Meet our stained glass artist, Bonnie Rudner! Because we love working with local artisans in our community, we wanted to do a little spotlight on the artist who is helping us make this space even more PURRfect for The Cat House! Check out the progress!

Be sure to check out Mrs. Bonnie's ETSY and see what other beautiful pieces she has been working on- https://buff.ly/Hu0s3Dn

We are so lucky to get to work with other Highlands County artists and businesses to bring The Cat House Cat Cafe to downtown Sebring! Show Mrs. Bonnie some love, FURRiends!

Peep the construction update, it’s been a while. A more in depth update, coming soon!

But for now, just know there was a point where I had a “crazy” vision to bring a Cat Café here to Sebring so I started making the first steps to do it, but I almost lost the vision along the way. I almost threw in the towel before it even really began.

While nearly everyone I had whispered the idea to thought it was the coolest idea and were excited at the prospect, I had some voices in my life who didn’t hesitate to tell me they thought I was INSANE. But I saw the vision so clearly.

I have cried a lot over this project, even before it officially was announced and things really started moving.

I have also felt immense joy as this project has really taken shape. When we went public and saw the community’s support, I knew my vision wasn’t crazy- it was just different… and I’ve learned that not everyone was going to see the vision ultimately.

But see it with your own eyes, it’s coming together now, and “The Cat’s Den” (our main cat room) is starting to take shape.

I don’t know, maybe I am a little crazy 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I think people with big ideas need a little of that and a lot of bravery to make something really cool happen.

Stay tuned 🐈

Pure sweetness out of a complete Sweetheart 🥹

Look how pretty she is posing for the camera and everything! Sweetheart is currently in a foster placement and she has so much love to give. She loves to play, loves to snack, and loves pets. She’s also a model, as you all can see 😻

We love KOA! He is such a LOVER and will be one of our residents at The Cat House when we open for all our furriends to visit and love up on 🖤

Koa is doing amazing. This boy absolutely loves being included in everything — held, loved, talked to, and treated like he finally belongs somewhere. His whole personality has opened up, and he’s showing us every day just how much sweetness was hiding under all that fear and survival mode.

His wounds are healing beautifully, and he’s feeling better and stronger. And now we’re only about a month away from him being in his furever home at The Cat House Cat Café. He’s going to be one of our full‑time residents, and he’s going to be incredible for all the future Koas who come through. He’s living proof that even the scariest tom cats — the ones everyone writes off — can be tamed, loved, and transformed when they’re finally safe.

To everyone who has been cheering him on, donating, sharing his story, and believing in him — thank you. And a huge thank‑you to Tiffanie, Koa’s monthly sponsor, for supporting him and helping make his healing possible.
