Here are some aspects of keeping cats in cat cafes in New Zealand:

Living conditions: Cat cafes must have a suitable cat space where the animals can move, play, and rest freely. It can be a separate room or a specially equipped space with upholstered furniture, toys, and cat beds.

Hygiene: Ensuring cleanliness and hygiene in a cafe is an important aspect. It is necessary to clean the premises regularly, wash litter boxes and bowls after cats, and provide appropriate care for cats.

Food: Cat cafes should provide cats with a high quality and balanced diet. They should have access to fresh water and food appropriate for their needs and age.

Medical care: It is important to provide cats with medical care and appropriate vaccinations. Cat cafes can partner with local veterinary clinics to ensure the health and well-being of their residents.

Socialization: Cat cafes should create conditions for cats to socialize and interact with visitors. This may include providing a variety of games and activities for cats, as well as opportunities for guests to interact with the animals.

Safety: Cat cafes should ensure safety for both cats and visitors. This includes not allowing cats to bring their own pets into the cafe, requiring them to follow the rules of behavior, and restricting access to dangerous objects for cats.

It is important that cat cafes adhere to the above standards to ensure the well-being and comfort of their residents and visitors. This is the only way they can become a favorite place for all cat lovers in New Zealand.

Adoption of cats and kittens

So, you are considering bringing a new pet into your life. It’s an exciting and life-changing decision, but one that shouldn’t be made lightly.

Having a pet is a long-term commitment. That’s why we are very careful and cautious about the homes our kittens go to, to make sure they have the best possible home.

There are several steps you need to take before adopting a kitten from us. We start with visiting us and meeting our wonderful and friendly kittens. If all goes well and you fall in love with one of the kittens available for adoption, then the kitten will fall in love with you too! Then please let our friendly staff know for more information and forms to fill out.

The SPCA has additional concerns about cat cafes being used to rehome a “transient” population of rescue cats. The constantly changing group of cats and people can cause stress to the animals, increase the risk of infectious diseases and jeopardize the welfare of the cats.

Cat cafes should have rules in place to minimize potentially problematic human contact. Cats should be provided with areas that allow them to avoid contact with people, other cats, and potentially stressful aspects of the cafe environment (e.g., noise, strange odors, movement).

Cats can be extremely subtle in showing signs of stress, instead resorting to behaviors that mask their distress, such as faking sleep. Thus, even in well-managed cat cafes, there is a risk that these signs of stress can be easily overlooked.
