Rules & Things to Know
In order to keep our felines happy & safe, please be aware of the following rules:

• Rule #1 – Please sanitize hands upon entrance. Cats are generally not impressed with human hygiene!
• Rule #2 – Do not pick up cats. The kitties will be happy to jump on your lap on their own.
• Rule #3 – Children must be supervised at all times. We love kids & think the lounge is a great place to teach compassion and respect for animals but we need your help to ensure safe interactions between kids and kitties.
• Rule #4 – Please use soft voices. Cats do not like loud or sudden noises.
• Rule #5 – Photography & videotaping is encouraged but please avoid flash photography. The kitties have their fair share of paparazzi and think it’s for the birds.
• Rule #6 – Please be respectful of a cat’s comfort level. Do not pull tails, ears, or whiskers and do not force a cat to sit with you if it wants to roam.
• Rule#7 – Other than KQCR approved treats that can be bought at the lounge, please do not bring in food or treats to feed the cats. You may bring in your own beverages but they must be in a cup with a cap or lid.

When you enter the Cat Lounge, please check in at the reception desk. There you will pay your reservation fee ($5 per person) and sign the Cat Lounge waiver.

We generally have between 16 & 30 cats and/or kittens housed at the lounge at any one time to ensure the cats are comfortable in their living space and not over-crowded. The maximum number of people allowed in the cat lounge at any one time is 15 so that we can keep the Lounge peaceful and relaxing for both guests and our felines.

One of a cat’s favorite things to do is nap. Please do not be offended if our cats choose to get a little nap in while you are there. The Cat Lounge is stocked with a ton of toys, wands, scratchers, and other interactive play things you can use to entice cats to play with. Always make sure you are monitoring the body language of cats to ensure the cats do not become over stimulated. Kitty Queen Cat Rescue nor its staff is responsible for harm done by the rescue cats or kittens during your visit should you be scratched or bitten during play, etc. We do have a first aid kit on hand should you need a bandage or wound care.

How does it work?
The Cat Lounge will be an interactive yet relaxing place to come hang out, study, watch a little TV, enjoy some snacks & beverages and spend time cuddling with cats looking for a fur-ever home. When you arrive, you’ll pay a nominal entrance fee to hang out with our kitties. This fee helps us provide food and care and covers our overhead for the lounge itself.
