Kevan Middleton Deaf Cat Partner.

Our name...

Once there was a writer who had a deaf cat. It used to sit on his desk in his studio while he wrote. The cat wasn’t an annoyance or a hindrance. It was like the other ornaments around his desk. It was there to calm him, cheer him and inspire him. Did it work?

The writer’s name was Charles Dickens.

The idea...

With great coffee, gorgeous cakes, studio and gallery space, and an evening venue on Rochester High Street, the idea behind The Deaf Cat is for people to share their ideas, inspire each other, and together, push their thinking even further.

Our mission...

Our mission is simple. To be as friendly, efficient, flexible and inexpensive as possible, while being successful enough to grow, so that we can give more people the chance they need.

Laura Brown Deaf Cat Partner.
