Meowbout Us
What's a cat lounge?
It's pretty simple—and amazing! Our cat lounge is a large foster home for cats, where you can play, relax and interact with them and enjoy treats for yourself. Our admission fee makes it possible for us to provide a cage-free home for these felines. Learn more about our admission prices.

We are a private, veteran-owned business that partners with shelters/rescues, local community artisans and vendors to serve our community. Our work is sustained largely through entry fees and our shop.

What else should I know before coming?
​​Assumed risk
We bring in cats who are good candidates for this type of environment. That said, rescue cats have experienced trauma. Cats have claws and teeth, so enter at your own assumption of risk.
​
Booking details
We also offer many discounts and specials—MILITARY, 1ST RESPONDER, SHIPYARD, EDUCATORS, STUDENTS AND MORE! Walk-ins are always welcome with space availability. Booking online is an option as well so you are guaranteed a spot during that timeframe.
​
Your kids and pets
This is only space for the rescue cats to receive interaction from the community, and not for pets to accompany their owners, so please leave your own fur babies at home. Children under 7 are only permitted certain days of the week, with adult supervision. Ages 15 and up are permitted to be dropped off with a signed waiver from an adult.

Meet the owners
Our founders Kim & Philip!
After 26 years of military life, we can now focus on our passion for helping animals as well as the community. Kim was a teacher for 24 years and has been a foster working with local organizations, as well as supporting the TNR (trap-neuter-release) efforts of feral cats in Hampton Roads. Philip has his BS in HR Management and has volunteered for PAWs for many years.
