Cool ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​⁠Cat Collective is a cat-themed gallery and boutique on East 4th Street's Retro Row in Long Beach that also houses adoptable foster cats. The shop sells cat art prints, books, ceramics, toys and treats from independent artists and makers, holds rotating art shows and cat-focused community events, and gives part of its profits to cat rescues. The foster cats come from TippedEars, a nonprofit that works with community cats, and live in a glass-fronted kitty playhouse with a catwalk and catio. Anyone can watch the cats, and visitors can go inside to play with them after signing a waiver, with no entry fee. Adults may enter alone and children aged 6 and up with a parent or guardian, two children per adult at most, and only four people are allowed in the main enclosure at a time. Adoptions go through TippedEars. The shop is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

All the cats are available for adoption through Pedro Pet Pals, which places cats in indoor homes. The lounge is open to drop-in visitors on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and weekday visits can be arranged by email. Groups are limited to six people, and children aged 7 to 15 must come with an adult. It also opens in the evening during the monthly First Thursday Art Walk. It was funded by the trust of the late actress and stuntwoman Hyla Marrow.
