Haus Cats
WanderHaus is home for three friendly & social cats: two black cats (Espresso Beansz & Iconic – they / them), and a gray cat (Sophie Hippopotamus Beans – she / her). Never feed the cats, or leave food unattended, under any circumstances. Allergic? Over-the-counter antihistamines are available in the Powder Room.

Glitter gets stuck in our cats’ fur & paws, and is subsequently swallowed when they clean themselves. Swallowing glitter is very unhealthy for the cats: so please help keep our Haus glitter free.
