The Cafe

come for the coffee, stay for the cats

Our space is split into two sections: the cafe and the cat lounge.

  • The Cafe: Entry into the cafe is free, with no cats. In the cafe, you will find our order counter, plenty of seating, and restrooms similar to a regular coffee shop. Journey down the hall, and you will find the entrance to our cat lounge, along with a large picture window for viewing!

  • The Cat Lounge: There is a nominal cost to enter the cat lounge, which helps us cover the cost of care for our adoptable rescue kitties during their time with us. Here, you will find our cats, comfy seating, and a relaxing environment.

Visiting the Cat Lounge

You may pre-book time in the cat lounge online through our website or in person at the order counter. Visits are 50 minutes and begin at the top of the hour. A team member will meet you at the entrance to the cat lounge to ensure you have signed your waiver and reviewed the ground rules and then welcome you into the cat lounge! Prices vary from weekdays to weekends.

The Atmosphere

We seek to provide a respite from the daily hustle and bustle by creating a peaceful and relaxing environment for our guests and cats. At Wired Whisker, you will find cozy seating areas, hear soothing music, and be among others looking for a sanctuary with chill vibes.

The Cats

All cats in our cat lounge are from animal rescues, looking for loving homes. Each cat has a unique personality and is monitored by experienced staff and volunteers to ensure the social setting of a cat cafe is the best fit for that cat. You may see cats popping in and out of a staff-only room, which is called the Decompression Room. Here, our cats can retreat to a quieter setting should they feel overstimulated by our visitors. This room is open to the cats 24/7, allowing them to come and go on their terms.

Age Restrictions inside the Cat Lounge

The safety of our cats and visitors is our utmost priority and age restrictions allow us to honor our commitment to providing a safe and stress-free environment for rescue cats spending time inside the lounge. The unpredictable movements of young children (no fault of their own) can cause distress for felines, and while we are sure that your children are the exception, we must be consistent in our terms. We have a beautiful viewing window with seating for our younger visitors to enjoy. Our local rescue partner, Animal Allies Humane Society, does not have an age restriction to visit adoptable cats and kittens in their cat rooms, and we highly recommend giving them a visit if you are looking for a child-friendly animal interaction environment.

  • General Admission is 12+: General admission into the cat lounge is strictly for guests aged 12 and up. We understand that some may wish to supervise their younger children, but for the safety and comfort of our cats, all guests must be at least 12 years old, regardless of adult supervision. Our younger visitors have been enjoying our viewing window outside the cat lounge that looks in on all of the cat-tivities. For 8-11 year old’s, please see our Exclusive Cat Lounge visit.

  • Ages 12-16: Please note that children aged 12-16 must always be accompanied by an adult (18+) in the lounge. An adult must have a corresponding booking to supervise.

  • Exclusive Cat Lounge Admission is 8+ (private booking for your party): Exclusive Cat Lounge visits are for children aged 8+ with a limited number of 8-11 year old children per hour, and at least one 18+ adult for every two, 8-11 year old’s.

  • Children under the age of 8 are not admitted into the cat lounge at any time.

  • Infants and babies are not allowed inside the cat lounge, even when held.

Food and Drinks

While the cats are the stars, the cafe part of our business will not be forgotten! You can expect a full coffee and beverage menu as well as baked goods and snacks. Drinks and food items purchased at Wired Whisker are allowed in the cat lounge, but keep your muffins close in hand as cats may be interested. Feeding the cats human food or cat food/treats is not allowed. Our cats are well fed with closely monitored and portioned feedings to ensure their health and well-being! Outside food is not allowed anywhere inside Wired Whisker.

Tips for Your Visit

  • General Admission: Admission into the cat lounge is 12+. Visitors under 8 years old are not allowed into the cat lounge. This includes infants and babies. Our younger visitors have been enjoying our viewing window into the cat lounge!

  • Book in advance: While walk-ins are welcome, we strongly recommend booking your visit online to ensure availability.

  • Respect the cats’ space: When visiting our cat lounge, follow the ground rules, be gentle, and heed a cat’s body language. If a cat walks away, it is best to let them be.

  • Capture the moments: We want you to take as many photos and videos of our adorable cats as you like (and tag us! @wiredwhisker); however, please ensure your flash is turned off, as this can disturb the cats.

We hope your visit combines relaxation with the joy of interacting with cats. Who knows…you might just find your next family member! Whether you’re a cat enthusiast or just looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon, visiting Wired Whisker will surely be a memorable outing. So, sip back and enjoy your new feline hosts' comforting purrs and playful antics.
