The cat cafe needs your unwanted fabrics and blankets! 🍁🛌🐈

As the colder weather settles in, our furry residents get cosier amongst the heaps of silks and duvet covers! Prince especially enjoys getting wrapped up in all sorts of warm layers and we are in need of a stock up!

If you happen to have anything lying around for our cats to snuggle up with we’d be super excited and grateful to take it off your paws! 💌

This includes items such as:
- Silks
- Duvet covers*
- Pillow cases*
- Soft sheets
- tablecloths
- blankets
- large fabric scraps

* Unfortunately, we are unable to take any duvets or pillows as they are too difficult to launder, only their outer coverings!✨

We are located at:
29-30 King William Walk
SE10 9HU
✨

Thank you so much for the donations we’ve had so far! ❤️ here is evidence of all the snuggles! ❤️

Introducing Howl! 🤍 💙

Beautiful, dramatic, endless energy, and somehow still the sweetest little soul.

Named after Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, he arrived with all the qualities of his namesake: breathtaking good looks, a flair for theatrics, and absolutely no interest in being told what to do. 💅✨

Howl was a furry firework from the moment he stepped paw into the café.
Naptime? An outrageous suggestion. Sitting still? Never heard of it. 🙀

Like the wizard himself, Howl’s story began with a move. He came to us from a loving family home in Greenwich and when changes in his family’s circumstances meant they could no longer give him the care he needed, the cafe could help him start a new chapter. 🤍 It’s never an easy decision to give up a cat so I am glad Lady Dinah’s was able to help!

As he was a similar age to Poirot, we hoped he would quickly settle in with the younger boys. At first, his enthusiasm was a little overwhelming, especially for Poirot, who wasn’t entirely convinced that being surprise pounced on every five minutes was the basis of a friendship. 😹

But over time, Howl has found his place. He’s learned the rhythms of café life, made friends with the other cats, and become a firm favourite with guests. These days, he’s still full of sparkle and curiosity but can often be found snoozing in a hammock or picnic basket 💤 💤

Though if you ask us, we suspect his real goal has always been quite simple...He just wants an invitation to join Poirot’s polycule. 🥰

Cats cats cats! at the cafe! in Greenwich! Vegan baked goods and a lovely cuddle on this crisp autumnal afternoon! 🍁🐈‍⬛🍃
You may notice us introducing our new Lord of the Rings kittens if you visit over the next few weeks…. 😼

While we invite everyone to enjoy a tea and a scone amongst our bouncy and youthful café residents, we also devote ourselves to the cats upstairs who will likely never come in to the main café space you are used to seeing!
☕️🌞🌸
Behind the scenes, we also make space for rescuing cats from all walks of life like Shortie, who was abandoned after his owners passed away. He is currently in our care at 14 years old with osteoarthritis and symptoms of cat flu, and has slowly began to trust us with gentle pets and chin scratches, we are determined to find him a loving home!
🏡🌷😸
As the café evolves we want to create more dedicated space for cats like him who are more vulnerable and would not benefit from the excitable company of our crazy cats and kittens, but we hope to make you aware that when you support us by booking a visit, you are also helping us provide care for the critters you may not meet!
✨🐈‍⬛✨🐈✨
If you have any interest in helping us foster as part of this process please send us an email ❤️

There will never be a shortage of cats but all we can do is our best to get them the safety and love they deserve! 🌹🌿

Poirot, Baloo & Silvius have a special kind of relationship! We thought at first it was just Poirot & Silvius having found love at the cafe but Baloo has now joined this couple, making it a throuple 🙀🥰

Lady Dinah's has always strived to be an inclusive and accepting place and so we are over the moon that these boys feel free enough to be themselves. 🐈‍⬛🌈🐈🌈🐈‍⬛

Purroud of you boys! 🏳️‍🌈

It’s hard to believe how much has happened over the last year. Moving, rebuilding and re-establishing Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium has been a rollercoaster! 🎢🐈

And while we’re definitely still finding our feet, there’s already so much to celebrate.

✨ Our new home: The Catty Sark ⛵️ (yes, this is what I call it now, and I will not be taking questions).

🍰 Our onsite bakery: Miss Kasumu is an absolutely brilliant baker, making our menu from scratch and filling Lady Dinah's 2.0 with some seriously delicious & vegan treats.
It was important to Freyja that the food & beverage offering at The Cat Emporium supported all animals whilst still offering our guests what they want. Our menu is free from meat & eggs and dairy is limited to additional choices like milk for coffee and cream for scones. This balance seems to be working so far!

👻 New merchandise: We’ve recently partnered with Frightening Felines to bring their beautiful handmade creations into The Cat Emporium.

🌿 Our covered Catio: The cats are LOVING their outdoor space, and it means so much to us to be able to give them outdoor space while they’re living here.

🐱 And, most importantly, our new clowder of rescue cats: Some of you won’t have met everyone yet, because introducing cats takes time. Sometimes it works beautifully, sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s okay. Every cat is different, and we’ll always let them set the pace when it comes to introductions.

There’s still plenty of tinkering happening behind the scenes. Things are a work in progress and will continue to evolve as we see what works in practice, listen to what our guests need and figure out what’s sustainable for us long-term. 😽

And believe me, when I say everything gets discussed behind the scenes… I mean EVERYTHING. 😵‍💫🙀 There are a lot of conversations happening in this little cat-shaped pocket of Greenwich 😺

Things will come, one whisker at a time, and we’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who has stuck with us, supported us, visited us, cheered us on and believed in Lady Dinah’s through all the changes. 😻💛

Wonderful news! Jinx has been reserved for Adoption! 🎉🐾🎉
It has been an honour to get to know his huge whimsical character as the first cat to walk through the doors of the new Lady Dinah’s! He will be travelling to his pur-fect fur-ever home on the 18th of August, meaning the final chance for you to send him off with a bittersweet farewell will be during our opening hours on the 16th August, 10am-5am 💌📮
Jinx has had a very chaotic journey through his life so far, travelling all the way from Turkey, so it is our biggest joy to know he will finally be able to settle once and for all!
