Whether you're a pet-owner or an avid pet-lover, we all have one thing in common – a passion for animals. Even if you've yet to jump on the bandwagon, it's not too late! Take a pick (or a few) from our list to get in on the action – whether it's for your cute kitty latte art fix or "barkery" treats for your pups.
Cats
Cuddles Cat Café
Scape, 2 Orchard Link #03-01.
By far Singapore’s largest cat café, Cuddles, with its three nature-themed zones — sunset, night and sea — might be the best option for those looking for an experience beyond petting. Also houses a whopping 28 precious kitties.
Meomi Cat Café
668 North Bridge Rd., Ground level, 6296-0339.
Meomi Cat Café is a small and cosy home to seven darling felines, which means you don’t have to run around the place for 20 minutes for a photo op.

Neko no Niwa
54A Boat Quay, 6536-5319.
If it wasn’t a cat petting haven, this spacious spot with its plush armchairs and tall white-framed windows could’ve easily passed off as a book café. The cats at Neko no Niwa seem to know they’re ‘royalty’ — you can either find them sunning on the window ledge or on the cat stands.

The Cat Café
241B Victoria Street, 6338-6815.
This 1,299 sq. ft. space located on the second level of a shophouse is made lively by 20 great-looking cats.
The Company of Cats
6B Mosque Street, 6220-3835.
The simplest-looking cat café in Singapore is also the most homey. They consider their eight good-natured cats their “meowkiting” team.

Dogs
Doggiestyle Café
496 Changi Rd., 6449-1296.
If you’re one to lavish your pets with gifts and treats, here is where you can do it in style – ‘doggiestyle’ that is. The longest-running pet café in Singapore serves as much human food as it does dog treats and you can even share your food — overnight oatmeal, perhaps — with the furry pals.
III Café
687A East Coast Rd., 2nd floor, 6655-8288.
If you’re not new to the dog cafe scene, you probably already know III Café. Loved by many, this place has its own ‘barkery’, which produces delicious canine treats like meatballs ($5) and pupcakes ($4.50). Be sure to order some Mexican chicken drumlets ($5.90) for yourself too.
We are the Furballs
45 East Coast Rd., 6348-6630.
Unlike the aforementioned dog cafes, We are the Furballs (WTF) doesn’t allow dog lovers to bring their own pets into the café’s premises. Strictly a petting café, WTF has their own seven hounds that will keep you on your feet, by having you run after them or well, just barking excitedly at you, like what white princess Lola does everytime we go.
Others
Ah Meng Restaurant
80 Mandai Lake Rd., Singapore Zoo, Terrace, 6269-3411.
Get friendly with the orangutans at the Singapore Zoo in memory of the attraction’s first ever star that died in 2008. Tuck into a good lunch and teach your kids (or yourself!) about Ah Meng, whose photos are plastered all over the walls.
Riders Café
51 Fairways Drive, 6466-9819.
Riders Café is one of our favourite Sunday date spots. The atmosphere is great and the food is satisfactory. Tuck into the Blackstone Benedict ($15) if you’re in a breakfast mood or share a plate of truffle fries ($10) with friends. Don’t forget to wave to the horsies as they pass by!
Lunch with Parrots at Jurong Bird Park
2 Jurong Hill, Bird Park, Songbird Terrace, 6360-8560.
Lunching alfresco can be disastrous, especially when there are birds on the prowl. But at the Jurong Bird Park, it can be a pleasant — and very entertaining — experience. These parrots don’t just mimic the human voice well, but can also draw and perform acrobatic stunts.
Dinner with Penguins at Jurong Bird Park
2 Jurong Hill, Bird Park, Penguin Expedition, 6661-7807.
If talking birds make you feel uneasy, spend an evening with penguins instead. Penguins in tropical Singapore is already a pretty rare sight — being able to hae a meal with 200 penguins of five breeds close by will be a pretty special experience.
