Reading ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​⁠Cat Garden (讀貓園) is a cat foster home and adoption space on the third floor of a building on Xinglong Road in the Muzha area of Wenshan District, Taipei. The volunteer group behind it previously ran a foster cafe on Heping East Road and reopened in this smaller space in 2026. It is not a cafe with a kitchen: visitors pay an entry fee of NT$150 for two hours, which includes self-service snacks and drinks, and spend the time reading, playing chess or the piano, or resting among foster cats waiting for new homes. The cats come mainly from public shelters, and the group has rehomed more than 500 of them; anyone interested in adopting can ask the volunteers. Last entry is an hour before closing, it closes on public holidays, and extra rest days are announced each month. The second floor is a board game shop, and the door up to the third floor is at the back of the shared corridor, past the second-floor toilets. The room can be rented for small classes and events.

Cataholic ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​⁠(愛貓成癮) is a cat hotel with a small cafe on the second floor of a building on Zhuangjing Road in Taipei's Xinyi District, about a 10-minute walk from Taipei 101/World Trade Center MRT station.

The cafe is kept separate from the hotel rooms, and the cats guests meet there are the two resident Bengal siblings that serve as the shop's cat managers, so it is a cafe with a pair of house cats rather than a room full of cats.
