Please do not bring your own snacks or drinks.

We sell many tasty beverages and snacks you are welcome to bring with you upon entry to the cat room. If you aren’t looking to visit the cat room, you are invited to have a coffee and relax on our cafe side.

No. We do not do out of state adoptions. Our rescue partners are local, and can only do in-state adoptions. If you live outside of Michigan and are interested in adopting, look to your local rescues, shelters, cat cafes and other adoption centers.

• Are you financially prepared? Our cats are already spayed/neutered and vaccinated. You will, however, need to provide proper medical care with annual check-ups and emergency care when needed. You may want to purchase pet insurance or have a health savings account for your cat. Consider also costs of food, litter, toys, and pet sitting.
• Will your cat be more important than your furniture? Cats shed fur on clothes and furniture. A supply of lint rollers may be needed. Cats need scratching exercise. Be prepared to provide scratching surfaces and proper training to keep them from the furniture and anticipate some trial and error. Constellation Cat Cafe requires an adoption contract that prohibits declawing. Declawing is inhumane and ineffective.
• Do you have time to spend with a cat? Contrary to popular opinion, cats are very social animals. They need affection and interactive play — especially cats who spend long hours home alone.

• Adult cat (1 year or older) – $100
• Single kitten  (under one year) – $150
• Two kittens – $250

We are lucky to work with two incredible rescue partners, Saved by Zade and Happy Feet Pet Rescue. The cats that come to the cafe come from their networks of fosters. 

It depends. Most cats are adopted within a week or two. Our longest resident in the cat room was a little over 4 months!

Yes! Though some kitties have accidents due to the stress of being relocated, all of our adoptable cats are litter trained.

We are very intentional about bringing cats that get along with other cats to our cat room. Occasionally, we’ll have adoptable cats who prefer to be a one cat household - and we make sure to mark that on their adoption chart. 

Our cat room averages 6-20 adoptable cats.

We aim for new cats every Sunday, but adjust the intake according to the amount of adoptions per week.

We have a wide range of ages. We typically have an overflow of kittens (younger than 1 year) in spring and summer due to “kitten season”

We cannot take in cats (whether found or surrendered) from the public under any circumstances. All cafe employees who can foster cats are already at full capacity.

Please reach out to your local humane society (such as Capital Area Humane Society), animal control (such as Ingham County Animal Control), or foster-based rescues (such as our rescue partners Saved By Zade and Happy Feet Pet Rescue) for assistance and advice.

For emergencies, we also encourage you to post found cats or kittens on the Michigan's Urgent Cats facebook group.

If you find a friendly adult cat outside, please post photos and location on your community's lost/found pet groups on Facebook.

We do not have an on-site vet, but we are in constant support with our rescue partners to monitor the well-being of all cats in our cat room. If we notice any unusual symptoms, we immediately notify our rescue partners.

Foster caretakers help name the cats. On special occasions, we do allow donors to help name cats.

Yes, all adoptable cats are vaccinated/spayed/neutered at the time of adoption.

Yes, we accept cash, credit card, and in-kind donations.

We are also now officially a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, which makes any donations that you make tax deductible!
