LOCAL PARTNERING

KEEPING IT LOCAL

GARAGE COFFEE

Garage Coffee are speciality coffee roasters, founded in 2015, and based just up the road from Canterbuy Tails in Hoath, Kent. Independents supporting independents - we love it!

"We roast in small 12kg batches for optimum quality, and only roast specialty grade coffees which are always fully traceable and fairly traded. Since launching, we have been building relationships with farmers, and sourcing coffee from the same farms season after season, with plans to make trips to these farmers in the near future!" - Garage Coffee

And we partner in more than coffee! As you'll see around our cafe we use the empty coffee sacks Garage has from importing their coffee beans, and recycle them into homemade eco-friendly cat scratchers and furniture! We use them to wrap our homemade climbing apparatus and gorgeous wooden beams to create climbing spaces and enrichment for the cat crew. This helps us and garage keep everything green, circular, and as zero waste as possible.

CAT FOOD

KATKIN FRESH FOOD

We love our cats, so we feed them the very best we can to ensure their tip-top health and wellbeing! Shockingly, many mainstream (and 'higher end') brands of cat food have a very low meat content, containing lots of unclearly labelled fillers and additives, even if labelled as grain free, this does not always mean what's in there is actually meat. While we are a fully plant-based café, cats are obligate carnivores and cannot thrive on a plant-based diet, so here at Canterbury Tails we provide the best we can for their needs. Loving all animals includes providing the best you can for those you care for.

Find out more about why we feed KatKin here.

GREENWOODS LITTER

Better than standard clay-based litters - it's made from environmentally friendly,100% natural compostable plant fibres, so it's biodegradable (even the bag is paper!) so it has a minimum climate footprint, and we find it the very best litter (and we have tried LOTS!). It is also very low dust, so gentle on sensitive noses and paws, and so much easier when it comes to cleaning too.
