Visiting Lucky Cat Café

There are a few basic rules we ask visitors of the Lucky Cat Café to follow to keep the cats healthy and happy, and for your safety.

• Strictly no guests under 8 years old are permitted in the cat room.
• For visitors aged between 8 and 12 years, a parent or guardian will need to sign for, and be present throughout the session (booked in).
• Be nice to the cats! Don't pull their tails, chase them, or do anything that would scare them. If you do, you will be asked to leave with no refund.
• Don't pick up the cats unless the staff let you know you can. Some might be comfortable with being picked up, some may not. But they may come sit on your lap if they like you!
• Please do not feed the cats, unless it is cat food brought in by the staff.
• No flash photography.
• Before interacting with the cats you will need to check in, assuming all liability for injury or damage done to your person or property.
• Visitors must sanitise or wash their hands before entering the cat room. This helps us keep the cats clean and healthy.
• Only food and drinks purchased from Lucky Cat Café (except water) can be taken into the cat room.
• Only drinks with lids are allowed in the cat room.
• No refunds will be given within 24 hours of your booking time. 

FAQs

Are the cats at the café available for adoption?
Our cats are all available for adoption. We work with Kitten Kapers Rescue to ensure that they are adopted into suitable forever homes, with adoption days happening Sunday afternoon and Mondays. Please note, we do not do same-day adoptions.

Is the cat room wheelchair accessible?
Yes it is—there is a single step at our front door, but we have a portable ramp if required.
The rest of the café is single level with only slight lips to enter the cat room, however there are a few stairs to access the toilet that don't work with the ramp.
There is a handrail which is suitable for those with limited mobility, but not for chair bound people.

Can I bring my cat from home in for a visit?
Sorry, no. No outside animals are permitted inside the café due to council regulations.

Can I bring my own food and drink into the café? 
Only birthday cakes or party snack food (cold) are permitted, by prior arrangement. Outside food cannot be taken into the cat room.

Can I get a full meal at the café?
Unfortunately we don't sell meals at the café, but we do have a range of yummy cakes, slices and biscuits.

Can I apply for a job at the café?
We aren't hiring at the moment, but opportunities will be shared on our socials.

Can I volunteer at the café?
We don't offer a volunteer program at the moment, but you can stay up to date on volunteer opportunities by following us on social media.

Where should I park?
There is a small car park behind our building, accessible from Villa Street—just follow the parking arrows. 
If the car park is full, parking is usually available along Villa Street, which is an unlimited parking area.
