A question we occasionally hear: “Why do I have to pay just to see the cats?”
We offer an experience of being among cats. Like going to a zoo, Disneyland, or the movies, guests pay for the experience of being around our group of cats. Unlike city or county shelters, we are not funded through taxes. We are an independent nonprofit organization.
“But I’m interested in adopting.”
People who end up adopting get their visit fees credited toward their adoption fee. But yes, we do ask people who are in the market to adopt to pay the entrance fee.
“You charge per person?”
Yes. We limit how many people can be in the lounge at once to minimize the stress on the cats and keep the experience more enjoyable for visitors.
“Don’t you want to adopt out the cats?”
We do. If our entry fee is a barrier to adoption we kindly point potential adopters to other locations including the county shelter.
