Le Cat Cafe (Green Street Cat Rescue) in Brewerytown is great, it’s I think a $15 donation and you get to hang out with a whole room full of kitties. It’s where I got my girl from, she was already spayed and vaxxed so it was pretty straightforward for a first time cat dad like myself. Just be sure to bring either a mask or your vaccination card since they were still doing that last I checked.

Also, since it’d be rude not to share a picture

I also got my wonderful kitty Riku from there! Highly recommend, the staff is very friendly and made the whole process easy. My little guy had a lot of health issues early on and they were extremely helpful in helping me navigate through all of that.

Here's my obligatory cat tax

I've fostered for Green Street Rescue for 5 years. Thank you for adopting from us! Please make sure to check out our website too as we have many cats and kittens being fostered in our homes (I have five right now:) who are up for adoption.

Her name at the shelter was Peppermint but I renamed her Tali because I’m a raging Mass Effect fanboy and she had a respiratory infection when I brought her home 😂

(Nothing major, just the kind of nuisance URI that tends to pop up in shelters)

Love it! Glad it wasn’t anything major! My oldest boys name is Mika, renamed from Crackers 🤦🏼‍♀️ and my youngest is Spot! That’s the name he came with and we couldn’t think of anything better. Plus, he has a big spot on his back 😂

I was there a few weeks ago. The cats were so friendly and outgoing!

That’s how she got me! I wasn’t even there to adopt, just to chill, but this tiny little lady just walked right up and started headbutting my hand and purring, I never stood a chance.

She knows it, too. Little brat’s more stubborn than me by far 😂

We got our first one here and it was nice to be able to visit them all and get to know them in a relaxed atmosphere before adopting.

SECONDED!! Also you don’t need to pay a visit fee if you have an approved adoption application!

How/where do you get that? From Green Street Rescue, specifically? Or like any place that does adoptions?

blinchik2020 t1_j2ze2l5 wrote

what I’m saying is that you can visit the cat cafe which normally charges an hourly fee for free to look at the cats if you have an approved foster or adopt application! This is for green street rescue only; I wouldn’t know about others!

Thanks. That’s what I meant: where did you need to have an approved foster or adopt application from in order to be able to visit the cat café for free? But you’ve now stated that it has to be from Green Street Rescue. Good to know!

Yes, indeed that is the correct interpretation! I highly recommend them. It’s volunteer only, so just be patient with them but everyone is super friendly and wants to help
