For cat lovers, Hong Kong’s small apartments and busy lifestyle can make pet adoption challenging. Cat cafés provide a great opportunity for you to meet, pet and give scratches to cats while enjoying a nice cup of coffee and light snacks. Many of these places actively support local shelters and charities, with some even offering adoption services for those ready to bring a furry friend home. We have gathered a list of our favourites cat cafés in Hong Kong, each with its own unique charm.
