毛驢·貓旅
毛驢·貓旅 is a Maine Coon cat cafe, cattery and cat hotel on Zhongcheng Street in Gangshan District, northern Kaohsiung. A group of large, friendly Maine Coons roam the lounge, greet guests at the door and settle on laps, and visitors spend time with them over drinks and homemade cakes. There is a per-person minimum spend, which in practice means ordering two items. The business is run by a Maine Coon breeder: it sells Maine Coon kittens, boards cats and sells cat supplies, and enquiries about kittens and bookings are handled by direct message on Instagram. Visits for petting the cats and having dessert must be booked in advance, and tours of the boarding facilities are by appointment only. The small space can get busy, so booking a quieter slot gives the most time with the cats.

Kaohsiung10 mi / 16 km
養一隻貓吧 Keepacat is a cat mid-way station and interactive cat lounge located on the second floor at 大豐一路433號 in Kaohsiung's Sanmin District, Taiwan. The space is designed as a Japanese-style tatami lounge, so guests remove their shoes and slip on socks before entering to spend relaxed time surrounded by resident cats. Most of the cats in residence are former strays cared for by the shop and are open for adoption, giving prospective cat parents a chance to meet different personalities and find the right companion before committing. Visitors who cannot adopt are equally welcome to enjoy the therapeutic company of the cats over afternoon tea. The cafe area offers light bites and desserts alongside drinks, and original cat-themed merchandise is also available, with proceeds supporting the ongoing care of rescue cats.
