Paws & Relax Cat Lounge plans to open at 8227 Woodmont Ave. in Bethesda by winter or spring 2027, as first reported by The MoCo Show.

The business describes itself on its website as a cat lounge in Bethesda where guests can spend time with adoptable rescue cats. Visitors will be able to read, work remotely or socialize while interacting with the animals, according to the site.

The lounge says every visit supports its rescue mission by giving homeless cats a safe environment while they wait for permanent homes.

The building at 8227 Woodmont Ave. sits on a corner lot at a signalized intersection, within walking distance of the Bethesda Metro station, according to a LoopNet listing. Existing tenants include Ooh La La Bakery, Bethesda Tattoo, Woodmont Deli, Woodmont Market and Nailmaste Salon & Spa.

The business has not publicly identified its owner, its rescue partner organization or its pricing structure.
