Welcome to The Cat Adoption Lounge in Whittier, CA.

Mary’s Kit-Cat Adoption Lounge, Inc.

Hello. My name is Mary Venegas and I love Cats!!

Welcome to the speakeasy Cat Adoption Lounge.  My mission in life is to rescue as many cats as possible before I die!!  Every adoption allows me to rescue another friendly homeless kitten & cat.  To visit our Adoption Cat Lounge we ask you to fill out the Adoption Application.

It's kitten season from April to October, it's the hardest time of the year. While I'm doing everything I can to save as many little lives as possible, it can be painful.  Cat rescue is tough; it's tough on the soul, the heart, and the mind. We had a bad week, not only have did I lose fragile newborns who come in without their mothers, but older kittens as well.  98% of the cats I rescue their mothers are strays & unvaccinated, so illness can strike at any time. The heartbreak is real, but so is my determination. No matter how difficult it gets, I will keep fighting for them, I won't let anything deter me from giving these kittens/cats a better chance of life. I save more than I lose and that has to be enough. I will leave the rest to God.   

Our Mission

We're dedicated to saving kittens and friendly homeless cats, nurturing them with care, and united them with families who will love them for life.

How I got started

I was driving to work one day in 2016 and came upon a junkyard in Santa Fe Springs where there was a colony of cats. I spayed/neutered 41+ cats and was able to place (find a home) for all the kittens and a few of the friendlier cats. This began my venture of fixing feral, community, and homeless cats. This process is called TNR; “Trap, Neuter & Return”.

Now a days I do less TNR but more Cat rescue and Cat adoptions.  The supply of friendly homeless Cats is endless. With God's blessings and my Cat friends we are savings lots of Cats.   

If you'd like to visit our adoption lounge but are NOT ready to adopt a cat, email me. I would love to show you our place.  We could use volunteers on the weekends. We need pooper scooters (not fun but necessary) and help keeping the place clean.  When we are done with the chores it's time to love on the cats.  Keep them stimulated & happy! 

New Kittens!! They will be ready for adoption in 4-6 weeks. All boys.
