The best place to interact with kittens and young cats before adoption. They are all rescues. There is no pressure to bring a cutie home, but you will no doubt fall in love with at least one or more. Such an amazing set up with relaxing areas to spend time with cats. There is a small fee for 30 mins or an hour to help keep the kitties safe, healthy and off the streets. The staff are amazing and working extremely hard to keep as many cats as possible in a safe and healthy environment. Thank you, we appreciate you ! read more

Adopted my little one here not so long ago. The adoption process was very smooth for me and only took less than 3 days (shoutout to Bobbie's Street Cats!) The staff at CatCafe Lounge and the foster were very helpful and responsive to all of my questions during the process. I've been to CatCafe Lounge about 6-7 times within these last few years, and was at their West LA location before they moved to Venice Beach. CatCafe Lounge has been my top 3 cat rescue cafe/shelters to go to in the SoCal area as a huge cat lover. During my first time at the West LA location, I was surprised to see that they transformed the outside space into a catio! It was the first I've ever seen in the 10+ shelters/cafes I've been to. Even after the move, the lounge setup was adorable and clean and had many tunnels, towers, and beds for the cats - making great use of the space in their new Venice location while also being a great source of enrichment for the cats. Both the kitten and main lounge housed many kittens/cats over the years, and they all seemed so content and well-taken care of. Most were well-mannered and very friendly to visitors. I'm so grateful to have adopted my little one here, knowing she was so well socialized and taken care of during her time at the lounge. Hugs, cuddles, and kisses from Madeline! read more

it makes me sad that people spend so much money here to adopt these cats when there are cats at the shelter that you can get for way cheaper that need to be housed. Why would you want to take these cats away from here they're living the life. But I don't understand how all the cats are so calm. I don't know if they're giving them like cat nip 24/7 or something but if I was a cat, I would not be OK with so many people in and out petting me all day. not sure how I feel about this place. The cats are cute though, and the staff is very friendly. last thing do noooot book for an hour you only need 30 mins to see and connect with all the cats they have. it's quite small read more

Rescue kittens and cats to visit, play with or just sit beside on a beach day. Most cats are paired up and friendly. Visits can be 30-60 mins. The main cat space has staircase access, kittens are on the 1st floor. read more

The best cat cafe I've ever been to! This place is absolutely fantastic. There is lots of room and lots of cats to play, snuggle, and just enjoy from afar! The space is very large, which allows them to have a lot of cats. There is a kitten room that is separate from the adult cats that customers still have access to! The kittens are so much fun to play with and they are so cuddly. There is also an enclosed patio for the adult cats to get some fresh air, sunshine, and great playtime! Tickets are required to enter, but it comes with a complementary drink! They have only dairy free options, but still a large menu. They take cash and credit card. There is also free parking! The café is located on the second floor of a shopping center so if it's your first visit, it might be kind of hard to find, but just follow the paw prints on the sidewalk! I'm not sure if they have an elevator, but everyone that works there is very nice: so give them a call if an elevator is required! read more

Went in for a visit. Came out a cat dad. The Cat Lounge Café is the real deal. What immediately stood out is how well the cats are treated -- they have full freedom to roam, plenty of toys to keep them entertained, and they're well fed and cared for. You can tell this place genuinely prioritizes making it a warm, comfortable space for the cats while they wait for their forever home. It's not a shelter -- it feels like a home. The staff made the whole adoption experience seamless. Jude especially was incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable -- exactly the kind of person you want guiding you through the process. The rest of the team matched that same energy, and it made everything feel easy and stress-free from start to finish. My girlfriend and I couldn't be happier -- we found our girl Pinky, and she's already stolen our hearts. 10 out of 10, would recommend this café to anyone thinking about adopting. Don't hesitate, just go. read more

Absolutely love CatCafe Lounge! The price for entry is a tad steep ($35), but knowing that all the cats are adoptable and treated so lovingly by the staff makes it so worth it. There are so many cats at the lounge that even if many of the cats are sleeping, you will likely still find some active and ready to play or be pet. There are three areas: the main section, the kitten room, and the catio (cat patio). The cats seem so well cared for, and the environment is very clean, so it makes me really happy that this is such a popular spot for people to go to to enjoy the company of these animals or consider their future pet! read more

