TINY BEANS | KITTEN LOUNGE
Are you ready for KITTENS?! Our life-saving Kitten Lounge is filled with teeny tiny adorable (and adoptable!) KITTENS! Our annual life saving summer initiative, Tiny Beans Kitten Lounge, originated in 2019 at an off-site location in Downtown Los Angeles. This year, we are bringing our Kitten Lounge in-house at CatCafe Lounge in West Los Angeles. We are redesigning our space so we can house adults and itty bitty teeny tiny kittens, safely.
As Los Angeles's only nonprofit Cat Cafe, our initiatives are inspired by saving more lives. This is why CatCafe Lounge creates meaningful programs that are truly life-saving.

Why our Kitten Lounge is important to Los Angeles

Kitten Season
From spring to fall tens of thousands of kittens pounce into LA during kitten season (hold the awwwws) - and most of them are euthanized due to lack of shelter space and resources. While rescue groups in LA fight to save as many as they can (yaaaaay), there is still a bottle neck in the system that hinders saving these kittens. |

Here’s the problem
During kitten season, the 8 week and under (Bottle Babies) category are the largest population being euthanized in LA shelters. A few rescue groups with either foster networks or kitten nursery resources pull a portion of these Bottle Babies and nurse them to adoptable age. HERE IS THE ISSUE, fosters and rescue adoption events do not have the exposure to move the high volume of adoptable age kittens. This creates a bottle neck of adoptable age kittens clogging up valuable kitten fosters. |
Here's what we're doing to help save kittens
Once kittens are adoption ready, they will move to the Kitten Lounge to find their furever homes. This frees up fosters to be able to take in vulnerable kittens until they are an adoptable.
The BEST part about our Kitten Lounge is that YOU can cuddle under a pile of all the adoptable kittens. We LOVE do good, feel good moments, and we can't wait to bring this life-saving event to LA again!
