Catsanova ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌⁠is a non-profit cat shelter and playroom on Sathu Pradit Road in Bang Kho Laem, Bangkok, where every cat is up for adoption. Founded in 2019, it has found homes for over 100 cats. Visits are by reservation only: for a 200 baht entry fee, which goes towards the cats' care, a cat sitter leads a tour of four rooms of about an hour and introduces each cat. The cats are kept in separate rooms by temperament and health, so shy cats, unwell cats and sociable ones each have their own space, and they are fed premium food. Adopters are matched with a cat, and the shelter delivers the cat to its new home.

Mohu ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌⁠Mohu Cat Café is a Japanese-style rescue cat café nestled in the Bang Rak district of Bangkok, Thailand. The café offers a warm and friendly environment where guests can enjoy Japanese-style food, desserts, coffee, and beverages alongside some of the most sociable cats in the city. Almost all of the resident cats were once abandoned but have since been rescued and vaccinated, giving them a safe and loving home. The café's philosophy is simple: both cats and people deserve to be happy. Instead of an entry fee it charges for time, 25 baht per 10 minutes on weekdays and 30 baht at weekends and on holidays, and guests pay whichever is higher, the time charge or their food and drink bill. Children under 7 are not admitted, and reservations are required on weekends and holidays. It is a few minutes from BTS Chong Nonsi exit 3 or MRT Sam Yan exit 1.

Cat treats are available for visitors who want to feed them. The kitchen serves a long menu of Thai and Western dishes, from som tam to soft-crust pizza, plus coffee, blended drinks, ice cream and desserts. It is a popular family outing, so weekends can be busy.

Duemdum ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​⁠Coffee is a small specialty coffee shop at Bake & Koff Studios on Soi Somdet Chao Phraya 17 in Khlong San, just behind Taksin Hospital on the Thonburi side of the river. It is home to a little gang of cats rescued from the street, six in all according to the cafe, who act as the shop's welcome team: call their names and they come trotting out to greet you. There is no entrance fee. Order a coffee and the cats will nap beside you, play or roll over for belly rubs, though they occasionally squabble among themselves. The coffee is a draw in its own right, with dark and medium roasts, cold brew, coffee sodas and matcha, plus house-baked cakes and pastries such as lemon cake. Seating is limited, and there is paid parking at the hotel opposite.
