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.

Seven Kittens is Enough for Nori

July 11, 2025
Can you imagine living outside and raising seven kittens in seven months? That's what I had to do before I went to a foster home for The Rescue House. They got me to the doctor so that I wouldn't be able to have any more kittens because I'm sure you agree that seven is enough!  Now that my kitten raising days are over, I'm enjoying my time by myself. I love to hang out close to but just out of reach of my people. When I'm in the mood, I'll let you pet me and I'll reward you with purrs. It won't surprise you that I'm cautious when it comes to making friends, but take the time and I'll reward you with purrs.

Finn Says His Extra Toes Make Him McCool

June 27, 2025
Even though my extra toes made it easier for me to catch prey and fend off predators, living outside isn't a good way for a cat like me. The Rescue House took me in, got me to a foster home, and gave me the care I needed. Then I came here to show everyone how cool my extra toes look.  You might think that I would be a rambunctious cat with those, but I'm much more calm. I like spending time in people's laps when I get to know them. Don't get me wrong, I do play, but I'm mostly content to just spend time close to my people. Come see if I'm the mellow cat with quirky feet that belongs in your home.

Uniquely Named Peanut Butter Van Gogh Arrives

June 13, 2025
I have a name that I'm sure you've never heard before. Peanut Butter Van Gogh is too long, so they call me Peebs. I got the Van Gogh part of my name because of my uniquely shaped ears. That came about because of my time living outside. You'll have to monitor those more carefully than for most cats if you take me home. But I think they give me character.  Come see my play and chase things around and see if you want to welcome a unique looking cat with an unusual name into your home.

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.
