There are many animal lovers in Hong Kong, but due to small apartments and crazy busy lifestyles, not many people are able to adopt a pet. Enter cat cafés — A great opportunity for cat enthusiasts to meet, pet and give scratches to cats while enjoying a nice coffee and a snack, or even a full meal if they are hungry. Most cafés are also very supportive of local cat shelters and adoptions, which makes it a great way to give back to the community. So if you’re a local or tourist cat lover, here is your ultimate list of cat cafés in Hong Kong!
Scaredy Cat — Yuen Long
If your craving for kitty time comes with a side order of ice cream, then head on over to Scaredy Cat. Enjoy spending time with their “cat store managers” as you check out their menu that features soft serve ice cream, smoothies, chocolate lava cake, and yoghurt parfait with granola. Depending on what time of year you pop by the café, you’ll find their signature homemade frozen yoghurt or fondue. Kitty playtime here lasts an hour and comes with a treat for the friendly felines.
