Grayson must know it’s his last day at Familiar!

Good Morning, Y’all!

I wanted to be closed today to give my hard working staff a break, which I still intend to do. But unfortunately, it’s payroll week and I REALLY can’t afford to not be open today.

Sooo I’m introducing “Familiar Lite: Cat Lounge Only!”
For today only - November 1st, I will be open 10AM-2PM for 15 and 30 min walk-ins only.

Cafe will be closed - no drinks will be served. But you can still purchase Bread and Buttered Bakery goods at the counter for your visit or to take home with you.

Come see the kitties today to help support them and their silly human 😹

AND if you’re looking for coffee, swing by our neighbor’s West End Diner before your visit ☕️

Part 2 of Cat Bellies…Are They a Trap? 😹

We learn that all 3 of these kitties are willing to have their bellies rubbed! In fact, they love it! Jilly Bean is very playful and will sometimes grab your hand if she is in play mode. The others will accept belly rubs any time 💚🐈‍⬛

Happy Meowloweem from your furiends at Familiar! Visit us and the kitties today in your costume and receive 10% off your purchase 🎃🐈‍⬛👻

Kat will also be doing card readings for just $11 🔮✨

Be sure to check out Cedar Witch Goods and their Halloween offerings next door 💜

And just like that, Toast found her furever home!

Both calicos came in at the same time, and are leaving at the same time! Toast will be happy with a hooman she has all to herself 🧡

Join us in wishing this pretty kitty well on her journey 😻

We are THRILLED to announce that this unlikely pair is not only being adopted, but being adopted together!!

We foresee S’mores keeping Grayson active with her kitten energy while Grayson teaches S’mores the art of napping and requesting treats.

Be sure to stop in today or tomorrow to give them some love before they’re off on their next adventure 🩶🐾

Come catch a glimpse of them today, or join us for our Meowloween Week Sound Healing 5:30pm-7pm with Liz Remetch

There are a few spots available to reserve on our website or simply walk-in to participate. **Arrive a few minutes early for this event to get your drink included in the event price! We can’t wait to see you, and help you unwind after a long week 💖
