Feline Good Social Club invites local writers, musicians, and cat lovers to “Whiskers & Words,” a unique open mic night dedicated entirely to our furry friends. The event takes place on Saturday, July 25, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at downtown Long Beach’s cat lounge.

Attendees can step into the spotlight or settle into the audience, all while surrounded by the lounge’s free-roaming, adoptable resident cats. Performers are encouraged to share original poetry, read favorite cat-centric literature, or strum acoustic songs inspired by their four-legged muses. It is the perfect opportunity for animal advocates and creatives to express their devotion to felines in a cozy, supportive community space.

“Our resident kitties make the absolute coziest audience in Long Beach,” said Pam Leslie, Chief Feline Officer (CFO). “Whether you are stepping up to the microphone or just soaking up the creative energy, you get to cuddle with adoptable cats the entire time. It is a wonderful way to balance local art with vital animal socialization.”
