Here’s how to prepare for your visit over. You’ll need to purchase a ticket to enter the cafe; and should do so minimally an hour before your visit. An email notification will be sent to your email address after you’ve successfully purchased your tickets. While walk-ins are accepted, you won’t be able to enter if the cafe is full.
1-hour passes start from RM22.90/adult (~S$6.51) and RM19.90/child (~S$5.65), for those below 12 years old. There’d be an additional RM5 (~S$1.42) charge for every 10-minute block afterwards.

If you’d like to bring your little ones to play with the furry little ones, there are multiple family packages for you to choose from and they’re pretty customisable with the minimum being 1 adult and 1 child for RM38 (~S$10.80) and the maximum being 2 adults and 2 children for RM76 (~S$21.60) – both of which are for 1-hour passes.
If you think 1 hour won’t be sufficient, consider getting day passes that come with a complimentary drink at RM65/adults (~S$18.47) and RM55/children (~S$15.63).
Do note that although the cafe runs from 10am-10pm, the last entry is at 8.30pm. There isn’t a minimum spending in the cafe, but you aren’t allowed to bring in outside food and drinks.
Chill cafe with around 20 cats

The space is a pretty work-friendly environment, with the number of tables and chairs provided. So whether you want to grab a book to chill and laze around or have some work that you need to get done, you’d be happy to know that there’d be some felines who’d be keeping you company through that.
Expect to see around 20 cats of varying breeds, from British Shorthairs to Maine Coons and mixed breeds.

Chucky Cat Cafe also provides toys such as laser pointers and feather wands, which you can use in your play sessions with the cats. If you’d like to curry favour from the cutie patooties, there are cat snacks – both wet and dry ones – available from RM5 (~S$1.42).

Before you start touching those nekos, ensure that your hands are washed thoroughly first. Hygiene is of utmost importance here, so be prepared to wear shoe covers.
If you’re a little nervous about interacting with the cats, fret not, as a majority of them are friendly and polite. Those with a slightly different demeanour have a marked collar to alert patrons to be more careful and gentle with them.
As my colleague said, “this is called a cutie patootie”.

Feel free to take as many photos as you’d like, but do remember to switch off your flash so you don’t startle the kitties.
