Palo Alto, CA
A Northern California kittens-focused nonprofit running kitten lounges inside shopping malls, including this Palo Alto location, alongside a spay/neuter shuttle service. Visitors book time in the lounge to meet adoptable kittens.
Kittens $200-$500 depending on time spent on the adoption floor (newly-arrived kittens cost more)
Walk in during open hours, no appointment needed, and fill out a brief waiver at the door. Admission is charged to visit the kitten lounge; adopters visit for free.
Estimated by applying the AVMA's 2024 national cat-ownership rate (32.1% of households) to the county's real household count from the Census Bureau — a national rate applied locally, not a local survey. Population and housing figures are from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Fees run $200 to $500 based on how long a kitten has been on the adoption floor. Newly arrived kittens cost the most and the price comes down the longer they wait.
Mini Cat Town runs kitten lounges in San Jose at Eastridge, Pleasanton at Stoneridge, Milpitas at Great Mall, and Palo Alto on California Avenue.
Daily 12pm-7pm, with the Stoneridge location open Monday to Saturday 11am-7pm and Sunday 11am-6pm. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing.
