House Rules

​

All rules are meant to allow everyone - cats and humans alike - to have a great time.
Please note, we reserve the right to ask guests to leave if they do not follow the rules or are disruptive.
 

1. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when you enter the cat lounge.

2. Eating will be allowed while you are seated. Please do not allow the cats to eat your food.

3. The Lounge is geared more for older kids - ages 5 and  up please. 

4. Picking up cats: Please ask the staff before picking up the cats. Some may not like being picked up and prefer to play.

5. Watch the doors. When entering or exiting, one door must be closed at all times to ensure the cats stay inside. Please let staff know when you are leaving so they can help look out for escape artists.

6. 50-minute cat visits: Cat lounge visits are 50 minutes long, so that we have time to clean between  sessions.

7. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have come into contact with someone with COVID-19, please reschedule your visit.

General cat etiquette:

1. Be gentle with the cats. Please don't chase cats. If they walk away after you pet them, they are done being petted. Not all cats like being picked up, so please ask the cat lounge attendant first.

2. Cats get scared easily! Please no running, jumping, stomping, throwing, or yelling.

3. Cats sleep a lot. Please don't wake the cats, but give them lots of pets for happy dreams.

4. Take lots of pictures! But please no flash.

5. Children 12 years old and under must be accompanied by an adult. There should be an adult per two children. We ask that adults and children are together when they meet and interact with our cats. Please note that guardians are responsible for the actions of their minors and should make sure they follow the rules.
