Zora
Zora is as bold as her distinctive half-moon face is striking! For such a small creature, she has big appetites and she's not shy when it comes to voicing them. Whether she's yelling for food despite having just been fed, or purring loudly while snoozing on one of our laps, this little lady knows what she likes.
Irie
Much like her best pal and sister, Zora, Irie is playful and affectionate. When she's in the mood for cuddles, she'll roll onto her back for belly rubs and her whole body will vibrate with happiness if she approves of your technique. She's missing one of her back paws due to a complication that arose when she was born, but this hasn't slowed her down! She chases and pounces on toys and climbs up scratching posts with just as much gusto as her step siblings.
Daz
Agatha
Rosalind
Sally
Sally was born in March 2021 and is a tiny black panther with a big purrsonality! If there isn't a cat carer around to entertain her, she is more than happy to make her own fun. When she first came to live at Lady Dinah's, she was very fond of leaping into laundry bags while the wait staff attempted to set up for the day. Sally is a total sweetheart and when playtime is over she can often be found snoozing away on the big scratcher in the upper basement or a shelf in the tearoom. She absolutely adores her mum, Shadow, who gave Sally her distinctively large eyes and little nose.
Sally is available for adoption! She will need to be rehomed with Shadow. If you're interested in adopting the girls, please contact our partner shelter, The Scratching Post Cat Rescue.
Shadow
Shadow was born in late 2019 or early 2020 and is Sally's mama! Her massive bug-eyes and super-soft fur mean that she is often the subject of many customers' adoring gazes. Shadow is a bit of a diva and, though she's a relatively recent arrival, she likes to think of herself as the Queen of the Café! She's a vocal girl and isn't afraid to shout at the team if we're not fulfilling her wishes (which often amount to the demand of more food). Although Shadow loves her daughter Sally, she is also very close with Agatha and Rosalind! It's not uncommon to find her grooming one of the girls or sleeping close to them.
If you're interested in adopting the girls, please contact our partner shelter, The Scratching Post Cat Rescue.
Layla
Layla was born in March 2020 and was adopted by us in August 2021 as her former owners were unable to keep her. Layla is a livewire and loves to play! She'll happily spend her days chasing a string or a cable tie up and down the floor to ceiling scratching post in the tearoom, and loves to leap and dart around like crazy. She can be a little shy when meeting new faces, but an outstretched finger to sniff or a toy dangled a few feet in front of her should help her warm to you!
Layla is one of our permanent residents.
Jack
Jack was born in May 2021 and is a total sweetie. He loves to play and can often be found zooming around the cafe at high speed - so watch your feet! When he's not operating at 100mph, Jack loves to sleep up high on the tearoom shelves, so if you can't find him it's best to look up! Jack has also formed a firm friendship with Daz and the Lord of The Rings kittens and it's not uncommon to find them napping together or grooming each other. They're such cuties!
Jack is one of our foster cats, but we are yet to make a decision on when he will be available for adoption. Jack will need to be rehomed together with his brother, Daniels.
Daniels
The other half of the Whiskey Twins! Daniels is Jack's brother and was also born in May 2021. Daniels is a little more chilled out than his twin and has a real penchant for cuddles - he loves to rub against our staff members' ankles to demand a stroke! Don't be fooled though; he also loves to play when he's in the mood! When he's not being a cuddlebug, he can often be found curled up in the tearoom napping with his brother or any of the other cats. He loves them all!
Daniels is one of our foster cats, but we are yet to make a decision on when he will be available for adoption. Daniels will need to be rehomed together with his brother, Jack.
Sam
Sam is part of the Lord of The Rings kitten crew! Sam was born in June 2021 and arrived at Lady Dinah's in October 2021 along with his sisters: Frodo, Gimli, Legolas, Merry and Pippin. Sam, as the only male kitten in their litter, is super protective of his sisters and can often be found napping alongside them with a gentle paw on their heads. Though he tends to be a chilled-out, independent little lad, he has a tendency to go crazy and loves to dart around the basement chasing any toy he can find!
Sam is one of our permanent residents.
