Mauhaus understands that some live in homes or buildings where you can't have pets, and the cat café allows for those people to have a regular place to go to spend time with and love on cats that they can’t bring home. Mauhaus recommends making reservations, because during busy times, the wait can be long. Cats get adopted every week at Mauhaus, where you’ll encounter 10-12 cats regularly.

Coffee? Yes, and tea, and they have plenty of it. Baked goods? Loads of those too. Scones, biscotti, cookies, muffins, brownies and cake that rotate in styles and flavors. But, the cats are the feature. Helping them to find forever homes and families while providing a unique place for people to enjoy beverages, baked goods and felines simultaneously.
