La Maison du Chat

27/12/2022

As many of you already know, we sadly have to close our little cat café this December for good. Even though we are heartbroken and devastated, today we would love to share all the great things we achieved in the past 2 years. We had
▫️ 81 cats adopted
▫️ 14 amazing volunteers
▫️ 17 people working with us
▫️ 12 coffee mornings for the elderly
▫️ 54 boxes of donations for the Ukraine
▫️ 55 support groups during lockdown
▫️ 20 ballet classes for 3-4 year-olds
▫️ hosted various SEN support and charity groups/meet-ups

and made hundreds of people smile. We will never forget what this place meant to us and to you guys, our amazing community. Thank you from all of our heart, together we made a difference. And that’s what we are proud and thankful for ❤️

Dear lovely customers, supporters and cat lovers,

it is with great sadness that we have had to take the decision to permanently close our little cat cafe after Christmas.

After the devastating impact of Covid, the almost 6-month closure we suffered due to Westminster Council delays cost us such a large amount in direct costs that there is no way a small business such as ours can ever repay or recover from that. Add into the mix the ever-rising cost of utilities, goods and staffing, and burden of red tape and we find ourselves unable to ever break even.

We are heartbroken to say the least, but remain open until 23rd December and will be open every day until then, so you can come and enjoy our lovely cats, our freshly made food and cat-themed merchandise just in time for Christmas.
Equally, if you want to purchase a piece of furniture or equipment please feel free to make us an offer and take a memento of our cosy little spot home with you! (this includes our amazing cat frame which will be available from 24th December).

Thank you for all the support, for your love for our cats and for your belief in this community project, we do hope we made a difference and we have loved putting smiles on so many faces ❤

Florence and team 🐈

We have some lovely original art in store, most of it painted by local artist Melissa Milan.

We have decided to list it all in an online auction on here to help us raise funds for our vet bills - all profits from this auction will go directly to Micky’s dental bill.

All of these items also make ideal gifts for the animal lovers in your life 🥰

Please note some items have a reserve price.
Postage fees will be applied on top of the bid price, or you can pick the item up from Pimlico.
