Unlike most cat cafés, the Happy Cat Café requires that visitors schedule their visits ahead of time, and in large groups. They act as a cat themed party venue, with specialized events like cat yoga parties as well as more traditional events involving food and cats. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Happy Cat Café was shutdown for most of 2020, during which they performed renovations, and re-opened on January 2, 2021 but only for one-hour events for small groups.[108]
