Roxy is another one of our lounge cats who would definitely prefer a quieter space and would ideally be your one and only.

Loves bird tv and loves the pink and red bed on our bookshelves. Isn't super into playtime from what we've seen. More of a cuddly little potato. 🖤

Very smart and agile girl who can launch herself from some of our lower floating shelves up to her fav spot in the rafters. Not many of the other cats in our lounge even attempt that jump. 😆💪

Stop in and see if you can spot Roxy in the rafters, or take advantage of the cuddle time if she's down and socializing.

Creepy stare contest finalist. 😳🫠

Zara has less of a "lust for blood" and more of a knack for taking intimidating photos. 😾👑😆

I dunno how this super soft, affectionate girl is still in our lounge. 😱

Zara isn't super interested in other cats so could be great as an only cat or with other cats who don't need a lot of attention from her.

If we start baby talking to one of the other cats, Zara comes running bc of course we must have been talking to her. 🤣 She loves being involved. 😍

Come over and tell Zara she is the fierce lioness she thinks she is. Cat lounge reservation link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

Looks like Scout wasn't interested in sharing his scratcher bowl but Cedric was happy to share one with Ethan and even included a free ear cleaning with his visit. 🤢🥰😆

Cedric is a great big brother type cat. Gets along with everyone, can play wrestle with the rougher cats or cuddle with the cats that need a gentler friend. He also loves to be held and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. 😍

Scout and Ethan are both very playful and friendly now, but they did take a few weeks to settle in so they will need a home with other playful cats, or a big brother like Cedric, to show them the ropes.

MAKE A RESERVATION to get some playtime in with these boys and all of our other adoptable lounge cats. Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

Oscar Meyer and Sunset never fail to entertain. 🐈🐈😆

They do pretty much everything together and usually that involves orange boy antics. 🙃🙃

Endless photo ops to whoever adopts these two. 📷📸

Loretta is one of our torties who thought about being a calico for like a second and then decided against it.

Tiny little whitish tip on her tail, but tortie rest of the way.

She hasn't been in the lounge long but super cuddly girl so far. 💗

Little One (pink collar) and Buddy (red bowtie) are our bonded sister and brother pair.

Little One is a very confident and affectionate girl who loves attention. Took no time at all to settle into the lounge.

Buddy loves to rub on people and gets extra affectionate when he's feeling insecure...which is everytime a new cat comes into the lounge. 😆

MAKE A RESERVATION to meet these siblings and reassure Buddy that he's a very good boy. 😸 Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

This new girl in the lounge is the SAWEETEST. She has cauliflower ear so of course we've been calling her Cauliflower Pizza Crust 🍕 🙌 🤪

The vet thinks maybe she had repeated untreated ear infections while she was living outside that could've caused the cauliflower ear. 🤷‍♀️🤕

What we know for sure is she's only been in the lounge for a few days and she's already a suuuper cuddly little potato. 🥔 💕

MAKE A RESERVATION to be cuddled by Cauliflower and her shrinky dink ear. Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/
