KITTEN LOUNGE LIFE-SAVING POPUP MISSION

​A little bit of context
Every spring & summer (and sometimes fall!) roughly 10,000 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 (even across dogs!). A few rescue groups with kitten nursery resources pull a portion of these Bottle Babies (as long as they have space capacity) and nurse them to adoptable age via on-site care givers and fosters. HERE IS THE ISSUE fosters and rescue adoption events do not have the exposure to move the volume of adoptable age kittens needed to open up space for new Bottle Baby care taking. No pun intended, this is a huge bottleneck to saving more kitten lives.

Here’s what we’re doing about it
​ADOPTABLE AGE KITTENS WILL GO TO CatCafe Lounge's Kitten Lounge where you will literally be covered in a pile of adorable kittens! Our rescue partners from Kitten Rescue and Stray Cat Alliance couldn't be more excited!
The BEST part about the Kitten Lounge is the kittens will be appropriately socialized with other kittens (Single Kitten Syndrome is a REAL thing), potential adopters will get the opportunity to meet and play with the kittens to ensure they are matched with the right personality, and CatCafe Lounge is aiding their rescue partners in saving more kittens this Kitten Season!
