What, you ask, is Kitty Pause Kitty Café? It’s a feline activity center offering a variety of planned activities throughout each week in addition to open visitation times.
Kitty Pause will host many events with and around the kitties such as Yoga with Cats, Coloring with Cats, Bingo with Cats and more. Pick out gifts for yourself and your cat-loving friends in the Katnip Boutique. Work and school are always more fun with a kitty companion, so we have free WiFi to keep you connected.

FOUNDER & CEO MARSHA HAM
Hi!
I have had a long-term loving relationship with rescue cats. I adopted my first rescue cat, Hannibal, not long after I moved to Phoenix in 1990. Over the years since then, I have provided a loving home to a total of 11 cats. I now have a kitty family of seven cats including one special needs kitty, Harley.
In 2017 I was gifted with a visit to Kit Tea Cat Café in San Francisco. My friend Liz and I had a wonderful time drinking Japanese tea and playing with the cats. I came away thinking, “I could do that!”
In 2019, I retired from my fulltime position with A.T. Still University to develop and launch Kitty Pause Kitty Café.
Kitty Pause will be a hub for cat-centered activities designed to create a sense of joyfulness for both the visitors and the cats.
Kitty Pause will be one of Saving One Life’s adoption centers. You can get to know a potential new kitty member for your family in a great open setting. You also can engage in activities such as Yoga with Cats, Bingo with Cats and much more.
Come join the Kitty Pause family!

SAY HI! TO GRETA
Greta picked me right before I was moving back to Arizona from Connecticut in 2015, Greta jumped up on the check-out desk at the vet’s office and rolled over on her back and started purring when I rubbed her belly. “Does she typically do this?” I asked. “No.” Needless to say, I adopted Greta and took her home the next day. Three weeks later she made the 2,000-mile trip across the country with her new housemates, Sage and Tigger, and me. She has ruled the family as the matriarch ever since.
A Special Thanks to Our Rescue Partner
Saving One Life is excited to partner with Kitty Pause Kitty Café to showcase our fabulous felines in an inviting and comfortable space. We see Kitty Pause becoming a hub for feline lovers from around the Valley – a gathering place to enjoy feline company, find a forever feline friend and to participate in fun feline-oriented activities. As owner Marsha Ham says, Kitty Pause Kitty Café is “THE place to pause and play with feline friends!”
