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.

Kevin is Definitely a Keeper

March 13, 2026
I was found without my mother and went to a foster home with The Rescue House to get the care I needed in order to grow up to become a healthy and happy cat. And am I ever. I'm playful, friendly and enjoy meeting people. And if I decide I like you, count on me snuggling up with you. I love other cats, too. That's why I have to have a feline partner in my home.  For now, I'm happy to run around the room chasing wand toys. When I'm done, I'll wait for you to start petting me. Make sure you visit me soon!

My sister Rye and I were found outside without our mom as kittens. This isn't a good situation for cats like us, and it often means that we're going to end up getting eating by predators or not getting enough food. Fortunately, kind people got us to The Rescue House. We got the care we needed to thrive and soon, we came here to find a home. I take a while to get use to new spaces, but even then, I'm interacting with friendly people and I might even purr for people I just met. And when I do get used to the space, I like to follow my people around.  My sister and I are settling in here, but we would love to find a home together.

I was living outside in the Los Angeles area and wasn't doing well. That's no surprise because outdoor cats there don't have a good life. When someone got the chance to bring me to The Rescue House, they took it and I quickly decided the indoor life is for me. I am used to having a lot of space to roam, so I'm not a cat who will do well in a small apartment. Give me enough space, though, and I definitely will not ghost you. You'll know where I am all the time because I enjoy staying close to the people I like.

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.
