About - 9 Lives Café

Meet Tamlyn

Founder & Owner

Hi, I'm Tamlyn Prosser, owner of 9 Lives Café. This venture is the culmination of years of passion, combining two of my greatest loves: cats and hospitality.

Since I was just 16 years old in 2013, I've been dedicated to the service industry, working my way through waitressing and management roles. I genuinely love connecting with people and creating joyful moments.

My cats mean everything to me, especially my nine-month-old Paxton, who joins me at the café every day because I miss him too much to leave him at home!

Inspired by my mum's never-give-up attitude, I started small and continue to grow with your support.

Our Purpose

Our Mission Statement

9 Lives Café is more than just a destination. It's a space dedicated to rescuing cats and educating the public on animal welfare. We provide a safe, loving, and hygienic environment where cats and people can enjoy each other's company.

We aim to bring awareness to the number of cats abandoned in shelters and showcase the beauty of shelter cats. Every visit supports our mission of feline companionship and adoption.

Why We're Here

Our café offers the public a unique opportunity to experience the therapeutic mental health benefits of feline companionship whilst enjoying delicious desserts.

Every purchase and visit goes directly towards the medical care, food, and shelter of our rescue residents. Together, we're changing lives—one cat at a time.
