Whose cats are they?

The Rescue House

All cats residing in our cat cafe's cat lounge are adoptable rescues from San Diego non-profit The Rescue House. The Rescue House is an all-volunteer non-profit rescue organization dedicated to giving cats & kittens a second chance at life. Every cat adopted from Cat & Craft allows The Rescue House to save another cat from euthanasia from over-crowded and underfunded animal shelters.

Can we adopt a cat?

Adoptions Are Our Goal

As a cat cafe in North County, we want to make an impact on adoptions and animal rescue. Our goal is to adopt out over 1000 cats to qualified applicants in our two year of operation. If your heart and home have space to for one of our foster cats, just ask your cat lounge host (or any C&C team member) for details on adopting.

Kit Kat and Twix Aren't Just for Halloween

November 3, 2025
Someone took us to a shelter when we were so young that we couldn't eat on our own. We were scheduled to be euthanized because the shelter didn't have the around the clock staff to care for us when we went to a foster home with The Rescue House. There, we got the around the clock bottle feeding we needed. And once we got a chance to thrive, we blossomed into the playful and fun pair that we are. You'll find us wandering through the cat lounge, looking for things to get into. We like to play and when we're done with that, we'll find a warm and comfortable spot to relax. Come see us and you'll learn that we have appropriate names because we're so sweet!

Peep Patrols the Cat Lounge with His Mother

October 24, 2025
My mom Ruby Ann was found outside carrying me and my siblings. She came inside to give birth to us, and since that was around Easter, all of the kittens got Easter themed names. Mine is because I like to peep out of beds and caves and because I'm sweet like the candy.  Because my mother lived outside, she likes to kind of find a quiet place to observe things from. But I'm the total opposite. I'm out and about, looking for places to explore and to find friends. And I'm good at it. Come on by and see me, and maybe you'll want to keep my mom and I together.

Alexander is a Unique Cat

October 17, 2025
Hi there. I'm Alexander. I was living in a home where there were too many cats, and none of us were getting fixed. As you can guess, that meant the population of us felines exploded. As the people in the cat room like to say, without the cats being fixed, the 12 cats in the cat room would quickly become 20.  Fortunately for us, The Rescue House was able to come in and take care of things. All of us got the care we needed in order to get a chance to thrive, and that includes getting fixed. For me, it meant I became a special cat. I'm cat number 20,000 for The Rescue House. They're setting a goal of raising $20K by the end of the year on my behalf. Please visit rescuehouse.org to donate and let them know you're doing it in my name. Thanks for supporting The Rescue House. They saved me!

Stay for the Coffee

As a craft coffee shop, we provide space for our community to gather, connect and enjoy hand-crafted coffees, drinks and delicious food. Our coffee shop is really more of a kitchen and living room available for the North County community.


Whether it's a plant-based blueberry muffin from Split Bakehouse or thick-cut multigrain from Bread & Cie used in our 'Avogato Toast', we're proud to source and serve local favorites from North County. The 'craft' in Cat & Craft is a catch-all term for our no-shortcut approach to food and drink.
