At Cat and Koi Lounge, our cats come first—always. Team Cat is where we share how we care for our resident cats, ensure their safety and wellbeing, and create a calm, respectful environment for both animals and guests. Rather than spotlighting individual cats, we focus on the standards, routines, and philosophy that guide everything we do.
Every decision at Cat and Koi Lounge is guided by what’s best for our cats. We design our space, policies, and guest experience around feline comfort, choice, and consent. Cats are never treated as attractions—they are respected residents with the freedom to interact on their own terms.
Cats thrive when they can balance play with uninterrupted rest. Our lounge is thoughtfully zoned to support both:
Our cats are monitored daily by trained staff who understand feline behavior and wellbeing.
If a cat shows signs of stress or fatigue, they are given immediate space and rest away from guest areas. Their comfort and health always take priority.
To maintain a safe and calm space for our cats, we ask all guests to follow a few simple guidelines:
We intentionally avoid individual cat profiles to prevent favoritism, overstimulation, or unrealistic expectations. Our cats are not performers or characters—they are living beings whose moods, energy levels, and social preferences vary daily.
By focusing on Team Cat as a whole, we reinforce our commitment to collective care, respect, and ethical animal interaction.
For the comfort and safety of both our cats and guests, picking up cats is not allowed. Even friendly cats can become stressed or uncomfortable when handled unexpectedly, which may lead to scratching or biting.
We encourage guests to let cats approach on their own terms. When a cat chooses to interact, you’re welcome to gently pet them. Cat toys are also available for safe, fun playtime.
Our cats are permanent residents who are well-adjusted to the lounge environment. Each cat has a unique personality—some enjoy playtime, while others prefer to relax.
Keeping resident cats allows us to provide a consistent, low-stress experience for both the cats and our guests. This is their forever home, and their comfort and stability are our priority.
