等一隻貓咖啡 One More Purr Coffee is a cafe and cat halfway house on Meishuguan Road in Gushan District, Kaohsiung, close to the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts and the Light Rail. The owners give cats waiting for homes a temporary shelter in the cafe, hoping each will meet a family for life, so several cats of different breeds and mixes live among the tables, along with a calm shop dog. The cats are available for adoption. The menu goes well beyond coffee, with pastas, risottos, flatbreads, duck dishes, cheesecakes and fruit teas, and there is no time limit. Small items are sold by donation to support the rescue cats, and the space can be hired for events. Booking is advised at weekend lunchtimes, when it fills up quickly.

The menu has coffee, caramel milk, milk tea, pudding, tiramisu, banana pound cake, Basque cheesecake, dumplings and noodles. Each guest must order a drink, groups of more than four are not accepted, and the cafe does not recommend visits with children under six. Guests are asked to be considerate to the neighbours outside.

The minimum spend is NT$350 per person plus a 10% service charge, and cakes and drinks are generally ordered as part of a set meal, so it suits a full meal more than a quick drink.