+ Friendly cats. Lots of toys lying around to play with the cats. + They provide disposable socks to wear over your current socks. . You remove your shoes before entering the cat lounge. + There's hand sanitizer available upon entry/exit. + Peaceful ambience. + Nice, accommodating, helpful staff. Despite my cat-allergies, I survived my 30min session with these feline friends. + The parking situation here obliterates the one for the other LA cat cafe. Free and plenty here at CatCafe Lounge. (Parking at the other LA cat cafe is paid and packed.) - They don't respond to emails. I had inquired 2 weeks prior about accommodations for cat allergies but unfortunately didn't receive early help. - They don't serve food here. Only drinks. Mostly caffeinated stuff. . Paid $20 for my 30min visit. Not sure why NFC (Garmin Pay & Google Pay) weren't working for that payment, yet it was working earlier for the juice box I bought here. read more

Update: Study Sessions have returned but at a terrible and huge mark up - in less than 6 months, the price has raised from a reasonable $40 to an astronomical $70 ($85 without ID). Session times have also changed, previously being a 4 hour session with drinks included - now 3 hours and no inclusions. This is over a 100% markup when accounting for prices and loss of time. This is meant to be a "discounted" price for students to encourage them to visit and study, this is not the case and not viable. In fact, it is greedy. Disappointed in this company and brand. read more

.They charge $55 per person for each visit and appear to encourage additional spending. I have no doubt that the employees are passionate about their work, but they say the process of adopting a cat and the organization's policies are beyond their control. To me, the place looks like a business. read more

I came as part of an adaptation process to meet the cats, so this is not the usual guest reservation experience. However the staff are some of the most wonderful people and absolutely cares for their flurry friends without question. The cats are given full access to the whole space, they own the place and we are just guests. Most of them are absolutely comfortable with people walking around so you can tell they are definitely well treated. They do have a coffee bar that I ended up getting a black. Coffee is decent, but you didn't come here for the coffee. You came to spend time with flurry friends. Prices are very reasonable as well. You can't go wrong if you just want a couple hours away from the busy day and be accompanied by some very friendly cats! If you are looking to adopt a cat they do work with KittenRescue so you are in wonderful hands. The process is smooth, quick, and just overall a very pleasant experience. read more

CatCafe Lounge - Louise. One of the 2 bonded sisters I came for as part of the meet & greet for adoption. - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

This is a cute cat cafe where you reserve time to pet, play and just hangout with cats and kittens. Theres a main room, a smaller room with kittens and even a catio outside. Theres plenty of seating and cat toys. Some really cool artwork is hanging along the walls. The staff was really nice and informative. You can actually adopt here and they work with a shelter. Being a cafe, they have some drinks you can order and they'll bring it to you. I ordered a hot oat latte. I have a cat allergy so I waited in the waiting area but theres windows so you can view inside the cat areas. Parking was easy since we got there when it opened but the area looks a little small. And some spaces are tight. But theres also street parking. All in all a great experience for our group! read more

10's 10's 10's. 10's across the board! This place was amazing. We frequently enjoy our local cat cafe in San Francisco, but this place was so much better. THEY HAVE A KITTEN ROOM. That should be enough. But if it's not, the adult cats were super friendly and adorable. You are allowed to pick up and hold the cats. Not sure the $20 upgrade for kitty treats is worth the price (it's a tiny ketchup-container sized portion of freeze dried chicken, maybe 7 pieces). But the cost of admission was 1000% worth it. Super friendly staff. Very clean. Plenty of space. Well structured and organized. I could live here. If only I could afford to buy 24/7 access. read more

Super cute cat cafe. They had two specific rooms. The first floor was a small room with seven cats. The upstairs contains a much larger area with 22 cats at the time we were there. The cats were all adorable and there were plenty of toys to play with. Would recommend if you are into cats! read more

Had so much fun visiting CatCafe Lounge last weekend with my husband! The kitties look so well cared for and are clearly happy here. Every one of the staff was super friendly, and when we asked about the different cats around they were very knowledgeable about each one's temperaments and needs. We alternated between the indoor and outdoor areas as well as the kitten room - it's so hard not to fall in love in here :) It was therapeutic playing with and hanging out with the cats here. We can't wait to be back! There is open parking in the lot on the weekend; weekdays it's shared with another business in the lot. read more

We truly enjoyed our visit at CatCafe Lounge on a Sunday morning. Not only did we get to sip delicious coffee, we also spent time playing with these sweet cats. As soon as we came in the staff were very welcoming and engaging. We had a reservation for party of 5. We were tended to right away. They explained the process and to make sure our hands our clean as to protect the cats and also ourselves. All the cats are vetted. If you're looking into fostering and/or adopting cats please visit CatCafe Lounge. Your heart will melt just by seeing and interacting with all these sweet cats. I wanted to take all of them home. We will be visiting again in May. read more

I love supporting this place because they save so many kitties. I do wish they'd allow a bit more time and had parking but I know they will do more good for the kitties with so much more foot traffic here than at their old location. If you are looking to adopt or just spend some time with some little cuties, check this place out. read more

Be careful! This place doesn't give refunds when they deny entry because there are not enough adults in your group. Complete scam.

