11 Pet-Friendly Cafes To Chill With Your Furball Squad

Meow! Woof! Pets!

Source

To many of us pet lovers, our pets are more than our best friends – they are our little ‘furkids’. Whenever we leave them behind at home, we feel a tinge of sadness. Will they be safe, all alone at home?

Furthermore, if not all restaurants are family friendly, how many more are pet friendly? Thankfully, even though most cafes in Singapore don’t (literally) open their doors to pets, there are many that will welcome your furkid – even if it means dining at the al fresco area. The next time you’re going to leave your furkids behind again, head to one to these cafes and bring them along too!

-For the Pooches-

1. Happenstance Cafe

As Singapore’s very first cat cafe, this concept was inspired by the sprawling cat cafes in Japan. Besides simply eating and drinking, don’t be surprised to find a cat meowing as it comes up to you. This cafe believes in cat therapy – the joy and relaxation that comes with being around cats. As you stroke and cuddle them, or simply watch them leap around, some of that cat karma might rub off on you.

The cats here are no ordinary domesticated creatures – they are abandoned cats who’ve been rescued, and given a second home. As you enter and take off your shoes, wash your hands and familiarise yourself with the rules by flicking through the Cat Cafe Handbook. While playing with the kitties, help yourself to the cakes and muffins available!
