The cat room takes no reservations and admits visitors in order of arrival until one hour before closing, while lunch tables and the afternoon tea set can be booked. Normal-thickness socks are required in the cat room. Payment is cash only. The resident cats are not up for adoption, though volunteer groups hold adoption events at the cafe.
