We strongly believe in the healing effects of nurturing bonds between humans and animals, in fact, that’s what inspired our journey and prompts our continued efforts

Positive impact on people’s lives, building confidence, improving mood and anxiety, and bringing a sense of purpose and meaning

For People

Often called Human-Animal Interaction (HAI), animal therapy or animal assisted therapy,

spending time with animals has so many benefits including social, physical and emotional health improvements.

Pause Cat Cafe opened in 2017 providing a nurturing space where humans and animals can bond and interact.

We also provide supported placements for individuals with disabilities or additional needs, such as physical disabilities, sensory limitations, learning difficulties, autism, depression and anxiety. We support people to learn skills while enjoying the therapeutic effects of being around animals.

We run a variety of projects aimed at combating loneliness and enhancing wellbeing, including engaging with the elderly, carers and working with other charities to mutually support their beneficiaries.

For Planet

Our planet is home to both ourselves and our animal companions, and it is precious! Pause

Charity is passionate about championing sustainable and ethical living. We promote reducing, reusing and recycling with local volunteer projects that care for our environment.

Based on the South Coast, we host beach cleans, where people can get together to take practical steps to nurture our environment. We also host workshops and makers’ markets to encourage ethical consumerism, supporting small suppliers and thinking differently about our individual environmental impact.

We practise what we preach at Pause Cat Cafe too…with upcycled cat climbing frames, preloved and handmade furniture and an ethically sourced vegan and vegetarian menu.

For Paws

Taking care of animals through promoting good animal welfare, rescue projects and

supporting veterinary treatment for low income households, Pause makes small grants to other registered charities including animal charities and rescue centres.

The cats who reside in Pause Cat Cafe are rescue cats as well, so we understand the value of rehoming and the efforts that go into taking care of rescue animals.

We train people in animal care, run animal welfare and care workshops, working with people of all ages. We also run smaller workshops for those with special educational needs, so we can give them the extra support and attention they need.
