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 is simple and lifelong: to rescue as many cats as possible. Every adoption makes space to save another friendly, homeless kitten or cat in need. With an estimated 60 to 100 million homeless cats in the United States, the need is urgent. If you'd like to visit our adoption lounge, we kindly ask that you fill out our adoption application first. 

It's kitten season, and with it comes both hope & heartbreak. We're doing everything we can to save as many tiny lives as possible, even when the odds feel overwhelming. Each new day brings new challenges, but also new chances to make a difference. As May begins, we're holding onto that hope, believing that every rescue, every adoption and every act of kindness brings these little souls one step closer to the loving homes they deserve. 

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! 

Patches & Sky. Intake 2-28, 3 kittens at a week old.
