Save the Meow Meows Cat Lounge
Yucca Valley, California
Save the Meow Meows Cat Lounge is a rescue cat lounge on Yucca Trail in Yucca Valley, in the Morongo Basin on the way to Joshua Tree National Park. It is run by the nonprofit FAR Side Journey, which takes in cats from high-kill shelters in Southern California and works with other rescues and local shelters. The lounge opened in May 2023. Visitors pay a small entry fee, with a lower rate for children under 12, and can stay with the cats for as long as they like; entry includes treats to give the cats and a toy. No reservation is needed, and groups of 10 or more are asked to call ahead. All the cats are adoptable, and staff handle applications on site. A storefront sells snacks, drinks, clothing and pet supplies, and the lounge can be booked for private events.
