Story

Feline Café is a coffee shop for cat lovers. Whether you are looking for a calm space to unwind, you want to help cats in need or even if you're thinking of adopting. You'll love the cozy space where you can interact with these lovely rescue cats. It is a calm and happy space where you can get some purr-therapy and potentially find your new family member.

We are a cause-focused business, which means that our business operates in order to support the cats that we foster. With the profits, we are able to pay for housing, food and supplies for these cats that are looking for their forever home. This in turn supports the rescue and their work. Our platform - a cat café - provides them with a full-time foster home where we house the cats, as well as fundraising efforts to pay for their care.

The goal is to provide a calm and happy living space for these cats while we help them find their forever homes. The health of the cats are a top priority and for this reason we have a few rules to follow:

To enter the cat area:

Purchase or donate at the counter (per person)
Read our rules and etiquette list
Use hand sanitizer before interacting with the cats
Enjoy your visit!

Rules and Etiquette:
- No children under 12 years old allowed in the cat area during regular business hours. Families are always welcome to stay and enjoy watching from the café side seating.
- We have a capacity of 10 visitors at a time in the cat area as to not overwhelm the cats. During peak hours, we enforce a 20-min maximum time visit to make sure everyone gets a chance to visit the cats.
- The cats can be shy and may want some privacy. Please be respectful of their space and needs. Do not wake up sleeping cats. Do not pick up cats or prevent them from walking away.
- You may bring any food or beverage purchases in the cat area with you. Please remember to bring your dishes back to the café dish tray afterwards.
- Please do not let the cats steal your treats. Food from the café is for humans only!
- Pet at your own risk. Use caution and slow motions.

I've been to the feline cafe a few times. It has always been a wonderful experience, the drinks are always delicious and the cats have a really fun place to play. If I were a rescue cat, I'd want to live here! I tried the food for the first time today, it was delicious. I just have so many lovely things to say about this place!

My wife and I visited yesterday for the first time after having seen the cafe's social media posts and we had such an amazing experience. The concept is brilliant and everyone there seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the furry company. We had the chance to play with some of the kittens and cats and it was so much fun while enjoying a hot chocolate and some baked goods. I would highly recommend the paw lemon cookie and the cinnamon bun, absolutely delicious. Thank you, Feline Cafe!

Great, friendly cats. You can tell the staff take good care of them. They also have created cool hangout spots for the cats! However, I agree with the other reviewers in saying that it doesn't have a "cafe" vibe. It has more of a cool pet shop vibe. Improvements needed in decor and space use.

I'm so happy a cat cafe finally opened here! The coffee is awesome, and everything is vegan. I go in the mornings when it is not busy, so I find it really relaxing. I've heard the afternoons can be very busy, so try to go in the mornings if you can! My only complaint is that the colour scheme is very neutral (grey/white/black), which I find very bland. The one is Montreal is much more colourful, which makes for a more enjoyable environment. But that's just a personal opinion. Overall, great experience!

Pretty good place although I will say, the food portions were small and overpriced. The system they have in place for seeing the cats is terrible. There is a lot of room for improvement. I would suggest having a next number go in system similar to the way deli counter system works, I believe that would make it more effective and efficient so that the staff wouldn't have to keep track of who goes in next. The cats were amazing and did not disappoint. They clearly take good care of them and the cats are available for adoption. Overall, would definitely go back. I think this place, once it finds it's groove, will be even better.
