We’re Not the Fancy Cat Café! We’re the Life-Saving One 🐾

Our cat café might not have chandeliers or lattes, but we do have some of the best feline (and canine!) residents in town. Thanks to Uoffice Executive Suites, entry is completely FREE, because connection shouldn't cost a thing.

We’ll be honest. Our top priority is far from running a picture-perfect cat café. It’s saving lives. That means getting creative, moving kennels, and doing whatever it takes to give every pet a shot at love.

Our cats (and dogs!) adore visitors. Come hang out, give them some love, and see the impact we’re making firsthand.

🕛 Open Wednesday–Sunday, 12pm–7pm
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 All ages welcome! Kids must be accompanied by an adult.
***Closed on the 4th of July***

Come for the cats. Stay for the cause. ❤️

🎉 YOU GUYS DID IT! Margarita has left the building! 🎉

Thanks to your shares, support, and love, our longest-term kitty finally found her people. While she’s going out as a foster for now so we can keep monitoring her skin and weight, this is truly the beginning of her forever.

We are so, so grateful for this community. 💛 Keep rooting for Margarita as she settles in, and thank you for helping us get her one step closer to happily ever after. 🐾

Sparky has been waiting over 250 days at Galveston County Animal Resource Center for someone to notice his goofy grin and cuddly heart. He's a 1-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a medium energy level, a laid-back vibe, and a love for playtime and snuggles.

✅ Passed all handling tests (tail tugs, face pets, full body cuddles)
✅ 30–50 lbs of pure love

Sparky’s been patient, but shelter life isn’t meant to last forever. He deserves a home, and we think someone out there deserves him. Could that be you?

Before ➡️ After ➡️ Home 🏡💖

Leona came to GCARC looking like the first photo — frail, patchy, and defeated. We spent months nursing her back to health, and the second photo shows her nearly fully healed, safe at our adoption center. And now? That last photo is her in her forever home 💫

She was adopted in May, and her new mom says she’s doing amazing:

“She’s really chill and just likes to sleep. She’s picked her favorite spots around the house lol. She loves hanging in her bed or cuddled up with me in mine 🥰.”
This is why we do it. Every penny pinched, every sacrifice made. It’s all worth it to see stories like Leona’s. From broken to beloved 💕

🐾 466 Days and Counting... 🐾

Margarita is officially our longest-term cat, and our hearts are breaking for her. 💔 She’s been with us for 466 days. That’s over a year of waiting patiently for someone to notice her.

She’s had some skin and weight issues, but after extensive vet care, we believe they’re largely due to stress from being in a shelter environment for so long. Margarita deserves better. She deserves a cozy home, a quiet space, and someone willing to take a chance on her.

She may not be the most outgoing cat, but she’s full of quiet charm. She has the goofiest little meow, and she can make herself at home in any box, bed, or nook. She’s a good girl who’s simply been overlooked for too long.

Margarita is available for foster or adoption, and we’re really hoping to get her into a home ASAP. Stop by any time we’re open to meet her. You just might be the person she’s been waiting for. 💛

This summer, she’s been working hard to gain as many animal care hours as possible and it shows! During her time with us, Anna enjoyed learning to vaccinate, microchip, and prep evening medications. Her dedication and curiosity have made her such a valuable part of our team, and we can’t wait to see where her future takes her. 💫
