About Purrs In Paradise
Opening in September 2026 in Costa Mesa, Purrs In Paradise marks the arrival of a thoughtfully designed adoption-focused cat lounge born from genuine rescue passion. Founders Ben and Michelle Lioe created this space after rescuing two tiny feral kittens, Dozy and Leia, in 2020—an experience that completely transformed their perspective on animal welfare and sparked the vision for a different kind of cat cafe. Located at The CAMP, a beloved Orange County destination, Purrs In Paradise partners with Friends of Normie Rescue, a foster-based rescue organization that has rescued over 10,000 cats since 2020. The lounge operates as a daily adoption showcase, where visitors connect with adoptable cats in a calm, tropical-inspired environment while directly supporting rescue and care efforts. Inspired by cat lounges they've visited around the world and shaped by a genuine love of thoughtful design and hospitality, Ben and Michelle have created a space that feels welcoming, memorable, and uniquely Southern California.
Guests consistently describe an inviting atmosphere of genuine care that permeates every detail. Visitors arrive to find a warm, clean environment where each cat displays remarkable friendliness and playfulness—even the initially shy cats quickly warm up to gentle interactions after brief sniffs, seeking headpats, scratches, and belly rubs. The high standards of cleanliness and animal care are immediately apparent, with guests noting that the space feels both safe to visit and welcoming to spend time in. Multiple reviewers highlighted the dedication of owners Michelle and Ben, whose love for their cats, staff, and mission is visible in every interaction. The calm, relaxing environment encourages meaningful connections, and guests often leave with memorable moments—visitors have mentioned meeting beloved cats like Marmalade. Staff members are praised for their attentiveness and genuine passion for the cats' wellbeing, making the experience about so much more than casual playtime.
Pricing for Purrs In Paradise is accessible and flexible: 30-minute visits are $18, while 1-hour sessions cost $24, giving guests options based on their schedule. The lounge offers premium ice cream and gourmet cookies in a bright, photo-ready environment. While hours are still being finalized, the cafe is located at 2981 Bristol St, Suite B3, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. To protect cat wellbeing and maintain the peaceful environment, Purrs In Paradise has thoughtful guidelines: guests are asked to be gentle (no grabbing or chasing), use soft voices, allow staff-approved treats only, and keep external doors closed. The backroom is staff-only, and the guest bathroom remains off-limits. These rules ensure every cat has a safe, calm space to feel secure while transitioning toward their forever homes through the Friends of Normie partnership. Whether you're looking for a relaxing escape or hoping to meet your next adopted companion, Purrs In Paradise delivers an elevated, feel-good experience that benefits both humans and cats.
