At the Tiny Lions lounge and Adoption Center (TLC), prospective pet par­ents can watch the cats and play with them, as long as they treat them oh-so gently. They are all ready to adopt, but in a unique arrangement, time or “rent”, can be purchased for $7 an hour or $4 for a half-hour without the responsibility.

Tiny Lions Center patrons can use the free Wi-Fi, enjoy café tables (ideal for laptops) or lounge chairs (ideal for snuggling and reading), shop in the cat-lovers store, meet up with friends or enjoy alone time with furr-ends. The café can also be rented for birthday parties or other gatherings, and there’s a coffee shop next door.

Children accompanied by an adult are welcome; tots under 4 years old are admitted for half-hour increments only, and there is a maximum of two kids 10 and under at any one time.

Location: 5245 Jackson Rd., Ste. A1, Ann Arbor. For more informa­tion, call 734-661-3530 or email [email protected].
