Hyla's Heart to Home Cat Lounge

Long Beach, California · 6.2 mi / 10.0 km

Feline Good Social Club is a cat lounge on Atlantic Avenue in downtown Long Beach, where 35 to 50 rescue cats and kittens live together in a bright, colorful, cage-free space. All the cats come from the nonprofit rescue Long Beach Felines and are available for adoption; visitors who connect with a cat are referred to the rescue for the application. Standard visits are 50-minute lounge sessions with a ticket per person, booked online, and walk-ins are accepted when space allows. The lounge has free Wi-Fi and plenty of seating, so some people come to work or study. Children aged 7 to 15 must come with a parent or guardian, no more than two per adult, and children under 7 cannot enter. The program also includes cat yoga, sound baths, craft afternoons, dinner-time sessions, seasonal events and private group bookings. The lounge is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

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.
