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.

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.

Winkie's World Changes for The Better Thanks to The Rescue House

January 9, 2026
It's tough living as a cat outdoors. My siblings and I were doing that, but then cruel people came along and started to abuse us. Fortunately, we learned that there are kind people in this world because after I got attacked by a dog, someone stepped in and got us help.  The dog attack means that I'm always going to have a tilted head, just like you see in the photo. But I think it give me character. And it doesn't keep me from climbing onto people I like and snuggling up for a nap on your shoulder. Come and see if I'm the right nap companion for you.

Charlie Claims His Space in the Cat & Craft Clowder

December 18, 2025
When I was dumped at a Parks & Recreation location with my siblings, I thought things were not going to work out well for me. But it was actually the start of a good life. I went to a foster home with The Rescue House and then I came here with my biological and adopted siblings.  I'm the calmest of the bunch. Don't get me wrong. I'll still play and chase things around. But I'm also content to just relax next to people I care about and watch the world go by. Come and see if my calm demeanor is right for you.

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.
