Why is there an admission fee for the cat room?

A visit to Right Meow Cat Café is an experience!.

We provide an amazing, cage-free environment for the cats that reside with us and that costs money. The entry fees help cover all of the expenses associated with offering a wonderful foster home to the cats until they get adopted. This includes rent, utilities, insurance, and cat care to name just a few. We charge a typical cat café fee for admission to the cat area to keep our doors open and continue our mission to save cats. Your entry fee and drink purchases make this possible since 100% of all adoption fees go to our rescue partner.

Do I bring my cat?

Sorry...No. For everyone's health, safety, and serenity, personal cats must stay at home. Our café has rescue cats from Facilitate Rescue. These cats want your undivided love and attention. Besides... as much fun as you think it would be, your cat would probably not appreciate a visit anyway.

Where do your cats come from?

All of our cats come from our partner, Facilitate Rescue. Facilitate Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit cat rescue based in Harnett County, North Carolina. With the help of fosters, volunteers and donations, they rescue many cats and kittens each year from the Harnett County Shelter in Lillington, NC. They also take in kittens and cats from the community, when able, and are dedicated to saving cats in danger of euthanasia.

Can I bring my children?

We love kids! To ensure their safety and the safety and serenity of our cats, the age requirement is 6+ during regular business hours except for select ADULTS ONLY Cat Therapy sessions. There MUST be one adult per every two children under the age of 12. Children must be able to follow the rules of the cat rooms.

Parties with minors under 16 years of age must have at least one adult present.

For our youngest cat lovers (0-5), you may book a special "Kid Time" reservation on select Wednesday mornings at 11-11:30. There MUST be one adult for EACH child out of a carrier. This is for the safety of the children and the cats.

What is "Kid Time"?

A special session for our youngest cat lovers 5 and under. This is a special time offered select Wednesday mornings for young children to  come enjoy a half hour of kitties.

There MUST be one adult per EACH child. 

Each adult and child MUST have their OWN ticket.

Exceptions are infants in a carrier that are not crawling or walking.

Booking in advance is highly encouraged.

I found a cat. Can you take it?

Sorry but no. While we wish we have the resources and licenses to do so... we are not a licensed rescue and are unable to take homeless cats/kittens directly. Please contact an area rescue with any found cats or kittens. Our cats/kittens come directly from our partner rescue, Facilitate Rescue. Our age appropriate cats have been vetted and spayed/neutered so that they can be ready for adoption once their Right Meows arrive.

Parking?

While we are blessed with a small parking lot in back dedicated to our cafe, it can get full during evening and weekend hours. We ask customers to carpool whenever possible and please do not use our neighbor's parking lot M-F 8:00-5:00. Thank you!

When should I visit?

It’s ALWAYS a great time to visit and enjoy the café! Please note, the cats are here to live, not to perform. Like all cats, they take a lot of naps, most often in the middle of the day from 12-3:00. We schedule a cat nap time daily for this very reason. If you wish to visit during a time when they are typically more active, consider booking earlier or later in the day.

If you are looking for a session without children, we are now offering sessions for 16 and up Friday and Saturday evenings at 5:00 and 6:00.

Weekend sessions fill up quickly so it is encouraged to book online at least a week in advance.
