⚠️ SAFETY & EVENT GUIDELINES:
To keep both our guests and kittens safe and happy:
* All kitten interactions are supervised by staff at all times
* Kittens must be handled gently and calmly — no chasing, squeezing, or rough play
* Guests must remain seated while holding kittens
* Hand sanitizing is required before and after handling kittens
* If a kitten shows signs of stress, it will be given a break immediately
* No outside animals permitted
* Guests with known animal allergies or sensitivities should take precautions
* By attending, guests acknowledge there is inherent risk when interacting with animals (minor scratches, etc.)
Children must be closely supervised by their adult at all times (1 adult per child is strongly recommended for younger participants).
A liability waiver must be signed by all participants (or a parent/guardian) at the beginning of the event prior to participation.
Lily Pad Pottery staff reserves the right to ask any guest to leave at any time, for any reason, to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests and animals.
