OR或是甜點咖啡店 is a late-night dessert cafe on Mingcheng 2nd Road in Sanmin District, Kaohsiung, with three resident cats in its upstairs dining room. The second floor is decorated like a cosy home with low lighting, and each table has notes on the cats' personalities; the cats wander between guests and can be stroked. The owner bakes reduced-sugar desserts in-house, including tiramisu, crème brûlée, caramel cakes and Basque cheesecake, and the kitchen makes its own sauces for pastas, flatbreads and baked dishes, with milk teas and other non-coffee drinks for the evening. There is a minimum spend of NT$300 per person plus a 10% service charge, and a 100-minute limit when the cafe is full. Guests are asked to keep their voices down. Booking ahead is recommended, especially later in the evening, and whole cakes can be ordered to take away.

養一隻貓吧 Keepacat is a cat mid-way station and interactive cat lounge located on the second floor at 大豐一路433號 in Kaohsiung's Sanmin District, Taiwan. The space is designed as a Japanese-style tatami lounge, so guests remove their shoes and slip on socks before entering to spend relaxed time surrounded by resident cats. Most of the cats in residence are former strays cared for by the shop and are open for adoption, giving prospective cat parents a chance to meet different personalities and find the right companion before committing. Visitors who cannot adopt are equally welcome to enjoy the therapeutic company of the cats over afternoon tea. The cafe area offers light bites and desserts alongside drinks, and original cat-themed merchandise is also available, with proceeds supporting the ongoing care of rescue cats.
