Temporarily Closed
We’re sorry to let you know that the cat lounge at Mew Haven will be temporarily closed. Some of our cats are being treated for ringworm, a fungal infection of the hair and skin, similar to athlete's foot. In order for them to get better, as well as to prevent any new arrivals from contracting it, we unfortunately have to take an extended break.
The cats at Mew Haven are our number one priority, and we do everything we can to ensure the best possible living environment for them. In this case, it means that any affected cats will be quarantined at the shelter and we will be performing a deep cleaning of our entire space. Ringworm is transmitted through contact, and both cats and people can get it. Contact with ringworm fungus does not always result in an infection; however, we are taking every precaution to thoroughly disinfect our cat lounge.
We are working on a reopening date (sometime within the next couple of weeks), but in the meantime, our cafe will be open Tuesday - Sunday, 11am - 6pm for coffee, baked goods, and cat-themed merchandise.
We thank you for your patience and for understanding. We will keep you updated!

About our yoga instructor: Kristin Longenecker has been practicing yoga for over 10 years; she earned a 200 hour RYT certification in 2016 from Balance Yoga in NJ and has been teaching ever since. More than anything, Kristin believes in teaching people and not poses. She loves encouraging and motivating students by bringing a light, fun energy into her classes and helping people find joyful movement in their bodies. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, spending time with her husband and cats, sharing great food and craft beer, and watching pro football. She is thrilled at the opportunity to combine two of her favorite things - cats and yoga - at Mew Haven Cat Cafe!
