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!

Our four cats at home LOVE these toys from Cat in the Box. 100% wool, big enough to be a kicker toy, long enough tail to use as a wand toy that doesnt break after two uses like a lot of other wand toys in our house.

We'll be selling them in our cafe after we open (20% of their profits will be donated to our parter rescues 💕) but if you just can't wait that long, you can buy them directly from the company at www.catisinthebox.com 😻😻

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 contract has been signed and construction begins the week of 9/9!

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

A happy accident at #gencon2024 . Was on the lookout for playmats and dice trays with cats for the cafe...obviously. Snagged these and got them signed by the artist @charlesurbachart , not realizing what the cat was from. Then was browsing the rest of the exhibit hall and randomly spotted this cute plushie and realized it was the cat on the playmat! So bought the plushie, game and expansion with that cat.

All of this will be available to play with at the cafe when we open. And who knows, maybe it will be available to play earlier if there was some sort of local board game convention coming up. 😉

Can't Decide?

Shoot us an email at [email protected].

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.
