Whiskers Cat Lounge
Whiskers Cat Lounge is a cat lounge and adoption satellite of Heartland Humane Shelter & Care, the Benton County shelter, located inside the shelter's Cat's Meow Thrift Shop on NW Kings Boulevard in northwest Corvallis. It had its grand opening together with the relocated thrift shop in April 2026 and combines a snack bar and small retail area with a lounge where adoptable cats from the shelter live and roam freely. Visitors book 50-minute sessions online, with walk-ins admitted as space allows, and the room holds up to eight people per hour. The session fee supports the care of the cats at the lounge and at the main shelter. Visitors must be at least 8, children under 13 need an adult guardian, and all guests sign a waiver. Cats can be adopted through Heartland Humane, and the lounge hosts craft and painting classes, yoga, bingo and private bookings.
