Huntington Beach, founded in the 1880's, is the third largest city in Orange County. It's been consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in America, one of the best places to raise a family, and one of the best locations for businesses. When Wiskers thought about expanding and moving into the Orange County marketplace, Huntington Beach was a perfect fit. With some of the finest weather in the world, this old-fashioned beach town attracts people who could live any place on earth. Best known for its scenic pier and miles of sand and ocean waves, Huntington Beach was immortalized as Surf City in surfing songs from the city's own Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean fame. Locals know Huntington Beach offers outdoor living at its best. And tourists flock to Huntington because of it's proximity to such California legends as Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Movieland Wax Museum, and the numerous surfing championships that call Huntington Beach home.

Huntington Beach is the home to the second Wiskers and we were a natural fit for the fun lifestyle enjoyed by our neighbors. Pet lovers, both local and tourists, stop in at Wiskers to find the most distinguishing, "unique gifts for pets and their parents (tm)". Jim, Scott, and Carolyn opened the second Wiskers on July 4th, 2001 - just in time to see the Huntington Beach July 4th parade head past our store! (The 4th of July parade is billed as the biggest parade west of the Mississippi!). Once again, we went back to our Hawaii connections and celebrated our grand opening in Hawaiian style. As part of our new tradition, fresh leis were once again flown in by our friends in Hawaii for all of our guests. Hawaiian music drifted through the air, and maile leis were brought in for a traditional Hawaiian blessing of the store. We were once again honored to have David Nuueha, internationally known in the surfing community and as an official ambassador from Hawaii to the mainland, perform the traditional Hawaiian blessing of the store as part of our opening. Friends, family, and close associates gathered to share in our joy and help ease the transition between the spirits of the old and the new.

It's our belief that the store blessings are a part of our culture and have been instrumental in creating the unique shopping environment we offer for our customers. Come in, relax, and enjoy the merchandise that we've searched throughout the major markets of the world to bring to you. If you don't leave feeling relaxed with a smile upon your face, then we haven't
fulfilled our mission.

We hope you enjoy our web site, and, if you're in the Southern California Market, be sure to pay us a visit.
