SUMMARY:Play with 20+ Adoptable Cats!
DESCRIPTION:Spend 50 minutes in our cat lounges with 20+ adoptable cats. Your reservation not only helps to cover the cost of their care\, but it also helps to socialize them\, even if you aren’t looking to adopt. Thank you!\n–\nAll of our cats come from local non-profit rescues and 100% of their adoption fee goes to the originating rescue. They are all spayed/neutered\, microchipped\, vaccinated and tested for many common pathogens.\n–\nAdvance reservations are the only way to guarantee time in the lounge. We welcome walk-ins as long as there is space\, but if the hour is sold out\, it may be a while before the next available lounge time.\n–\nMAKE A RESERVATION!\n\n\n \n\n\nPowered by SimpleTix

SUMMARY:Play with 20+ Adoptable Cats!
DESCRIPTION:Spend 50 minutes in our cat lounges with 20+ adoptable cats. Your reservation not only helps to cover the cost of their care\, but it also helps to socialize them\, even if you aren’t looking to adopt. Thank you!\n–\nAll of our cats come from local non-profit rescues and 100% of their adoption fee goes to the originating rescue. They are all spayed/neutered\, microchipped\, vaccinated and tested for many common pathogens.\n–\nAdvance reservations are the only way to guarantee time in the lounge. We welcome walk-ins as long as there is space\, but if the hour is sold out\, it may be a while before the next available lounge time.\n–\nMAKE A RESERVATION!\n\n\n \n\n\nPowered by SimpleTix
