Mini Cat Town

Johanna Loera a month ago

I came after work to get kitten therapy. The volunteer at the window was kind and helpful. The kittens were curious and playful. I was able to sit on the floor and have multiple cats come up to me for scratches and pets. $15 for 30 minutes of serotonin in Palo Alto is a deal. I get to help socialize kittens, get play time with multiple kittens and help my community??? They can continue to take my money. I hope they introduce wfh deals similar to the students deals they have. I will continue to come back. This is a cat shelter that is supported by volunteers. I have noticed volunteers interact with the cats and do full on cleaning at the end of the day. Keeping a space 100% clean with at least a dozen kittens and people coming in and out is not feasible. It is reasonably clean with the amount of cats and people that are in that space. If people see the space needing some additional cleaning I hope it encourages them to volunteer instead of criticize.

Huge space with adorable kittens up for adoption! We had a great time visiting and playing with the kitties while in Palo Alto. We adopted our kitties from a place like this (in NM) and it is so much better for them than a shelter. It was clean, full of their necessities, and plenty of toys and comfy spots for the kitties to rest and play.

Sashay into 429 California Ave and werk, because this is not your average cat café, darlings! It’s a full-blown 501(c)(3) nonprofit that’s rescued over 3,500 neonatal kittens since three fabulous sisters started this whole empire back in 2015. That’s right, this operation went from feeding strays with allowance money to a four-location kitten kingdom. A rescue realness story if I’ve ever heard one. To the queen complaining about paying admission just to supervise your kids — sis, every dollar of that fee is going straight to spay/neuter surgeries and saving orphaned kittens, not into anyone’s Birkin fund. That’s called charity, not a scam. Also, category is: let the cat come to YOU. These are tiny rescued babies, not props for your Instagram Reel. Sit pretty, be patient, and the kitties will grace you with their presence when they’re ready. Consent, henny, it applies to cats too. 10/10, would strut back. Support the mission, adopt don’t shop. 💋

My friend and I visited mini cat town today and upon entering, we walked up to the window where one of the staff members opened the window and just stared at us. No greeting or instructions. Overall the experience inside was ok. The wobbly cat Scrappy seemed neglected. He was smelly, dirty, and had a piece of poop stuck on him. He was also having a hard time on the hardwood floor, he was slipping around a lot. I let the staff know about the issue and three of them surrounded his pen and did nothing. Our time was up at that point so we aren't sure if the staff ever cleaned him up. The other cats seemed happy but it was very disheartening to see a lack of care for Scrappy. The staff were also very awkward on our way out. We weren't sure what to do with our time stamp lanyard.

Most fun!!!!!! What cuties! You just have to be very still and relaxed for the cats to sniff you and then play around you. Definitely most appropriate to go in with total chill vibes so the kitties don’t feel uncomfy! The cost is reasonable & the place is spotless. I am shocked I did not come home with six new kittens lol.
