Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Fill out the foster application linked on the site. Rescue staff check your references, your landlord, and your vet, then email you when you are approved..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
Le Cat Café is the rescue's adoption program, where you can spend time with adoptable cats on Girard Avenue. The rescue calls itself not a shelter: its cats live with volunteer foster homes, and the cafe is where you meet them. The site does not give the visit length or fee, so ask before you go.
Tips for your first visit
- Street parking is on Girard Avenue, so bring quarters for the meter or use the meterUP app.
- The cafe is closed on Wednesdays, so check the hours before you go.
- The site does not say whether children are welcome at the cafe, so ask before you go.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The home page says cafe visits are by appointment, and the foster page names a clear first step. Fostering needs an approved application..
