Hi Cowrenn, we do wish you had reached out to us, or simply had a look on our website to fact check a few things before jumping to your own conclusions.
Yes, none of our cats are up for adoption, they are the children of myself and my co-owner and partner, and have all been rehomed from situations they could no longer stay in, and we have promised them their forever home. They are happy and settled in their home, and we welcome guests to it to interact with them, and learn about cat care for a vide variety of breeds and needs, as some of our babies have more specific care requirements.
We do not agree with cat cafes that have a “rotation” of cats. Everything we do and have done is in the best interests of our children, and has been done exceptionally slowly to allow them time to adjust and ensure their welfare is put first. Other cat cafes who rehome cats - putting cats who have already been displaced into an unknown area alongside unknown cats and then letting the public in to them, only to then be moved once again if adopted, to us is the very epitome of a very stressful situation for a cat, and not what we endorse.
Yes, we have a few lesser-seen breeds, but this is due to them simply being the cats that are most suited to our environment. We knew the environment we would be putting our cat crew into, so have a criteria for rehoming, which includes never taking an outdoor cat and making it an indoor cat. Most cats that have been kept indoors are more unusual breeds, for their own safety among other reasons, hence how we have so many in our crew. This also allows us to educate our guests on breed-specific care and helps people to make an informed decision on possible rehomes of their own in the future. Only 4 of our 25 residents are “pure” breed with papers, 3 of whom are ex-breeders we have taken on, retired and spayed, and the rest are just fancy looking moggies or undocumented and unlicensed.
We absolutely do not promote breeding. We have no idea where you got that idea but again, a quick search on our website would have told you otherwise. As above, we have 3 ex-breeding queens in our crew, and have additionally had all other members of our crew neutered who did not come to us having already been, which is a considerable number. The only exception to this is our newer introductions, who are already booked in with the vets for their neutering consultations when they reach 6months, then will be neutered when the vets deem them ready.