Heaven if you are a cat lover! Went here for the first time with kids and all of us had a good time. Place is not that big but had enough friendly cats to keep you entertain. Staff were friendly and the price is reasonable in my opinion. Their onsite parking is not that big but there were decent empty street meter parking nearby. Overall, I will definitely again. read more

My daughter loves cats & this was perfect. It was so cute! Our first time. They have the little cafe right when you walk in. This lovely girl welcomed us and laid out all the does and don't(s), bathroom is available, and merch! Also, WEAR or TAKE SOCKS, they don't allow shoes in the cat lounge but they also offer the disposable socks and or cool socks to buy! BUT the cats were all so sweet and calm and there were definitely some silly ones too ! Will be coming back :) read more

Had so much fun ! Was greeted so kindly by the staff, even went as far to inform us about where their parking was so we didn't have to pay. They had many areas to interact with the cats, and overall the atmosphere of the place was calming and pleasant.

If heaven had a coffee shop, it would have... a kitten room. Seriously, you can sip your latte while playing with adorable kittens--need I say more? But I will, because the coffee is actually good, and the staff are just as warm and lovely as the fur babies. Heads-up: you do have to walk upstairs to get there, so keep that in mind. But once you're in, it's pure serotonin magic. Anytime you need a mood boost, this is the spot. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! The staff is amazing and so informative! The cats/kittens, also amazing! Of course you can't just expect to cuddle with cats, they take their time and eventually come up to you for attention or to play. There's a mix of personalities & it's highly entertaining to watch. The coffee itself is just fine but let's be honest, we are there for the cats not the coffee. You can tell that the staff truly cares about the cats. If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. read more

Cat Cafe Lounge is awesome! I've been here twice now and it's always so fun to pet and play with the cats. This is a great place if you're looking to adopt or just looking to spend sometimes with some friendly felines. I always take my out of town friends here because they're amazed at the concept of a cat cafe. Reservations cost $35 per person for 1hr and 10min with the cats. All of the proceeds go right to the cats which I think justifies the price! Make sure to be on time for your reservation to get the most out of your time. They do accept walk-ins but it's best to reserve ahead. Also remember to wear socks! You will need to take your shoes off to go in the cat room. If not they do provide disposable socks but they fall off easily so it's best to bring your own. You are allowed to pick up the cats but you have to be sitting on the floor/chair, they don't allow you to do it standing up. The rooms are all very clean and calm and they even have an outdoor catio. Don't expect all the cats to be active and lively. There's always a large number of cats sleeping because they do sleep during the day. But there's always at least half that are awake. The kittens in the kitten room are usually pretty sleepy when I go in the late afternoon but it's still so fun to pet them and cuddle and play with the ones who are awake! The staff there are so nice and helpful and will answer any questions you have and can give more insights into their personalities. read more

Get on Cat Café Lounge website to reserve a time, read & sign a liability waiver, pay via credit card. $35/hour for a visit to their 2nd story catery.  Go up a long set of stairs in the middle of the building. No wheel chair access as far as I could see. Get briefed on what to or not do.  1) Great Room has cat trees, shelves, sofas for cats & humans and contained about 5 cats playing, lounging, hiding, sleeping.  Sūdoku, grey & white, big old gruff looking tom was a lover who liked to lick me and my fingers which is a great honor especially after applying sanitizer.  2) Kitten glassed in pen housed two adorable 2 month old tiny kitties. You can enter the pen after a short intro by one of the staff.  3) Catio outdoor had one half awake, amiable cat on a shelf at petable height.  4) Side room had cats needing more social skills & interaction to transition to the great room. Chiquita was really friendly wanting pets and sitting at my feet. The rest of the 5 cats were more reserved.   5) There is a chill out room for the cats to get away from humans.  There weren't as many cats as I expected in the great room on the day of my visit. Café is a misnomer since there is no coffee, tea, etc.  All that didn't really matter since I already have two cats at home. My reason to visit was to relive interacting with kittens because I missed the kittenhood of my own cats which is a very short window of time. Also, I thought the $35 donation would help buy a lot of cat food.  CCL also facilitates cat adoption. If you find a cat friend that you really like, there is a way to become an adoptive cat parent. That service of pairing cats to new owners is what makes CCL so great.  5 stars.  PS  Rather small parking lot in front as well as street meter parking (read posted signs for restrictions) which were empty on a Wednesday early afternoon. read more
