Suggestions for Visiting With Cats
- Wear clothing proper for a visit with animals likely to sit in your lap, ride on your shoulders, jump onto you, or walk up your leg for attention. Most of our cats are not declawed; the occasional use of a claw as they interact with you is not uncommon.
- Always wash your hands. Cats have a heightened sense of smell compared to that of mere humans. They may decide your hand smells tasty or nasty and react accordingly. We have a handwashing station.
- When you visit, you're renting time and space to be with the kitties, even if it's just to watch them nap, and they do a lot of that, especially in the late afternoon hours. Some are active for several hours after we open. Some are active all day long, and some are just perpetual nappers.
- Quiet is how the cats like their home so please don't disrupt their peaceful atmosphere. We use background music that cats find pleasing. Our rooms are filled with classical music, especially Baroque. One exception is the Cosmos, which uses low frequency sounds for soothing the soul.
- We cannot accommodate more than 30 people in our space at the same time, so we might ask you to wait a little while when you arrive. When it comes to allowing people in at a certain time or after waiting, visitors who have prepaid their visit online have priority.

We're happy to work with you for group visits and parties. However, for the safety and welfare of the cats and their visitors, all our rules and terms still apply during these group visits and parties.
We cannot close for private parties nor can we accommodate more than 30 people in our space at the same time. Exceptons can be made for children who remain in strollers and do not interact with the cats.
Groups of Visitors
We are able to accommodate groups of visitors on a limited basis. Because we allow only 30 people into our space at the same time, we urge you to call ahead for groups of 10 or more. If you do not, there is no guarntee that we will have the ability accommodate your group even if space is available. Please do not just show up and expect to enter. All children coming in with a group must be signed in by a parent or guardian.
Private Parties
We often receive requests to reserve our space for private parties. We have limited hours when we can accommodate a private party in one of our rooms. Once again, we enforce our limit of no more than 30 people in the space at the same time and no more than two children aged 8 and under at the same time. The days and hours for accommodating private parties are as follows:
- Monday through Friday: For one hour minimum from noon and 6:00 pm
- Sunday: For one hour minimum from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
- Saturday: We cannot accommodate private party or event reservations on Saturdays
We cannot close The Charming Cat Corner for private parties. We can set aside one of our rooms for you, making it unavailable to other visitors. You may ask us to set up tables, extra chairs, or special music for your party in the reserved room, but the remainder of our space will be shared.
There is a reduced rate for planned parties. This rate will be explained when you inquire. In addition, there is a set-up and clean-up fee when we must provide extra services such as tables and chairs, special music, etc.
Reservations must be made at least one week in advance of your party. At that time, we may require a deposit if your group includes more than 10 people, including children. The deposit cannot be refunded if the reservation is canceled within 48 hours to the reserved time of the party. Please phone 972-315-CATS (2287) to inquire about private parties.
