Kitten Lounge to Purr in Downtown LA

Tiny Beans Kitten Lounge will be an adorable, limited-time offshoot of West LA's CatCafé Lounge.

What to Know

  • 551 S. Spring Street
  • Opens May 18 for a three-month run
  • $35 pre-sale; $25 regular

Remembering the street name of a place you want to visit can often require some sort of mnemonic device, the kind of string-around-your-finger trick that will keep the information firmly in your brain.

It should be a snap, then, to recall the upcoming location of the Tiny Beans Kitten Lounge, an adoption-minded pop-up that aims to "save 300 kittens in 3 months."

Why?

Because Tiny Beans is on Spring Street in DTLA, and kittens regularly spring for the piece of string you're holding, and they spring for a salmon treat, and they spring onto your lap in the cute and floppy way that only a young feline can.

And, yes, spring is the season that leads into summer, when the boom of kitten births always predictably arrives. Which means placing these pretty purrers in loving homes is of paramount importance.

That's the mission behind Tiny Beans, which opens on Saturday, May 18.
