Japan’s famous “cat cafés” have been around for
a while, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise when
Singapore’s first, Neko No Niwa, opened last year
in Boat Quay. A passing trend? Perhaps not.
Singapore’s second kitty coffee shop is now
open for business. At Chinatown’s
The Company of Cats,
all cats are rescue animals
– either born on the streets or
abandoned by their owners –
and have been adopted by the
café. Plus, a portion of the
company’s profits goes
to Animal Lovers League,
a shelter for homeless
animals. $14 to enter
(includes one soft drink). 6B
Mosque Street (2nd floor).
