Going Home
Going Home is a rescued-cat interaction centre on the second floor of a shophouse at 47A Temple Street in Chinatown, a few minutes' walk from Exit A of Chinatown MRT. It opened in late October 2026 as a quiet space where visitors can read, unwind and get to know rescued cats at their own pace, and some of the cats are ready for adoption. Visits are booked online in half-hour blocks for up to two hours, with lower prices on weekdays and concessions for students and seniors on weekday visits of an hour or more that end by 6 PM. Visitors must be at least 6, and children aged 6 to 12 need a paying adult in the same booking, while 13- to 17-year-olds may come on their own. The cats must not be fed, and cats resting in cages or separate areas should not be photographed. It opens from noon to 8:30 PM, with a break for the cats and staff from 3:30 to 4:30 PM, and is closed on Thursdays.
