Each cat in the café has a special bond with one or more members of the team, affectionately named their ‘Mum’ or ‘Dad’. Each cat’s ‘pawrent’ has designed a task fitting their cat’s requirements;
As well as meeting the feline team, candidates will be allocated time with key members of the human crew including staff, volunteers and regular customers.

The café hopes to use the event to recruit several staff for the busy holiday period and sees this event as a quirky way to make sure the cats get the purrfect human attendants to keep them in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
