Tefiti, Solecito, Simone and Scott….
Normally in September, we start to wind things down after the busy summer season. However, we’re still dealing with Covid, which meant we actually continued to get busier. It’s a strange world we live in these days. Still, we sent six cats to good homes in September. We enjoyed spending time with Avery, Abigail, Ross,…
In August, we had to adapt our operations to comply with the latest public health order modifications from the County of San Diego. We’re glad our visitors accepted those modifications and continued to adopt cats. We sent 13 cats from The Rescue House home in August. We’ll miss seeing Raffy, Billy, Desi, Mika, Patty Smith,…
Pre-pandemic, July would be a relatively slow month for adoptions at The Cat Café. With us losing essentially one week to do adoptions due to Comic-Con, while the number of visitors jumps, the number of adoptions usually declines. That didn’t happen this year. Because that week was available for adoptions, we sent nine cats to…
June was our first month back at The Cat Cafe after being shut down for 10 weeks due to Covid 19. We were happy to be back, and to have customers visit us once again. And we’re glad we were able to allow people to interact with the cats and get to know them like…
As you know, because of COVID-19, The Cat Cafe has been closed since March 17, 2020. It’s been a long two months without visitors even with us being able to continue to work with The Rescue House to send cats home. We’ve done more than a dozen adoptions since we closed and that’s something we’re…
