WE ARE NOT A RESCUE.

We do NOT INTAKE any animals!

It's frustrating for us to have to put this at the top of our website. We have been getting so many phone calls asking us to take in cats and kittens of all ages, despite this info being on our doors, on our phone message, on our social media and website.

If you are telling your friends to bring us cats, STOP.

If you are thinking of calling us to ask us to take cats, STOP.

We can go into more details on what to do if you find a cat or kitten who needs help, but for now, please know many rescues are full. We ENCOURAGE you to get on any wait list for intakes- sometimes spots open up sooner- it's better to have a plan than no plan at all.

Be kind to humans in rescue groups. They are doing their best. Many have overflow staying in garages, campers, and outdoor enclosures. The last few years have been INTENSE.

Lastly, SPAY AND NEUTER SAVES LIVES

There are lots of low-cost clinics that will assist for TNR, strays, and personal pets in getting this done. Kittens are adorable, yes, but many that are born outdoors don't make it because of illness and overpopulation, and that's a sad thing to think about, but it's the truth.

What is a "cat cafe" and how does it work? (The Short Version)

Congrats! You found a unique experience that aims to help cats find forever homes! Before making the trip, please understand our basic concept:

1- There is a small fee to enter the cat lounge. It is a necessary evil, but it helps us take care of our residents and their space. Housing an average of 12+ cats is no easy feat! Book a visit here.

2- We are the middleman in the adoption process. You CANNOT bring cats here to surrender, and you cannot walk out with an adopted cat the same day!

3- We are not a daycare/playground. Please see our Child Policy page for more information if you plan to bring kids. This is meant to be a relaxing space!

We hope that clarifies some common misconceptions. For more information, see our FAQ Page for answers to the same questions we get asked day in and day out!

Who we are...

Syracuse's premier cat cafe! In partnership with local rescues and shelters, we allow cats to feel more at home as residents in our cafe. You get a better idea of what they're all about and if you are ready to give them a forever home they can be adopted.

Prepare yourself to be grounded & connect to the world to find happiness and comfort! Pet some cats, warm your soul, feel the love!

Upcoming Events

Our Special Events section was getting a little big, so we've given it it's own page! Check out our upcoming events!

Not from around here? Going out of town? Mew Haven Cat Cafe has put together an awesome directory of cat cafes across the US!

It's not the weirdest thing on the internet, but we figured, "why not?"  

This day and age, people are willing to do anything to make a few bucks, even sell feet pics on the internet. Well, noone seems to be selling CAT feet pics, so here we are- some of these freeloaders gotta help with the bills somehow.

Enter OnlyBeans, founded by our rockstar resident, Eddie VanTailen. When asked why, VanTailen simply stated, "I do it for the Churus. Oh, and to give people something to smile about."