Frodo
Frodo is the cutest little sweetheart! She loves to cuddle and it's not rare to find her lazing around on the laps or knees of staff members or guests. She's a glamorous lady and knows she's beautiful; she loves to show off! Though she loves to cuddle, she also loves to play and can usually be found chasing feathers around the cafe.
Frodo is one of our permanent residents.
Legolas
The biggest cuddlebug the café has ever seen! There is nothing this sweet girl loves more than a fuss and a cuddle: her favourite bed is a nice warm lap. If Legolas chooses you, beware; she'll snuggle down and fall into a deep sleep before you know it! Watch out though...Legolas has a bit of a thing for human food and no matter how adorable she may look, make sure she doesn't try to steal your scones!
Legolas is one of our permanent residents.
Gimli
Gimli is the princess of the Lord of the Rings clan! This dainty little lady loves to prance around the cafe delighting her adoring audience. If she's not being flourished with love, she'll be more than content lazing around in a fluffy bed with her long legs dangling. Like her sister Legolas, Gimli is a sly fox and enjoys a nibble on scones and jam, so there always needs to be an extra eye watching out for her and her fiendish ways!
Gimli is one of our permanent residents.
Merry
Merry is a little cutie! Her enormous ears and acrobatic sleeping positions are often what first draw our guests to little Merry. She's all about playtime and the best way to her heart is through dangling a toy in her direction rather than giving her a cuddle! Merry loves to show off her jumping ability, so flick a toy in the air and watch her leap after it!
Merry is one of our permanent residents.
Pippin
Our resident floof! Little Pippin is the only long-haired Lord of the Rings kitten and loves to make her beauty known to guests. She enjoys lazing around on high shelves and being admired, but will go crazy when a toy is in sight. Pippin is also partial to a cuddle or two and her favourite beds tend to be the coats and bags of guests - watch out, or she'll be fast asleep on your jacket in no time!
Pippin is one of our permanent residents.
Lysander
Lysander is a member of our Shakespeare litter! He came to the Emporium at the end of 2021 with his brother Iago and two sisters, Hero and Puck. These little beauties were born in August 2021. Lysander is the bravest of the bunch and exudes Big Brother energy. Not in the sinister, Orwellian way.
He thinks of himself as a celebrity (all cats do, to be fair... but some are the attention-seeking kind while others are more reclusive) and prefers for you to approach him. He'll wait patiently for cuddles rather than demand them. He can often be found lounging in a rose bed in the Tearoom, but is also keen on playing!
Lysander is one of our permanent residents.
Hero
Hero is an energetic little lady! Her hints aren't subtle when she's in a frolicsome mood. Sometimes she's so eager to play that she'll launch herself at toys, so you'd better be prepared for some active playtime if you engage her in a game. She especially likes noisy toys, such as something that jangles or rustles. She also likes to chase balls around the floor.If you visit on a day where she'd prefer cuddles to playtime, bear in mind that she's a fan of butt pats. Couple some firm pats with a heap of praise and she'll be a happy girl.
Hero is one of our permanent residents.
Puck
In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Puck is a mischievous fairy who keeps the audience entertained with his quick-witted remarks and prankish antics. At Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium, Puck is a tiny tuxedo cat who delights everyone by zooming around and generally being almost too cute to look at.
Our Puck is a girl and loves to chase balls. Other than that, she's quite similar to her namesake! She's got a big purrsonality that belies her actual size, and she likes to ingratiate herself with our guests. Give those gorgeous cheeks of hers a rub and you may be treated to her impressively loud purrs!
Puck is one of our permanent residents.
Iago
Despite being born on the same day as his brother and sisters, Iago is the baby of the Shakespeare troupe. This little dude requires a lot of attention and has no qualms about crying out for cuddles when there is a cat carer nearby. We are happy to oblige, of course! He likes to relax in toy boxes and the rose beds in our Tearoom, so don't hesitate to tickle his chin if you see him and he's not snoozing.
When it comes to playtime, Iago likes any toy that Hero is interested in. He's a typical little brother in that way!
Iago is one of our permanent residents.
