Kit-Tea Cat Sound Baths every fourth Thursday from 7-8 pm.

Charlie Short is a Certified Sound Healing Practitioner, professional musician, and longtime in-home cat caregiver based in Portland, OR. Using crystal singing bowls, tranquility harp, hypnotic percussion, chimes, and other acoustic instruments, he creates immersive sound experiences that encourage deep relaxation and help settle the nervous system. This one-of-a-kind evening offers a peaceful way to spend time with Milky & Coco's adoptable cats. As participants rest comfortably on yoga mats with blankets, the cats are free to explore, lounge nearby, or interact naturally on their own terms. The calm atmosphere creates a unique opportunity to connect with the cats while also giving them a chance to meet potential adopters in a relaxed, low-stress setting. Charlie's approach is welcoming, evidence-informed, and accessible to everyone. Each session is designed to support relaxation while creating a calm environment where guests can naturally spend time with Milky & Coco's very special adoptable cats, helping them become comfortable with new people and, perhaps, find their forever homes.

Send Nodez PDX  was a passion project that turned reality! Two individuals who love and have "too many plants" (according to some people.) Wanting to share the joys of plants, journaling and terrariums we decided to make it happen!  Selling plant propagations, baby plants, terrariums, junk journal kits and stickers all made with love and careful thought. The goal is to make quality things that make you happy at a price that is fair.

TERRARIUM WORKSHOP: Ever wish you could step into Jurassic Park's opening scene? Us too. We've got everything you need to build your own little jungle world: jars, substrate, decor, and plants. We'll walk you through making your first terrarium step by step, ready to take home. A 1-hour get-together; just bring yourself and a friend, and we'll handle the rest.

JUNK JOURNAL WORKSHOP: Sometimes you just want to sit with friends and journal. Grab some stickers, paper, and a highlighter, and turn a page into something worth looking back on. New to journaling or a pro, this is a great chance to meet like-minded people and pick up some new supplies. Bring your current journal (or a new one: you deserve it). We'll provide the fun, paper, glue, and decorations, and you'll leave with your own junk journal kit to use here or take home. Come hang out, grab some cute supplies, and make some friends.

Come cozy up with fellow knitters and our friend Tracy for a relaxing knitting session surrounded by the cats at Milky & Coco’s Kit-Tea Cafe!

Tracy will be leading an optional learn to knit session, with a kit available for $30 that includes a project bag, knitting needles, a tool pouch with essential notions, and a ball of Wool-Ease Worsted Acrylic/Wool Yarn. It will be a relaxing, easy project if you already know how to knit, but it is an opportunity to learn how.

Not interested in the guided project? No problem! Bring your own knitting, crochet, or sewing project and enjoy some relaxing stitch time in the company of fellow knitters, and plenty of purrs.
