Big news everyone!! We are now open again for business! Here are the details:
Safety Precautions:
To come see the kitties, you WILL need an appointment. We will not be accepting any walk-ins at this time. Also, only one group/appointment will be allowed in the room at a time. You must be on time for your appointment--if you're running very late or need to cancel, please call us so we can make adjustments. We're trying to keep interactions between groups to a minimum in an effort to keep everyone safe!
You MUST wear a mask to come into the shop and go into the cat room.
We also ask that you wash your hands before entering the cat room AND after leaving.
These precautions are for the safety of our staff, but also for your own safety! We want to keep things as safe as possible so that you all can see the kitties again, but no one will get sick. And rest assured, we will be thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting throughout the day as well. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to reach out!
Also, if you still feel safer staying home, but miss the kitties, we've started a Twitch livestream of the cat room so you can watch them from afar and get some cat therapy from a distance!
On another note, as you might know, the money we get in from daily sales is how we keep the lights on and keep the kitties fed and comfortable. And no doubt, even as we re-open, with having to limit the amount of people who can come in, it's going to hurt us financially. We hate to ask, but we could truly use your help right now. We have shirts and other merch available for purchase here on our website. We also have gift cards available that you could use when we re-open. And if you’re able and willing to donate we do have our Patreon and a PayPal as well. And if you'd like to send the kitties some extra love, we also have an Amazon wishlist to send treats and toys! These are difficult times and though it’s hard to ask for help, sometimes we have to. Thank you all for your love and support. We couldn't be pushing through this without you.
