House Rules
No large groups pre-bookings.
We advise if you are booking for 5+ people please email cafe@whiskersandpawscafe.co.uk so we can accommodate you and your party.
Let the cats sleep.
If the cats are sleeping, please respect that. do not stroke them to wake them up, or place toys on them. This includes making noises to wake them.
Do not pick up the cats/restrain them.
They are live animals with their own feelings. Although they are super cute, please do not pick them up as they do not know you.
Don't feed the cats.
The cats might want a sniff of your yummy food but please do not feed them any human food. You can ask our staff for cat treats from our dispenser.
Do not overcrowd the cats.
Please approach the cats one at a time. It can be scary to some when lots of humans are around them!
You're not the paparazzi!
We love it when you take photos of our furry residents, but please do not use the flash as it is very damaging to their eyes.
Our Cat Carers
Our cat carer team members will always be on hand to help you with any question or concern you have. They know what the cats favourite toys are, their personalities and how they liked to be stroked!
If you have a cat at home you may think our cats will like what your cat likes! However, this might not be the case. You are a stranger entering our cafe (and hopefully will become a friend!) so trust is built over time.
Pick your moments to interact with the cats!
Maybe not when they are trying to sleep or eat but be mindful when playing/stroking them. Try to make eye contact with the cat before approaching, then it knows you're coming over!
