Whenever I’m out walking with friends, I always end up having to be pulled away from any pet I see. I can’t help myself! As a certified fur-lover, every dog and cat that enters my field of vision is a new BFF waiting to be fluffed up. So you can probably guess that dog and cat cafes in Singapore are like heaven on earth for me.

And I believe that good things shouldn’t be gatekept, so I’m sharing my super-secret notes on the best dog and cat cafes in Singapore — so that you’ll always know where to go the next time you need to huff some fluff.

Nekotown is your one-stop shop for all things cat-related. More than just a cat cafe, they also offer pet grooming, cat supplies, and kittens for sale. It’s also one of Singapore’s cheapest cat cafes, charging just $9 per hour. Once you’re there, be prepared to experience a furry heaven specialising in British Shorthairs, British Longhairs, and Ragdoll cats. And if that wasn’t enough, the entry fee includes free-flow drinks, too!

When it comes to unique cat cafes in Singapore, Wildflower Studio has to take the cake. After all, where else can you cuddle up with a cat while art-jamming? For $48, you’ll get to enjoy a  2.5-hour long session that includes cat feeding and a guided art jam session.

If you just want to cuddle with cats without getting any paint on your hands, $20 will get you an hour’s worth of kitty time. For those who love the better things in life, this is a great chance to help yourself to fine felines and fine art at the same time.

Have you ever been so charmed by a kitty at a cat cafe that you wish you could scoop it up and take your new best friend home? Cat Paradise is as much of a cat cafe as it is a cageless adoption centre. At $12 for your first hour, you’ll get a chance to play with various rescue cats in a relaxed environment, giving you a sneak peek at these cats’ personalities and temperaments that you wouldn’t be able to get at a typical adoption centre. 

Even if you’re not looking to adopt a new furball for your home, the $25 day pass entry fee makes Cat Paradise a great pet cafe if you love spending multiple hours at a time unwinding in good company 🐱

Hailing from Northern China, the Chow Chow is a unique dog breed that looks somewhere between a lion and a bear, while sporting reserved mannerisms commonly associated with cats.

The cafe has tons of tasty grub for hoomans, as well as several “chowcuterie” boards for your dog. The boards include chicken breast, mutton, beef, and salmon, so both you and your canine companion can be well-fed.

Up next in our lineup of breed-focused dog and cat cafes in Singapore is Snow Pawttage. Every inch of this cafe’s interior is dedicated to the super-white, super-friendly, and super-fluffy Samoyeds that call it home.
