Regal Cat Cafe — Restaurant in Calgary

I loved it there. I had returned 3 times in 2 weeks to visit the kitties. My favorite was a little black girl. I can't remember her name because it was too weird to remember. But the first time I saw her, she sat on my lap, after climbing up onto my lap, herself and giving me the full half hour. Of her time. I was fighting with my cousin to put in a adoption paper for her. But in the end it wouldn't have worked, because I left calgary on the twenty second, and I guess the Cats for adoption are not allowed to leave until july thirty first.

Sometimes I think that works in reverse for people who actually want to take home a kitty, especially on holidays. I came back to view her a few times and let's sad to leave without her. My two girls are a mom and baby who are so bonded.I think that This little girl would have fit right in with their bond in their pink palace. I am truly saddened by not being able to take her with me. I didn't fill up the application because I knew that I would be gone before the time she was available to be adopted out was after my time in town.

I had so many people saying bring her home.Yes, bring her home. But I didn't have a chance because of the date that she would be released from the shelter.

So I came back to my two girls and they're happy to see me

I don't know if it is a possibility to think of those who want to adopt sooner.Then later, when it comes to those out of town. I'm well known in the business industry as well as raising seventy thousand dollars for rescues and many years before that.

Anyways, as saddened as I am. I hope this sweetheart, who captured my heart, gets adopted to somebody who deserves to love her everyday of her life.

I came back to get a a second visit with her but she was too busy playing with everybody else and I think that caught everybody's attention but not enough people's attention to adopt her.

If you are willing to send her out to victoria, I will happily take her into my home with my girls.

Makes me so sad that she missed out on the opportunity to have a happy life at my house. I've had eight foster failures, and now I am with a mama and her baby and they are mine forever

Just really sad timing didn't work unless you make it work on your end I am open and available to take her in if she can be flown out to me. I felt so sad when I left.

I don't know how to add photos or videos, but on my TikTok there is a video of her playing with another black cat and on my Instagram or Facebook, there are photos of her snuggling with me the first day I was with her.

I feel like a part of my heart has been worked out because I don't have her with us but I don't know what your rules are and if she does find a home, I wish oh the best for her. I know i'm the best caretaker pet owner for her but rules do apply i guess.

Find me on instagram, youtube, facebook and tiktok. You will see your little girl having a blast of her life and d* i*, I miss her

Keep up...

This is exactly what I wanted from a cat cafe! There are so many adorable kittens, the tea latte I got was delicious, the macarons were cat shaped and delightful. Overall an excellent experience.

I'm going to give a more in-depth overview of the cafe below, but TL;DR it's delightful and you should definitely check out this cafe.

The cafe is divided into two sections. There is the cafe section, which has 6 tables that seat 4 each, and a number of shelves on the side that display cat-themed merchandise for sale. The interior is bright and open-feeling, despite not being all that large. This is aided by the fact that the cat side of the cafe is separated by a wall of glass, so you can watch them play while you enjoy a drink or food. This is great for people with cat allergies who like seeing cats but can't touch them. It also complies with food safety standards so you aren't getting cat hair in your drinks.

To see the cats, you go to the cashier and purchase a period of time to play with them. The "Kitty Kingdom" is a huge area with lots of toys the cats can play with, boxes and things the cats can hide in, shelves and climbing surfaces, and a bench along one wall covered in colourful pillows. I especially love this because it makes it more accessible for people who are mobility-limited, so they don't need to stand or sit on the floor to enjoy the kitties.

The cats have strategic holes in one wall that they can go through to retreat or do their business. This is great, because cats can become overestimated very easily, and a lot of them are kittens who definitely need alone time. So the cats aren't always all out, but this is a good thing. I would much rather see fewer cats who are happy and healthy, than many cats who are stressed and burned out.

The cats are all adoptable through the Meow Foundation, a fantastic organization that deeply cares for their animals. I really hope that the loving exposure that they are getting through this cafe will increase adoption rates.

With the success of the Royal Cat Cafe, I think it's only a matter of time before more follow their example, and more cat cafes pop up in Calgary. I'm really looking forward to this. More cats can only be a good thing. Congratulations Royal Cat Cafe, you have done an amazing job at debuting this niche...

I am a regular customer here mostly during the summer months. Generally I do not like to complain. I have a two year old who is obsessed with kitties. We always spend the day in Riley Park wading pool and go to the Regal Cat Cafe after like 5 mins. First of all, the cafe set up from the front door to the interior is not wheelchair/ stroller friendly at all. I always have to move 5 or 6 chairs before I even get to the front desk. None of the staff even care about how you are struggling to get to them. So most of the time, I just do not bother check in and take my two year old inside and out ( usually within 5 mins). But today, a staff member her name is RAY(apparently the AGM)approached us without a friendly greeting 1st and asked if we had any reservation. We said NO. She insists that we should book a reservation I said Okay. She looked at me and used a not friendly tone of voice "By the way, our next booking is full...so....". I politely asked if I could take my son in for 2 mins to see the kitties. A hard NO...Still trying to get us to book the next reservation. It makes me feel not welcomed. You can't even let a 2 year old go in for 2 mins??? WOW...This place is supposed to be for cat rescues and adoption. The owner just wants to make money and take $10 a person for 30 mins. The concept of this place is completely wrong. Before having my baby, I used to work in customer service/ hospitality for years and I would never treat any of my guests like this and will accommodate the situation way better than this specific individual did.

We are world travellers, we have been to the 1st original kitty cafe in Japan and Ao island (the kitty island in Japan) Let me tell you, none of those places have rude staff like this one. I admit it's my mistake not to book a reservation. But with 3 staff members all chatting at the back of the working station and none of them care for a customer just doesn't sell.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. And we will not be back anytime soon. Do yourself a favor and avoid paying 10 buck for 30 mins to pet kitties. There are other shelters that you can visit kitties for free and...
