Paragould, Arkansas, United States
Something Pawsitive
Something Pawsitive is a cat lounge on South Pruett Street in downtown Paragould, in northeast Arkansas, attached to Something Sweet, a bakery run by the same owner. Opened in February 2021, it houses adoptable cats from Ozzie's Legacy, a local rescue, and every cat in the lounge can be adopted; hundreds have gone home since the opening. Visitors check in at the bakery first and then pay for cat time by the 15 minutes, half hour or hour, with the longer sessions earning a discount on food and drinks from Something Sweet. Walk-ins are accepted but may have to wait when the lounge is full and are guaranteed only 30 minutes, so booking a day ahead is recommended, especially on Saturdays. Donations of time, supplies or money help care for the cats, and gift cards cover the lounge, the bakery and its sister eatery.
