Catpurrccinos

Catpurrccinos, operated by Feral to Family Cat & Kitten Rescue, is a unique dual-space establishment combining a coffee shop and separate cattery where the two areas function independently yet complementarily. Visitors can enjoy craft food and beverages in the coffee shop while admiring cats through large observation windows, making the space accessible for people with allergies or non-cat preferences. Cat lovers pay an additional fee (100% donated to rescue) to enter the cattery vestibule, picturing a living room environment with chairs, benches, tables, televisions, relaxation seating, and adoption hub functionality. The cattery houses approximately 50 adoptable cats and kittens in a spacious, clean environment featuring mobile veterinary visits overseeing wellness, dedicated medical attention and isolation rooms, entertainment televisions for both cats and humans, and abundant enrichment resources. Entry costs $13 per person per hour and provides genuine living-space ambiance rather than sterile shelter surroundings.

Feral to Family Cat & Kitten Rescue began in October 2016 when the founding family rescued a young black kitten from a feral colony, sparking realization of rescue importance. By spring 2017, they began trapping, vetting, and finding homes independently. In February 2018, the organization officially became 501(c)(3) nonprofit. By 2019, rescue costs exceeded available resources despite caring for over 90 cats, prompting creation of Catpurrccinos to sustain operations without reducing lives saved. The cafe serves multiple purposes: funding rescue efforts, creating welcoming adoption-focused spaces, spreading awareness about rescue importance, and building compassionate community. Adoption applications are completed through individual animal profiles, with applications only reviewed after in-person meetings, followed by staff evaluation and home visits. The adoption process emphasizes careful matching and ongoing support for successful long-term placements.

Reviewers describe Catpurrccinos as exceptionally friendly with knowledgeable, kind, and helpful staff providing thorough rule explanations and personalized cat recommendations. Color-coded cat collars indicate friendliness levels, helping visitors identify appropriate animals for their comfort level. Visitors consistently mention the high quality of both cats and beverages, with specific praise for pomegranate lemonade, tiramisu, pastries, and hot breakfast options. The spacious layout provides plenty of room to relax with cats without feeling crowded. Multiple visitors note being distracted by cats during designated hours, resulting in post-visit food consumption. The approximately 50 cats represent diverse personalities, with visitors rarely encountering the same cats between visits. Staff enthusiasm about the rescue mission and genuine animal care creates experiences that inspire visitors to return repeatedly, recommend the cafe to family and friends, and seriously consider adoption from the rescue. The integration of excellent craft beverages, quality food, friendly atmosphere, and passionate rescue work transforms a simple coffee visit into compelling animal welfare support.
