There is no entrance fee or timed session, as the cats are part of the everyday cafe.

Sig Café
Davao City, Davao Del Sur0.5 mi / 0.8 km
Sig Café, also called Sigeg Kape, is a small home-style cafe on Lacson Street in Bo. Obrero, Davao City, near the University of Southeastern Philippines. It does not describe itself as a cat cafe, but it is home to the owners' fluffy cats, which wander into the dining room, nap in their favourite corners and keep guests company; staff sometimes let customers feed them. Because the cats come and go as they please, they are not always out. There is no entrance fee or timed session, and the cafe has no Wi-Fi so that guests talk and play instead. The menu includes Spanish latte, matcha, iced Americano, cheesecake and home-cooked rice meals such as chicken teriyaki, at prices aimed at students. The cafe sells its own cat stickers and is open late every day.
