All cats. Every last one of them. Your cats. Our cats. Especially black cats. We love cats so much we just had to open Vancouver's only all-cat supply store. At Happy Cat Feline Essentials we have everything you need for the happiest, healthiest cat possible.
Yep! We have moved! You can now find us at 4450 Fraser Street, 11am - 7pm everyday.
We appreciate you wearing a mask if you plan to stay awhile, but they are not required! Thank you to our customers for their support in helping keep our people safe.
Select pick up at check out, and wait for an email notification telling you your order is ready for pick up! Then pop by the store and tell staff you are picking up an order. Usually just the name on the order is fine, but its also good to have a copy of the email and order no. as well. Pick up orders are usually ready within an hour, but can take up to 24 hours depending on stock location.
Our local delivery service has become a whole thing, and a much bigger part of our business than we ever imagined because of COVID! It usually runs pretty smoothly and people seem to like it! We are making improvements all the time, and also will be reassessing our schedule in the near future so watch this space if we don’t come to you yet.
Find out the details of where we deliver and when on this page.
As a small team we have to decide where to focus our efforts, and currently our brick + mortar store and local delivery service keeps us busy enough! That means we don’t offer shipping at this time.
One of the big benefits of our new location is parking availability. There is free street parking out front and on the side streets. The underground parkade will also be available soon!
Otherwise if you don't mind a short walk, the No Frills building on the next block always has lots of free available parking in it's underground parkade.
If you travel by bicycle, we now have three racks outside our shop. If you miss the pink cat face rack do not fear, we have plans to install it again!
Generally yes we love it! However we would like all our feline visitors to feel safe and happy – the majority of cats would probably feel more comfortable staying at home. You know your cat! Some cats are naturally more bold and inquisitive and usually do the best browsing.
We reserve the right to recommend that the cat be taken home if stressed by the experience.
Please have your cat on a harness (or in a carrier if you are coming to get a harness!).
We would LOVE to advise you on how to have safe outside time with your cat - currently in-store harness fittings are on hold as we adjust to our new location - thank you for your understanding!
If you bring your cat in for a harness fitting without an appointment, we may not have the time to see your cat and provide that one-to-one service.
Not at this time! We find that our kitty visitors prefer it that way.
Maybe! We are always open to hearing what foods work for you and your cats. We carefully select all the foods we carry, taking into consideration many aspects such as: nutritional profile, texture, protein, recipe, price, quality of ingredients, ethics of brand, availability, palatability etc. By doing so we aim to maximise the variety we offer within our limited space. As such sometimes we can special order brands and products that we don’t hold in stock just for you! If you would like to enquire about a particular product please send us a message.
Sure! We spend a lot of our time helping our customers find a food that works for both their cat and them. Feel free to come speak to us in person, or send us a message! Sometimes it can be hard to reach us on the phone, and these kinds of conversations can be lengthy.
If an item is out of stock for longer than a couple of weeks, it usually it means there is a backorder on it, or there’s a shipping delay, or it has been discontinued or sometimes we just don’t know why we can’t get it temporarily!
Feel free to send us a message if you’d like an ETA on something in particular.
