WE ARE SPOKANE’S CAT CAFÉ

Kitty Cantina is a feline sanctuary in Spokane, WA. We have partnered with SpokAnimal to give rescue cats a luxury, cage-free environment as they wait to find their forever home. Grab a coffee and study or have a wine date with friends – all while snuggling homeless kitties. If one steals your heart, don’t worry. They’re adoptable!

OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE.

To eliminate euthanasia, we shelter homeless cats and facilitate adoptions through a unique cafe experience and bonding opportunity. It’s all about boosting the chances of adoption by increasing exposure of cats to potential adopters.

MAKE AN IMPACT

Cats living at Kitty Cantina live in luxury until they are adopted. No cages. No chance of euthanasia. No fear. About 3.4 million cats enter shelters annually. Nearly half never make it out. The change may seem small, but together we can leave an impact that lasts a lifetime (or nine).

Increased Adoption Rates

The cats living at Kitty Cantina will be exposed to more potential adopters that they might otherwise not get to meet in a traditional shelter setting. This improves their chances of making a love connection and finding their forever home.

Personality Matches

Cats are free to roam and sleep when/where they please. This freedom gives them the opportunity to be themselves and show their true personality when interacting with visitors, resulting in a purrfect match.

Quality of life

While waiting to be adopted, we provide cats with a safe, nurturing, and stress-free environment.

Saving Lives

Our resident kitties can stay with us as long as it takes for them to be adopted. Euthanasia is never an option.

Help Disadvantaged Cats

Our resident senior or most disadvantaged kitty will be “sponsored” with the intent of increasing their chances of adoption. 5% of the profits from our merchandise sales will go directly toward the cost of their adoption fee.

Therapeutic Experience

Petting a cat can release endorphins. Try snuggling 10 kitties at a time! It might change your life.

“It’s all about boosting the chances of adoption by increasing exposure of cats to the potential adopters”

I fell in love with one of the kitties. Can I adopt them?

Yes! We follow the same adoption protocols as the shelter, plus we’ve added a few of our own, including a “sleep on it” phase.

FAQ

MEET OUR FOUNDERS

Justyn and Tori Cozza have lived in Spokane for the majority of their lives. They met in high school and common interests (umm… cats?) helped spark a relationship. They dated and eventually got married in their college years. Tori’s love for coffee and Justyn’s appreciation for the food service industry was complimented by their mutual obsession for kitties! Their daughter ended up being just as much of a cat nerd as they were, so they decided to start a family business that suited them all. Kitty Cantina was born.
