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.

Third Member of Recently Arrived Trio Tells His Story

September 4, 2025
I'm Pop. You met my two siblings, Snap and Crackle, last week. I'm the leader of the group and you'll often find me initiating a play session by chasing one or both of my siblings to get us running around. But don't worry, I'm happy to enjoy myself with humans as well, especially when they tempt me with a wand toy. I would love to go home with both of my siblings, but we know that might not be possible. Make sure there's another active and playful cat in the home, though.

A Trio of Bottle Babies Joins the Cat & Craft Clowder

By Delaney Davis • August 29, 2025
We're Snap, Crackle, and Pop. And the cereal with that slogan is known for making days good ones, so it's fitting for us. We didn't take much time to start interacting with the staff here. Snap and Crackle, pictured here, decided to pose for the camera right after we arrived. Pop took a little longer to say hello.  But give us some time and we'll show you our energetic nature and fun personalities. Make sure there's another active and playful cat for us if you want to take us home.

Porcupine is Anything But Prickly

August 22, 2025
My mother lost her home when she was pregnant with me and my siblings, Gopher and Mara. She went to a foster home where she gave birth to us and raised us. When we became ready to be on our own, all three of us came to Cat & Craft. I'm the most outgoing and sociable of the three. I was exploring and finding fun things almost immediately after arriving.  I would love to go home with my siblings, but if that can't happen, then I need to go to a home with another playful and active cat.

Come for the Cats,

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.
