    Cats & Crystals is such a special place. This is where we met our sweet Silver, who was fostered through Fairy Tail Rescue and staying at this cat café. The space is incredibly clean, calm, and thoughtfully set up, you can tell how much they truly care about the cats. The staff made us feel so welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked in. They were kind, patient, and happy to answer all our questions. The café itself is beautifully decorated and full of charm, and they also sell the cutest cat items and goodies. When we adopted our cat, they even surprised us with a goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking to meet adoptable cats in a cozy, loving environment, this place is a must. So grateful for Cats & Crystals and their partnership with Fairy Tail Rescue.

    Super cute and cozy setup, I recommend the first morning slot for the best energy from the cats. The staff is very comprehensive with a complete review of rules, advice, and info on applying if you want to adopt a cat. We opted for the 70 min session, I think it's worth the extra 5$. The cats are VERY happy, you can tell they are well taken care of, chill and not stressed. A few came up to us for pets and some just played near us.

    Dinner time!

    Very great experience to relax and spend time with cats in need of love. Well worth the money and knowing it goes to a good cause. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend coming if you need time to decompress or looking to adopt a new family member!

    Already pre-adopted! Amazing

    Don't get me wrong. I love cats, but was under the impression that it was a cat cafe. Cafe, meaning they may serve drinks/refreshments or snacks. It was also labeled on heavily as a 'cat cafe' and occasionally a cat lounge. Maybe we have the wrong definition of what a 'cafe' is. All the other cat cafes I've been to served refreshments with the visit. 50 minutes of just petting cats for that price is a little odd. I would call it a cat lounge. It also seems like there's a big group of people that enter the lounge at once. In the future, I would stagger appointments because it doesn't seem fair that the first person in line gets the full 50 minutes while the last person in line gets 45 minutes. Or, it doesn't need to be 50 minutes, maybe have an option to do 30 minute visits. Another thing they were dishonest about was that it mentioned on their website that I would get an exclusive sticker. "exclusive admission sticker" I did not get one and there was no mention of one. I would have been okay with that instead of a refreshment. The cats they had in the lounge were all kittens and oldest was 2 years old. That is very cute and should be easily adopted. I hope they give senior cats more of a chance. They deserve a better chance too. You take off shoes in the lounge. Employees were nice. Was wondering what cat food they ate, but the employee didn't know. Blue collars are male and other colors and prints are female. Wish they gave that information ahead of time or introduced the cats more. This is no different than going to local pet store and petting cats for free. Except this one you have to pay because the decor is nicer. Ambiance is great. There's a high place and cat door for cats to retreat to if they get overstimulated. One cat can open the door and one has asthma. They were all playful. Many kids and families visiting too. Great place for kids! Would I come here again? Probably not. The space is a little small. There are many cat cafes around the area with better options, but I do commend this cat lounge/habitat/sanctuary since they are just starting out.

    Very fun & cute experience! I've been to several cat sanctuaries and this one was my favorite. It wasn't super crowded with people in the room as I'm used to and the cats were all playful and energetic. My boyfriend and I even considered adopting, but the cat we wanted was pre-adopted (good for that little guy). This business doesn't charge an arm and a leg for admission. Would visit again when in the area!

    Don't walk, run to this magical cat space. ‍ It was like being in a cat fairy garden. In the entry, they have amazing crystals, jewelry, stickers, etc. Definitely passes the vibe check. The rules are short and sweet (I have been to other cat cafes that have entirely too many rules) and the fact that you have to take your shoes off makes it even more comfy cozy. We did a 70 minute visit so we were able to chat with one of the owners while he fed the cats and chat for a bit. What a kind human being. Most of my visit was sitting, comfortably, on a couch with 3 cats cuddled up sleeping on or next to me. My 12 year old played with the cats that were awake. We love this place and cannot wait to go back again next time we are near the area.

    I am a huggeee cat lover, i saw this place on maps while visiting this area of cali on a lil vacation and this totally made my whole week. The cats were so cute, friendly, and very feisty! They have a lot of personalities and I can tell they're treated well. The staff is really nice and they have the cutest shop items. I also heard some cats are adoptable so they're doing a great job at giving cats a home and teaching them how to be social. Please visit this place and show them some support :D

    I love Cats & Crystals Cat Cafe in Oceanside, CA!! Not only is this place owned by an amazing woman, she has done a wonderful job at creating a beautiful immersive experience to enjoy with adoptable cats and kitties! I just recently adopted my second here and couldn't be happier. Between their patience and support they want to match you perfectly with your next family member. They also send you home with all the needed tips and supplies to keep your baby safe and happy. 1000% recommend this place, please stop by and enjoy respectfully

    I visited for the grand opening, which featured numerous vendors and crafts. However, it was a bit disappointing because, despite advertising a first-come, first-served policy, they didn't update guests when they reached full capacity. After traveling from San Diego and arriving in the afternoon, I found out they had no availability. I finally made it back and had a great experience. Admission is $20 for 50 minutes on weekdays and $25 per person on weekends. They had eight or nine cats available for adoption, and I absolutely love the adoption center they partner with--I even adopted my cat from there! All the cats come microchipped and vaccinated. The interior is beautifully designed, and each booking allows up to eight people. The staff are incredibly friendly, and one of the employees even stopped by to visit with us. The cats were all very playful and affectionate, making for a wonderful experience that supports a great cause. I highly recommend checking them out!

