Meownistry of Meow is perfect for cat lovers who just want some feline company without the commitment. This cosy co-working space lets you work and study in peace, all while being monitored by the Meownistry’s many four-legged “managers”.

If you’re lucky, some of them may just grace you with their presence. Take Zimomo, for example – a rare female ginger cat who takes her job very seriously. And by that, we mean she’ll derail your workflow because she loooves attention.

Or you could even have a quiet companion, like Brownie, a one-eyed senior lovebug who’s content to curl up at your side and chill.
If you don’t get approached by any meow-nager, you could always go to the lounge during your break and pet the kitties there. Working here also gives you access to free-flow drinks and a well-stocked pantry so you can vibe here for as long as you’d like.
Price: From $8 for a seat in the open lounge
You definitely own at least 3 cat-themed items at home if you call yourself a cat lover. And if you can’t seem to get enough, Cat Socrates is a literal haven for feline fanatics, packed with everything from cutesy cat art prints (from $12) to cat vases (from $18), and even cat collars (from $9.90) for your fur baby.

Just imagine these adorable cat vases sitting pretty in your home. You’ll want to keep them far, far away from your actual cats though, because we all know how much kitties love knocking things off shelves.

The real stars of Cat Socrates are their resident cat managers. Pop by either outlet and you’ll be greeted by their meow-nager, whose job is lounging around and looking absolutely lovable. If they’re feeling it, feel free to reward their hard work with a well-deserved head scratch.

Wildflower Studio is a must-visit stop for fans of cats and art. Actually, even if you’re not the artsy type, you’ll still have a blast here. Let your creative juices run during the semi-guided painting session, all while hanging out with rescue cats housed at the studio. Just don’t expect perfection – these cheeky furballs are known to headbutt you, your brush, or your easel to add their own “creative touch” to your masterpiece.

If you happen to fall in love with one of the studio’s cats, the good news is Wildflower Studio also doubles as an adoption centre. This means you get to keep your paintings and bring home a furry friend for life.
Head to Wildflower Studio for a chill painting session, and invite your cat-loving friends while you’re at it. Who knows…someone could go home with a fur-baby in tow.
Price: From $20

Catea is exactly what it sounds like – a teahouse with cats. But not just any cats; here, you’ll be sipping on warm tea in the company of the friendliest, cuddliest Ragdolls. Known for their laid-back nature, these fur babies make the perfect tea-time companions, guaranteed to melt away stress with every purr.

Before you get carried away, start with a traditional tea like the Orchid Golden Guan Yin ($22) or the Duckshit DanCong ($18) – yes, that’s really its name. Catea also serves iced teas like the Dreamy Moonlight ($22) if you prefer something cold. The prices might seem steep, but you’re paying for an experience – from the dainty glassware to the serene and aesthetic vibes. The cherry on top is when the curious Ragdolls trot over to nuzzle into your lap or lounge around like the royalty they are.
Although walk-ins are allowed, the cafe’s popularity means that it can be tough to secure a spot during peak periods, so remember to make a reservation to avoid disappointment.

Parents, or should I say, paw-rents, bring your families out for a day of cat-themed fun at Nekoland. This indoor playground has everything for maximum entertainment – think ball pits, slides and climbing gyms.
The playground just got even better – they have recently added a cat-interaction zone that’s tucked away in a separate room, letting both parents and children hang out with Nekoland’s resident cats. They’re all friendly, curious and love to play.

Drop by the cat-interaction zone after all that running around at the playground to chill with the cats. Or, if you’d prefer to skip the playground altogether, that’s possible too.
Price: From $12

One Holland Village is setting the bar high for malls because it’s not just pet-friendly, but pet-welcoming. We’re talking about pet lifts, drinking fountains and even a pet playground. With its open-air layout, it’s the perfect place for cat owners to shop, stroll, and vibe with their feline besties.
The mall boasts a variety of restaurants, with many cuisines to choose from. If you’re there for a short time, there are plenty of cafes like Starbucks, Cakebar or Paris Baguette to chill at. Yes, they’re all pet-friendly too. There’s also a laundromat, hair salons and supermarkets so you can run some errands and tick off your to-do list while hanging out with your furry friend.

If you’re planning to adopt a cat but haven’t found the one yet, Cat Paradise is where you need to be. Unlike regular cat cafes, every single kitty here is up for adoption – so you’re not just sipping coffee, you’re potentially meeting your future fur-ever friend. Their cageless setup lets you spend as much time as you want with the cats before deciding on one that’ll come home with you. Or, if you’re lucky, the cat distribution system could work in your favour – instead of you picking a cat, a cat picks you.

If you already own a cat, Cat Paradise has something more for you than simply hanging out at their cafe. They offer a boarding service, promising quality care and a “hotel” experience for your cats, which includes air-conditioning, private cabins and daily video updates.

Don’t let your furry friends stop you from travelling or leaving home for a while, because they’ll be well taken care of at Cat Paradise. Their boarding prices are affordable and they prioritise the welfare of your fur-babies, so you can relax while you’re away.
Price: From $12 for the cat cafe, from $35/night for the cat hotel

Saving the best for the last – Kitten Sanctuary is a place to adore cats while making a real difference. It’s a non-profit, volunteer-led organisation that spearheads rescuing cats and rehoming them.

Volunteer at Kitten Sanctuary and get the chance to feed, bathe and monitor the health of rescued cats before they are rehomed. It’s a rewarding experience that will teach you some tips and tricks on handling cats. As their name suggests, Kitten Sanctuary is home to tons of adorable, tiny kittens looking for a second chance, so you’ll get to meet a whole bunch of these furballs.
If you’re a cat lover and looking for something fun to do, you could plan a whole day’s outing with some activities on this list. So grab a friend, preferably someone who loves cats as much as you do, and make some unforgettable memories.
