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.

Thor Lights Up the Cat Lounge with His Presence

February 9, 2026
My brother and I were eking out a living in Temecula and being cared for by people who sought to get us to an animal welfare organization. When The Rescue House was able to take us in, the people who were helping us jumped at the chance. We got the care we needed to thrive and grow, and now we're inseparable. We have to go home together. And no, my brother's name is not Loki. I'm the calmer one of the two, but get me in the right mood and I'll happily chase a wand toy around for you. Or, sometimes, I just enjoy sitting up high and watching things that are happening in the lounge.  Come by and meet me. Maybe you'll decide my home is the place my brother and I belong.

Meet Smokey's Bonded Brother Smitty

January 30, 2026
Hi there! You recently met my brother Smokey. My name is Smitty and he and I have to go home together. You may remember hearing that we were born to a mother cat who sneaked into a trailer. And when we all went to The Rescue House, Smokey and I became best friends so we're bonded together.  I'm the more active of the two and you can see that from me swatting at this toy. While Smokey watched from up high, I chased this toy around until I was tired. Then I relaxed and accepted pets from the people who played with me. When I decided it was time for a nap, I joined my brother up high. We're the perfect bonded pair. Come meet us and see if we're good for your home.

Smokey Strolls into the Clowder at Cat & Craft

January 19, 2026
My mother sneaked into a trailer in Ramona to give birth to me. And when another kitten lost his mom, he joined me and my mother. We soon found our way to The Rescue House in order to get a chance to thrive. I became close friends with Smitty, who is here with me and who I must go home with.  Every pair has a calmer one and a more active one, and I'm the calmer one. I may not be the first to jump into action like my foster brother Smitty, but I'm happy to approach you and sit quietly by you. And if I decide I like you, I'm going to roll over and flop at your feet. I will chase toys from time to time, but I'm happy to be next to you and hang out with you. Come meet me and my brother and see how opposites like us go so well together.

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.
