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.

Miller Makes Sure You Know He's Around

December 5, 2025
When I was a tiny kitten, my mother got poisoned and died. This is why it's important to use non-toxic methods to exterminate pests wherever possible. Fortunately, The Rescue House took me and my siblings in and bottle fed me until we were able to grow healthy and strong. And then I came here.  You'll find me wandering through the cat lounge, looking for people to pet me. And I'm not shy about letting you know that I've around and want attention. Give me attention, and there's a good chance I'll become a puppy cat for you. Come on in and say hi. I guarantee you that you'll make a friend.

Gopher Wants to Burrow Into Your Heart

November 18, 2025
I was born to a mother named mouse, so all of her kittens got names of rodents. This seems a little strange to me, since we felines consider most rodents prey, but here we are.  I suppose it's fitting that I like to chase around toy mice. Maybe it reminds me of playing with my mom. Or maybe it's just a way for me to expend my energy. And when I'm done with that, you'll find me on a shelf off the ground, ready to accept pets. Or sometimes, I burrow my way into the cushions, kind of like my namesake. Regardless, you'll find a fun and friendly cat.

Niko and Fitz Make a Great Pair

November 7, 2025
We lived outside and weren't doing well when we were taken in by kind people. Our people don't know if we're brothers, but if we're not, we may as well be. We like to snuggle together, in part because we got caught in a freezer before we went to a Rescue House foster home and got the chance to thrive.  One of the things that makes people think we're related is when we play floor hockey with each other. A ball on a hard floor? It's one of our favorite things to do. We'd love the chance to entertain you, so come and see us.

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.
