General Information

Kshama
- Baby strollers are not permitted as they spook a couple of our cats.
- Restroom facility is available.

Tour Rules
- Remember this is our cats' home. Please respect them.
- Do not provoke the cats in any way, especially by growling or snarling at them.
- If a cat growls or snarls at you, he/she is communicating his/her anxiety or irritation. Please walk away. Do not growl or snarl back.
- Do not try to coax a cat out of his/her den. Most cats are simply resting, but one or two are asking to be left alone. Please respect their wishes by walking away.
- Do not rattle or climb the cages.
- Do not throw anything in the walkways or cages.
- If a cat turns his/her backside towards you and raises his/her tail, then sidestep away. You are about to get sprayed. Do not back up as they have a very long range.
- Do not run. This could entice a cat to "chase" you. If a cat runs into another cat, a fight might erupt.
- Some of our cats love to interact with the visitors. Feel free to "oooh" & "aaaah," chuff and play hide and seek with the cats. They love the attention.
- Our house cats roam freely on the property. They are friendly but can become irritable from unwanted attention. We ask that you do not handle the house cats.
