It’s finally time to announce our re-opening, and we are so looking forward to seeing each of your smiling faces again!
Much change is occurring in our culture at this moment in time and change is often uncomfortable – it can bring with it many challenging emotions and opinions.
In light of these times we believe our purpose & mission is needed now more than ever – to help us all come together and connect over the commonalities that we share – a love for animals, and a desire for the people of this World to experience more peace, more joy and more happiness.
We’ve taken our time preparing for this re-opening in order to be certain we can meet all state and county guidelines as required.
Therefore, we ask that you please read carefully before making any plans to visit – even if it’s just for a cup of coffee.
MODIFIED OPERATIONS
In order to meet remaining state and county guidelines, we’ve had to implement a few changes to our operations, and have chosen to take a phased approach to re-opening.
Shortened Days & Hours of Operation
WED – SUN
9:00am – 3:00pm
Capacity Has Been Reduced
• 8 people in the Cat Lounge
• Group size no larger than 4 people
Special Activities Postponed
This includes Kiddie Cat hour, Craft Night, Paint Night and Cat Yoga
Face Coverings + Cleaning
All of our employees will be wearing face coverings throughout their shifts, along with obsessively disinfecting surfaces and washing hands.
Purrvisions Offerings
We will continue certain items in our Purrvisions Shop, and we will reinstate our to-go beverages, pastries and toast plates.
PLANNING YOUR VISIT
- If you feel sick or have any symptoms of illness please stay home.
- Social distancing rules apply. All individuals and/or groups must remain six feet apart from other individuals and/or groups.
- Guest group size is currently limited to four (4) people.
- Max capacity for the Cat Lounge is temporarily reduced to eight (8) guests per hour.
- All guests must be in a seat while onsite, the state is not allowing guests to stand. If you are not in a seat, you must have your face covering on. That goes for ordering, waiting, and bathroom breaks.
- If you want to visit with the cats PLEASE reserve your spot online in advance. With a reduced headcount in the Cat Lounge, this ensures you won’t be disappointed if you arrive and there are no available spots.
- As always, no reservations needed if just enjoying the coffee shop.
CHILDREN
• Our age requirement is 7 years or older for all Cat Lounge sessions.
• We will reinstate Kiddie Cat hours for children 6 & younger once the social distancing requirements are lifted.
• If you choose to bring your children to the coffee shop to watch the cats through the window, you must be responsible for maintaining their 6 foot distance from other guests.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Special events such as craft nights, cat yoga, and movie nights will be reinstated once social distancing guidelines are lifted.
FINAL THOUGHTS
We hope you have remained safe and healthy during this time apart, and even though we can’t give out hugs just yet know that many air hugs will be waiting for you when you visit.
For all of you who stood by us and supported us during our temporary closure with a Cat Pass membership, Purrvisions order, Cat & Craft Co merchandise order, or Virtual Cat Lounge Experience subscription, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Your support allowed for over 100 cats and kittens to be adopted …our minds are still blown.
The cats – and our staff – missed you greatly!
With Love and Light,
Caroline

P.S. If you have any cold brew / chai bottles from a Purrvisions order, bring’em in and we’ll take a buck off anything you order (refills, food, etc.) for each bottle you exchange.
I just heard an acquaintance of mine is needing to find a home for bonded pair of 8 yo cats…. I distressed for them because I worry about what will happen to them. Does LYFF assist with animals needing homes?
Please contact LYFF rescue as we cannot speak on their behalf.
Hi,
I wish I had a phone number for you, but instead I’m emailing you as I’ve saved your publication from the 01/20/19 article in the San Diego Union Tribune specifically for the taking my daughter to tour Cat Cafe and Crafts for a surprise on her birthday this Wednesday, July 1st. I’d like to make a reservation now for the two of us to visit with the cats at 11:00 a.m. and following that have some coffee and food together in your cafe.
If at all possible, could you please confirm this reservation with me: Sally Navarro – phone or text (480) 274-7970 – or email: sallynav@icloud.com
I’d be ever so grateful as we live in San Diego, & it will be a bit of a drive. My hope is to avoid the disappointment of your being closed on that date or the time slots we’ve requested already filled.
I look forward to your reply before Wed. 07/01 in order to make by daughter’s birthday surprise visit to your Cat Cafe as smooth and FUN as possible! We, too of course, are CAT LOVERS!
Sincerely
Sally Navarro
Our phone number and reservation system is on our website. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
