A: A cat café is a café where visitors can enjoy beverages, snacks and interact with in-house felines. We get our cats from Teller County Regional Animal Shelter (TCRAS) and all are adoptable on a first come basis. Unfortunately, we cannot host other cats. For many reasons, none of them are because we don’t love your cats.

A: There’s no shortage of cats needing forever homes. We hope to take some stress off local shelters by fostering eight kitties at a time and eventually finding them good homes. While they are here at Comfort and Joy we will work to introduce and socialize the cats safely to other cats and humans. We also support litter-box, scratch post training (the two biggest reasons for cat surrender). It has been proven that cats can have a calming effect thereby de-stressing people. With the win-win human and cat interactions we feel this purpose driven business will have a positive impact on the people visiting and living in our community.

A: We charge an hourly rate, to keep a roof over the cats’ heads, keep them safe, warm and to supply them with the supplies that they deserve. Also, there’s overhead for running the café and paying our employees.
