We will keep updating this post as we get closer to opening so you can see where we are at a glance. We wish we could give you a specific opening date, but everything has taken WAY longer than expected so far. We're doing everything we can to push things along as quickly as possible.

Right now: Construction began week of 9/16 and progress continues! Plumbing, electrical, hvac is all being worked on, and drywall should start going up soon.

Next step: Construction progress pics will be posted weekly here!

The more it looks like total chaos the closer it is to being finished, right? 😆 Sounds like drywall should start going up soon! #scratchingpostcu #catcafeconstruction

When we pre-ordered the super cute holiday version

When we pre-ordered the super cute holiday version of the 2 player game Boop many months ago, we thought FOR SURE we'd be open before the holidays. Noooowwww that outlook is not so good. So rather than sit on it until next year, we're making it available to purchase on our Kickstarter page (linked in bio) or you can email us at info@scratchingpostcafe.com and we'll send you an invoice and coordinate a time for you to pick it up. 20% of the profits from the sale of these will be donated to our partner rescues.

We have them in stock right now so you can potentially pick them up as early as later today. We only have 7 copies left so get them while you can!

This game is super quick to learn and completely adorable.

This wall still looks pretty rough now, but I promise you it looked way worse before, and it's gonna look great when it's done. These will be the windows looking from the cafe into the cat lounge. I can't wait to be able to post side by side before and after pics. #waitingishard #catcafeconstruction #scratchingpostcu

Vinyl lettering is HARD, y'all. But it's up. I'm gonna need everyone to promise you'll only ever look at it from a distance while squinting one eye. 🤣

Turns out we weren't supposed to paint a temporary sign outside the window without the city's permission. Woops! So we've taken the temporary sign down and we've got the approved, real sign going up late this week or next!

Can't Decide?

If you’ve already visited the lounge and need help deciding between a few of the kitties you’ve met, we can help you zero in on the one (or ones) that might be the best fit for you and your home environment.

Please remember all application approvals are done by the rescue the cat came from. The Scratching Post staff is happy to help you with recommendations, but you will still need to apply for whichever kitties you decide on, and the approval is at the discretion of the rescue.

When emailing us for recommendations, be sure to include info like:
