About us

We are the first (and only) nonprofit cat café in Omaha, Nebraska. Our goal is to create meaningful, authentic connections between people and rescue cats.

We accomplish this mission by offering an open-concept cat shelter, facilitating adoptions, and educating Omaha metro cat lovers.

Our cafe serves as a sanctuary, offering a safe, loving, and cage-free environment while cats await forever homes. We also operate our own rescue, making us unique from other cat cafes.

Our
rescue

Felius cats are rescued from the streets either by our rescue directly or through partnership rescue organizations, and we accept the occasional owner surrender. Our unique cage-free shelter provides a safe space for these animals, where Omaha community members can bond over their mutual love of cats. Since starting our rescue in 2019, we have helped over 2,500 Omaha metro cats.

Our adoptions

With over 1,600 adoptions under our belt, we match rescue cats with the best possible home. We pride ourselves on thoroughly vetting each applicant and educating them on the nuances of pet ownership. What also makes our rescue unique is our ability to give cats a stress-free experience. From their initial stay in one of our loving foster homes, all the way through introduction into our cat playroom, we always have their best interest at heart.

Our community engagement

Felius offers a unique space for Omaha cat advocates to connect, engage, and share their passion for rescue. Over 45,000 community members have visited our café over the years and shared their stories of rescue and adoption, spreading our mission across the Omaha metro. We also bring them together during special events, like our outdoor shelter building workshops. We are also extremely lucky to have passionate and engaged volunteers who have donated over 208,000 hours to our mission.
