300 Cats Have Been Adopted in a Year Thanks to an Eastern Iowa Cat Lounge

To say that Kitty Corner Social Club has been a success would be an understatement. The Iowa City cat lounge has officially been open for a year, and in that time, they've helped 300 cats get adopted!

About Kitty Corner Social Club

Located at 20 S Clinton Street in Iowa City, Kitty Corner Social Club is the area's first cat lounge, a place "where humans can relax, unwind, and connect with cat residents available for adoption in partnership with local humane societies + cat rescues." They first opened their doors on February 25th of 2025.

According to the website, Kitty Corner Social Club has worked with several different organizations to bring adoptable cats into their lounge. The list includes the Iowa City Animal Care And Adoption Center, the Dubuque Regional Humane Society, CCLAW, the Scott County Humane Society, and more. A new feline crew is brought in to Kitty Corner each Monday, and they're available to meet, play with, and snuggle Tuesday through Sunday. New adoptions are reviewed on Thursdays, and Sunday night is when the adopted kitties get to go to their new homes!

Back in October, Kitty Corner Social Club revealed on social media that they had over 150 adoptions in the eight months they had been open, and that number has continued to grow. As of Monday, 297 cats had been adopted, and the lounge says that number will increase to 300 next week! INCREDIBLE.
