About

El Gato Coffeehouse is Houston's first and only cat cafe and rescue. In response to COVID-19, El Gato Charities was formed in July 2020 to bridge the financial gap necessary to operate as a foster home to 14-20 cats. El Gato Coffeehouse and El Gato Charities work in tandem with one another.

Our collective mission is to adopt Houston rescue cats. We provide a comfortable environment for adoptable cats until they find their furrever home. If guests aren't looking to adopt, they can enjoy cat therapy, which also helps socialize the cats. 

The Cat Cottage houses our adoptable resident gatos. Book here to visit.

Adoption Process

All of our cats are available for adoption. The adoption fee is $95. We over a 7 day trial adoption period called a sleepover. Once approved, you receive a sleepover to ensure the cat is a good fit for you, your family and your other furrbabies.

Cats are all up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/ neutered and have a chip. Note: for kittens the cost of the remaining needed booster vaccinations and spay/ neuter are expenses that we cover, but you must work with our vets.

If you're interested in adopting, you can complete an application here and we strongly encourage you to book a visit to choose your most compatible cat. Email us at info@elgatocoffeehouse.com for more information on visiting and at elgatoadoptions@gmail.com for more information on adoptions.
