A Statement from Capybara Café

We’ve received several inquiries regarding rumors that our Fort Lauderdale location will close on October 14. We want to be clear: Capybara Café Fort Lauderdale is not closing, and there are no plans to close any of our locations.

We also want to address recent allegations concerning the health and welfare of our animals.

Prior to regulatory inspections, we arranged for a veterinarian to examine our animals. On October 6, the USDA conducted an inspection of our Fort Lauderdale location. The official report states:

“No non-compliant items identified during this inspection.”

While the original allegations received considerable media attention, these documented findings deserve equal consideration. We respect the right to peaceful advocacy, but believe public discussions about animal welfare should be based on verified information rather than speculation.

Meanwhile, our work continues. Noah’s Ark Sanctuary recently contributed $3,000 to FWRA’s disaster relief efforts, supporting wildlife rehabilitators in Northwest Florida affected by hurricane damage. We’re also grateful to our partners at Woodside Wildlife Rescue for collecting and delivering much-needed supplies.

We appreciate the continued support of our guests, community, and fellow wildlife organizations.

Our focus remains where it belongs: providing responsible animal care, educating the public, and supporting wildlife welfare.

Our mission is about making a difference, not engaging in distractions.

WAIT… THERE’S A NEW CAPYBARA CAFE IN SOUTH FLORIDA?! 😭🦫☕️

Yes… you can actually hang out and feed capybaras while you’re here. They also have animals like maras, ferrets, bunnies and reptiles, with other experiences featuring animals like armadillos, opossums and fennec foxes.

Nobody told them to do this.

Capybaras are herd animals, and this is what they do when they feel safe: pile up, close their eyes, and nap together.

Come meet the crew and see it for yourself.

📅 Book your encounter today. Link in bio!

We were hosted today by the capycafefl in Fort Lauderdale. They also have a Location in St. Pete, which we will be visiting soon and another in St. Augustine, but I highly recommend this for all ages. We had an absolute blast.

The capybara‘s are like giant hamster lap dogs and you can feed them lettuce and pet them. There’s also lots of other exotic animals and other experiences so make sure you explore all of those.

We had a great time meeting a little armadillo, a fox and a porcupine today in their safari experience! Make sure you make your bookings ahead of time because it’s a very popular place and it books up quickly , it’s in the @thethrivedistrict go check it out and tell them I sent you. taken in Thrive District by @capycafefl

The Capybara Cafe is officially open in Broward County 🦫🌴 I pulled up to the grand opening in Fort Lauderdale and got to hang with capybaras, lemurs, parrots, a fennec fox, ferrets, and more. Definitely a cute family-friendly experience to check out inside Thrive District.