    I originally encountered cats and crystals before they even had a storefront and were just selling jewelry trying to open this place up so I was excited to see that they finally got to open up. The cat room itself is so adorable the decorations are absolutely amazing and the puzzles, cards, and books spread around the place are such a fun time. My friend and I booked the 30 minute slot towards the middle of the day so all of the cats were sleepy which was understandable it was so fun just to see them all snuggled up. The 30 minute flew by quickly and we were sad to go but it was a fun time. My only qualm with this place and other cat cafes that I have been to, is when children are present they tend to harass the cats and consistently get in the cats face and annoy them and their parents don't do anything. This happened for the entire 30 minutes we were in the room and although a staff member came in several times, (including to try to socialize 2 more cats who were adorable) they didn't say anything. Other than that the cats were sweet and the staff was nice. Also during our appointment the partner cafe was closed so they offered complimentary hot coffee.

    See all

    I like that this is a locally-owned business, and there is a store besides the grooming services…read more We only used the grooming services tonight, but we will be back to investigate the store another day. Rob was recommended to me for dog grooming by a person from whom I purchased a dog stroller online (apparently a friend or client of his). Setting the appointment on the phone was easy (apparently you can do this online, too), and I was given a very reasonable quote during the call, which I appreciated knowing ahead of time. So I took my two neurotic dogs for a bath and haircut, and warned him about my extra spicy chiweenie (Max) and that my terrier-dachshund mix (Malcolm) may never have been groomed before, so I wasn't sure how he would react (both former shelter dogs with trust issues). Rob listened to my stories and requests (and warnings), and then got to work. He was able to complete a full bath and groom for Malcolm, and Malcolm came out looking like a new dog! Amazing transformation and I'm told he was no trouble at all. Malcolm will definitely be back. Unfortunately Max was his *extra* spicy self, so Rob was only able to complete a bath, but Max came back none the worse for wear--just feeling like he got his way, I'm sure. He was very fluffy and fully brushed out, so he looked great and his fur is nice and soft, if not any shorter. (I was actually impressed Rob got that far! Well done!) To be fair, Max's regular groomer has spent a ton of time building the relationship with Max, and Max will let her do things he won't even let me do, so I knew it was a long shot, but he really needed a bath so I appreciate that that was accomplished. The only thing I didn't like was that the dogs have so much perfume on them I may have to rinse them or something tomorrow to get rid of the heavy scent. I can literally taste it in the air. I will know next time to ask not to use whatever that is, but if you don't like heavy scents, just be aware you have to ask to not have that put on. Rob did an excellent job with the grooming tho, and if you have a dog that's NOT neurotic and extra spicy, I highly recommend his services.

    I was able to get an appointment quickly to have my 3 year old Cocker Spaniel Jake groomed. He's…read moreshy and a bit timid, but Rob did a terrific job putting him at ease and grooming him. Highly recommend, I'm definitely going back!

I spent $$ Sunday,…read more9/7/25 Time in: 11:50am I picked-up my dog at 3:56pm [without getting notified, as i wanted to simply drop-in/check-up on my dog as I was told it would take 2 hrs, top 3 hours] Customer service: Pleasant, friendly I was told he didn't charge extra for dematting my dog. Didn't realize they charge $10 for 1/4 of the hour. Ok, didn't realize there is a time-frame for baths and dematting. It would've been nice if they were more transparent with prices. What is this material fee? Lol Anyways, I gave tip in cash. I would like to take my 2 remaining dogs here, but with a different groomer and see how that goes. Unless, I find some other reliable groomer around Oceanside. We will see.

Wished I didn't!!!I said excuse me when you get a chance could you get a bag of dog food down for me (she was stocking the shelves). She didn't say a word she put down what she had in her hand. I told she may need something long to reach it, there were some poles with little clips on them for displaying. She brought one with her. She followed be just a few feet away to the shelf, I pointed it out. She stepped up pulled it down and basically just pushed into my open arms. NOT A WORD WAS SAID. I did say thank you. I needed a 47 lb. of food then when I found it there was no way I was able to put in the basket. I was not going to ask Tracy for help. So I left in the aisle by the others. I went and paid and the cashier Sierra made the day a little better. Told her I was sending my daughter back to get the bigger bag. THEN when my daughter returned unfortunately Tracy was the cashier. My daughter just carried the 47 lb. Bag to pay for it. She was treated badly also. I know everyone has a bad day but maybe keep her busy in the back away from paying customers.
