FAQ
First...what is a cat lounge?
Our lounge is a place where people can relax and cuddle with adoptable cats. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment to get to know and play with our furry friends. Whether you can't have your own pet, you're an animal lover, you've never been around cats, or you just want to try something new, this is for you!

Reservations
Q. How much is admission?
A. We offer a 50-minute cat lounge session for $19.99.
Q. Why is there an admission fee to visit the cat lounge?
A. Admission is charged for your time in the lounge to cover the overhead of keeping the doors open and the cats happy. Admission pays the cats’ rent, keeps the lights on, internet connected, and buys them food, toys, and furniture to keep the lounge area comfortable. We limit the number of people entering to maintain a safe & calm environment for the benefit of resident cats.
Q. Do you have a cancellation policy?
A. You can reschedule your cat lounge session at no charge with an email to frontdesk@felinegoodsocialclub.com with at least 24 hours notice prior to your previously booked session time.
For cancellation of your lounge session, send an email to frontdesk@felinegoodsocialclub.com at least 24 hours in advance of your session time and we will send a refund less a $10 fee per order back to the original payment method.
Less Than 24-Hour Notice: We cannot process a cancellation or refund for your cat lounge session with less than 24-hour notice of your scheduled visit – no exceptions.
You can review our full policy here.
Q. Why is there an age requirement to visit the cats?
A. For the safety of the cats, children under the age of 7 are not allowed to visit the lounge. Our cats’ welfare is our top priority and we’re limiting the chance of them being overstimulated by constant excitement. Young children have a lot of energy and sometimes cats don’t appreciate their loving gestures. We realize being exposed to so many strangers increases the risk of an unpleasant incident and there is the unfortunate possibility of a serious injury, so please understand a liability waiver is required for every guest.
We’re accepting children ages 7-15 with a parent/guardian and no more than two children per adult during regular business hours. If a child you bring is aggressive or excessively excited, you may be asked to leave for the well-being of the cats and other guests. We prefer that no one pick up cats at any time and children are never allowed to pick up any cats and may only pet and play with cats in a respectful manner.
Q. Can I book Feline Good Social Club for my group?
A. Yes! We have private sessions available every day of the week at various times M/Th/F and on Sat/Sun @6pm. Our regular private session is for groups of up to 10 guests and our jumbo private session is for groups of up to 20 guests. Booking a private session at the lounge will allow minimal decorations/food in the front lobby of the lounge but unfortunately; nothing can be brought into the lounge due to cat sensitivities. Age limits for private sessions are the same as any other lounge session and all guests must be 7 & over with adult supervision for every 3 children.
Please note all private sessions must be booked at least 7 days in advance.
Lounge Details
Q. Can I bring my own cat?
A. No. All resident kitties are fully vetted and available for adoption through our partner rescue organization – Long Beach Felines. We ensure all cats have passed their wellness exam, are spayed/neutered, combo tested neg/neg for FIV/FeLV, and are up to date on all shots, flea preventative, and deworming medicine.
Q. Can I bring my own snacks or beverages?
A. Yes.
Q. Can I bring snacks for the cats?
A. No. Feline Good Social Club will provide approved snacks for the cats to enjoy. We have to monitor their diet closely, so a limited number will be available upon request.
Q. Do you have a full list of lounge rules?
A. Yes! We kindly suggest reviewing our Kitty Kommandments before visiting. We also have these rules displayed in the lounge as they will be enforced at all times.
Q. How many cats will be available to interact with?
A. We usually have up to 40-50 adult cats in the lounge – plus occasional kittens in the nursery. Our space is very limited and keeping the cats happy and healthy is our top priority. The cats have a private Retreat room for those moments that they need to revitalize themselves.
Q. How many people will be in the lounge at once?
A. Our maximum occupancy is 25 guests per hour. Cats can become overstimulated with too much excitement and their well-being is our greatest concern. Cats also love to sleep so we want to make sure the cat-to-people ratio isn’t disappointing for guests so that both cats & people are happy.
Q. Where can I park when visiting the lounge?
A. Check out our guide below!
Adoptions
Q. Can I adopt a cat I meet at Feline Good Social Club?
A. With an approved application, yes! You can access the application on our website on the Adopt A Cat page.
Q. Can I bring my cat to be put up for adoption?
A. We're sorry but Feline Good Social Club does not offer additional adoption services outside of our partnership with Long Beach Felines.
Volunteering
Q. Can I volunteer as a helper in the cat lounge?
A. Please check our volunteer with us page for more details as our volunteer needs change regularly and while it takes a community of volunteers to bring all this goodness and enjoyment to the Lounge; our most important work is not always done at the lounge. There’s plenty of administrative work which is required and we are always in need of skilled, supportive people who can help us in this area. Our current volunteer needs can be found on the Volunteer With Us page.
