How Much Does It Cost?

​We implement a cat care cover charge for each visitor at £5.00 per Adult and £5.00 per Child per visit. For that price you get an hour of cat time. All food and drink is an additional charge but are reasonably priced from our menu. ​You will be billed ten minutes before your exit time. We do offer a Afternoon Tea at £25 per person which covers your entry and allows 90 mins of cat time. 
​

Do I Have To Book In Advance?

​The cafe is primarily bookings only, however, you’re more than welcome to phone the cafe and check for available slots on the day but we suggest booking in advance to avoid disappointment. . This is to regulate  all customers coming in and out of the cafe at all times for the safety of the cats

Can I Bring My Cat?

No. This is home to our resident cats only.

Can I Bring My Dog?

We do not allow any dogs  into the Cafe. 

Why Should I Visit A Cat Cafe?

This is not just a sanctuary for cats, but for people too. We know that life can be tough sometimes, so we are truly dedicated to making the happiest place in Hampshire for our customers; a warm, exciting, crazy, loving environment for everyone. We are passionate about Animal Therapy and it has been proving that spending time with cats not only reduces your heart rate and blood pressure but is good for mental health. We know the positive impact the Cat Cafe will have on the lives of so many people in Hampshire. Cats do not discriminate on age, sex, physical ability, race, beliefs, or any of that stuff, they just want to share their love with everyone. ​

How Do You Stop The Cats From Escaping?

We operate a double door system, which has a security release on them so one cannot be opened without the other being shut.

Are The Cats Kept In Cages Or Left On Their Own Overnight?

No. Our cats are never kept in cages. The cafe is their home. Much as you would never put your pet cat in a cage at home, we won’t be putting our cats in cages at Cat Cafe. Ever. 

At night there is a member of staff on duty to clean and maintain the cafe as well as giving the cats some much needed one on one attention if need be.

Where Do You Get Your Cats From?

We will work with rehoming centres to see if we can offer any  cats their forever home. We will only ever take in cats that will be happy in our cafe and usually are struggling to find homes elsewhere.

Are You Helping Cats?

Absolutely! Although we do not directly operate as a rescue or rehoming centre, Cat Cafe support local animal charities by running special events to raise money and awareness. Our strong social media presence is used to advertise local rescue cats and kittens who desperately need a forever home. We also take in donations for our local charities such as food, litter and toys. ​

How Do You Ensure The Cats Are Happy & Healthy?

We have a set of Cat Care Rules, which  apply to all guests and are strictly applied in the interest and safety of all our cats. Should these rules be disregarded in anyway we have the right to politely ask you to leave and future re-admittance refused. We also limit the capacity of our cafes to ensure the cats are not overcrowded. 

Our cats will have regular health checks and with our in house cat behaviourist,  behavioural studies will also be carried out regularly on each cat to ensure their behaviour in the cafe demonstrates that of a happy and relaxed cat .
​
Most importantly, we do not force our cats to be in the cafe area. When the cats are in the cafe area they are there out of choice.
