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.

Freya Brings Her Friendly and Fun Personality to Our Clowder

April 16, 2025
See how my front left leg is blurred in this picture because I'm moving it? That's fitting for me because I like to move around, check things out and play. You might think I grew up in an environment that allowed me to thrive, but sadly, that was not the case. I was living in a hoarding situation before The Rescue House was able to take me in. Since I didn't get a lot of attention initially, I LOVE interaction with people. And I'm used to other cats as well because I spent a lot of time with them. Come see me wander over to you and maybe you'll want to take me home so I have a new place to investigate.

Dean Winchester Is Looking for a Wrestling Buddy

April 4, 2025
I spent my days outside of the dean's quarters on a college campus and I was doing well. One of the students thought that I would do better if I had a home to call my own, and that's how I ended up with The Rescue House. I like people and other cats, and I enjoy playing with them.  Some cats don't like how rambunctious my wrestling moves get, though. So I'll need to go to a home with a cat who does enjoy this. If that's your home, you won't have to watch Raw anymore. The wrestling moves I'll show off are as good as anything you'll see there. Come meet me and see if you can find me a sparring partner!

Bonded Pair Smokey and Bear Arrive at Cat & Craft

March 26, 2025
We were found outside by someone who has a volunteer for The Rescue House on staff. They knew who to turn to immediately, and we quickly got inside to get the care and attention we needed to thrive.  We're a playful pair. We like to chase around wand toys and if you roll a ball around us, you're sure to get your attention. But our favorite toy is each other. And that's why we're a bonded pair. We can't be separated, and after seeing how much we love each other, you'll understand why. Is there room in your home for two playful cats? Maybe you can bring us there. And if not, come see us and you're sure to be entertained.

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.
