Mew Haven Cat Cafe

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!

What's a cat cafe?

cat cafe noun. a business establishment that has numerous cats available for customers to play with, usually at an hourly rate, and often offers food and drinks.

A cat cafe is a place where you can get your caffeine fix and cat fix at the same time. Imagine enjoying your morning cup of coffee and crossword puzzle while a cat looks on next to you. Or catching up with friends after work, petting cats as you unwind. Maybe you need a quiet place to finish your history paper, with a new friend sitting next to you, rhythmically purring.

A cat cafe is the cats' foster home. It's a safe place for them to stay until they are adopted. And while they're here, they're being socialized: living and playing with their fellow cats, and also learning about all the humans who come to visit them.

So while the cats are learning about you, you're learning about them. A cat cafe is the next level of adoption. You can meet and get to know your cat friends and their personalities before deciding to adopt them into your family.

Cats. Coffee. Community.

How does it work?

We work with a shelter called The Animal Haven to identify cats that would enjoy living in a cat cafe.

Cats explore the cafe, fellow cat roommates, and friendly human attendants, and decide it's a nice place to stay for a while.

You come to visit, grab your favorite cafe drink, and make new furry friends, eager for some pets and playtime.

Want to welcome your new friend into the family? Great! All of our cats are adoptable from The Animal Haven.
