The Company of Cats will be Singapore’s third kitty cafe, opening this month
OK, so we thought Meomi Cat Cafe opening next month in Kampong Glam would be Singapore's third cafe, but nope — these folks seem ready to beat them to it.
The Company of Cats will be open for business by end of July at 6B Mosque Street.
A cover charge of $14 for the first hour, and $5 per subsequent half hour, comes with a complimentary standard drink and the company of eight furry felines, all of which are rescued cats. Each of the them has its own distinct colour except for Sasha and Lenin, who are both Russian Blue breed cats. Follow The Company of Cats on their Facebook page for more updates.

New cat cafe gives back
Enjoy The Company Of Cats at this new cafe.
You’d be forgiven for thinking this was the Year of the Cat — or the cat cafes, to be specific.
The Company Of Cats is the third cat cafe to open in Singapore. Like its predecessors Cat Cafe Neko no Niwa in Boat Quay and The Cat Cafe, which opened in June in Bugis Village, The Company Of Cats’ eight resident felines were formerly strays or abandoned pets.
In addition to giving rescued cats a good home, The Company Of Cats’ primary aim is to be a socially conscious business. Part of its profits are donated to the Animal Lovers League, a non-profit organisation that houses and re-homes critters in need. “They have close to a thousand animals that they take care of, so that’s something we try to help out with by donating profits to them,” explained owner Tay Shuyun, who left her marketing job to run the cafe.
Tay also plans to hold “events and programmes here to educate people about animal welfare”, including talks and workshops. “It’s a bit ambitious, but I hope to do adoption drives here,” she said. “We’re just doing whatever we can to help out — not only the animal-welfare part, which we obviously try to advocate, but also through our actions. We also try to be friendly to the environment — we recycle and use environmentally sustainable packaging. We try to be a responsible business.”
The space, a heritage shophouse in Chinatown’s Mosque Street, includes a separate dining area with no entrance fee, while the Cat Room’s visitors are capped at 15 people. Tay said the room can actually accommodate more, but “we don’t want the cats to be too stressed out”. “There’s no point having a lot of people here if the cats are unhappy and hiding,” she added.
The resident kitties are a bunch of colourful characters, including two Russian Blues and a Ragdoll named Elliott, who is always by the door.
“He just wants to be the first cat that you see — to get all your attention when you come in,” said Tay (laughs), who added that she was open to adding to the menagerie should more cats need a roof over their heads.
With two more cat cafes set to open their doors in the next few months, Tay said: “I think it’s great that there are now these businesses around; that we are able to give these rescued animals a good home, because not everyone can do that. There are so many organisations and rescuers out there who do so much more than us. We hope we can contribute.” May Seah
The Cat Room’s entrance fee is S$14 (including a soft drink) for the first hour and S$5 for each subsequent half hour. Closed on Mondays.

Here, Kitty: Second cat cafe opening in Singapore this April
Still haven't visited Singapore's first cat cafe Neko no Niwa in Boat Quay (see our photo gallery)? Now you're going to have to put it on a hit list — another cat cafe is opening in the second week of April.
TheCatCafe is currently running an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise about $19,000 for equipment, shop renovations, as well as adoption and vaccination fees, but owner Candice Neo says they will open even if they don't meet the fundraising goal. Contributors will be entitled to discounts when the cafe opens, plus free drinks and snacks.
At the moment they're already in the final phase of renovations and have settled mandatory licences.
TheCatCafe will be located at 241B Victoria Street in Bugis Village and will house 15 — 18 stray cats.
Unlike Neko no Niwa, which charges by the hour, TheCatCafe will only impose a one-time fee of $14 per entry — customers will enjoy a complimentary drink and can stay as long as they like.

Hot or Not? Neko No Niwa cat cafe at Boat Quay
What is is: What used to be a hair salon at one of Singapore's thriving nightlife attractions is the city's first cat cafe run by couple Samuel Leong and Sue Lynn Tan. The two had had to go through several rounds of rejection from the authorities (namely AVA, NEA and URA), which resulted in them taking almost a year to see their dream come to fruition.
What's hot: The fact that cat lovers won't need to travel all the way to Japan and Seoul to 'dine with' their furry friends is already a major plus. And while most cat cafes are known for housing special, good-looking breeds only, Neko no Niwa is in the business of promoting the adoption and responsible ownership of strays, so you'll see lots of those in the cosy new space. And that's not an easy feat, too. It took several months to integrate the 13 cats, at their home and their initial foster care. When they moved into the cafe, there was another round of integration. And it shows, too. The strays were lovely — beautifully-groomed and relatively approachable.Their drinks (think coffee and tea) and desserts are reasonably-priced at $2 — 5.50 — they don't sell savouries so you don't end up in a cat fight (heh) over the cod. Great location, too, and with the WiFi and board games, it can get pretty homey.
What's not: There's not much to dislike about Neko no Niwa, except the limited space means only 25 can sit in it at any one time. Best to book in advance — walk-ins are likely to have to wait a couple of hours for the next available slot because patrons can stay as long as they want if they pay the subsequent hour charges.
Verdict: Very hot! They were completely booked up when they opened on Christmas Day.
The Neko no Niwa cat cafe is located at 2/F 54A Boat Quay, 6536-319,www.catcafe.com.sg. Open Mon — Fri 11am — 10pm, Sat and PH 10am — 10pm, Sun 2 — 9pm. $12 for first hour, $5 for every subsequent hour.

Meomi Cat Cafe
Meow-lo! Dear human friends,
We think we have overwhelmed our human guardians with our daily seeking of attention and love. As such, we are looking for a full time guardian who can provide us with the same love and care.
The basic role of our human guardians will be taking care of us, keeping our home clean and tidy and serving food and beverages to our future guests. It will be wonderful if you have experiences with handling of our kind.
So if you think you can become one, please drop us a message and our human guardians will be glad to talk to you.
Yours Felinely,
The MEOMI family
