描Cafe X 屋Brunch is a brunch cafe with resident cats on Bohai Street in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung, about three minutes' walk from Xinyi Elementary School MRT station; it moved to this smaller site in mid-2026. Four large, calm cats, including an orange-and-white cat called Juzi and a handsome black cat, greet guests at the door and come for strokes, though staff ask visitors to respect their space. The kitchen serves brunch platters, Sichuan-pepper chicken leg bento, satay, salted pork, diced steak, chocolate lava cake and lattes, with fresh fruit on the side and lunch boxes to take away. The cafe is family friendly and keeps the room clean and free of litter smells. Seating at the new location is limited, so it is worth arriving early at weekends.

李貓貓主題餐廳 MIAO MIAO LEE is a cat restaurant on Qixian 1st Road in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung. Its resident cats, mostly Maine Coons along with a calico and a blue cat, share the dining areas, including an upstairs room, and are clean, calm and affectionate with diners. The menu focuses on Japanese-style set meals, rice dishes and steaks, with free refills of rice, side dishes and soup, plus desserts such as sago. Staff introduce the cats and the house rules at the start of each visit, and the rooms are kept free of litter smells. Children under 12 are not admitted. With its quiet atmosphere it suits a relaxed lunch or dinner with cats rather than a quick coffee. Bookings can be made by phone or through the restaurant's online booking page.

拾六貓舍 is a cattery cafe on Qixian 1st Road in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung, near Kaohsiung Main Station, and a sister shop of the Shixi catteries in Fengshan. Around 20 pedigree cats, mainly Ragdolls, golden Chinchilla-type British cats and British Longhairs, share the cafe and surround guests, with the males and females housed on separate floors. The kitchen offers desserts such as mille crêpe cake, Basque cheesecake, caramel pudding, freshly baked croissants and bagels, tamagoyaki and drinks. As a licensed cattery, the shop breeds and sells kittens, and it also provides grooming and cat boarding. A per-person minimum spend applies. With so many long-haired cats in one place, it is a good choice for anyone who wants to be surrounded by fluffy, people-friendly cats over afternoon tea.

白領貓手作餐廳 is a small rescue cat restaurant on Daren Street in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung. The ground floor is a tidy dining area with a friendly shop cat, and upstairs is a separate cat room where about a dozen rescued strays, mostly adults, can be stroked up close. The cats are dewormed, neutered and used to people, and they are available for adoption after the owner checks the adopter's home. The kitchen serves curry rice, beef rice, dumplings and other hot meals at set times, alongside afternoon-tea items such as Basque cheesecake, croissants, egg toast and brown sugar milk tea, at modest prices. Because the cats come first, the owner sometimes closes to take them to the vet, so booking ahead is advised, especially at weekends.
