NekoTown ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌⁠Cat Cafe is a cat lounge at Mandai Wildlife WEST, on the walkway in front of the Bird Paradise entrance in the Mandai Wildlife Reserve. It sits outside the gated parks, so no wildlife park ticket is needed. Around 28 resident cats live here, mostly pedigree breeds such as British Shorthairs, British Longhairs, Ragdolls and Munchkins. Visitors book or walk in for sessions of 30 minutes, one hour or two hours, with lower weekday rates, and each ticket includes a drink or ice cream to collect afterwards; food and drink are not consumed in the cat room. Children under two enter free, and children 12 and under must be supervised by an adult. NekoTown is also an AVS-licensed cattery that sells pedigree kittens, which are viewed by appointment at its Geylang Road premises rather than at the cafe. The Mandai shuttle runs from Khatib MRT.

CATEA ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​⁠is a Chinese teahouse with resident Ragdoll cats on Sin Ming Road, a few minutes on foot from Upper Thomson MRT. Opened in 2024, it serves oolong, green, black, floral and gongfu teas with pastries in a quiet room where the fluffy, calm Ragdolls roam among the tables and come to guests for attention. There is no entry fee; instead each guest orders at least one tea. There is no strict time limit, although visits at busy times usually last one to two hours. Seating is limited, so reservations through the website are recommended, and walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Children must be at least seven years old, and guests under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Weekday afternoons are the quietest time to visit. The teahouse is closed on Mondays.

Fluffydolls ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌⁠Catfe is a quiet pedigree cat lounge on Balestier Road, next door to its own licensed cattery. Its resident cats, mostly long-haired breeds from breeders in the UK and Italy, include Ragdolls, British Shorthairs, British Longhairs, Siberians and Maine Coons, and they live full time in the climate-controlled space. Sessions are kept small so the cats stay relaxed, and visitors are asked to sit back and let the cats approach in their own time. Entry is charged per person for one- or two-hour sessions and includes a drink, and ice cream cookies are sold separately. To keep the atmosphere calm, guests must be at least 12 years old. Reservations are strongly recommended, although walk-ins are taken when space allows. The cafe also runs pilates classes with the cats. The resident cats are not for sale; kittens are sold separately by the Fluffydolls cattery.

Wildflower ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​⁠Studio is an art jamming studio and rescue cat lounge in Enabling Village on Lengkok Bahru, a short walk from Redhill MRT. Working with cat rescuers, it fosters, rehabilitates and socialises community cats, which live in the studio alongside a few permanent residents and meet the public through art jamming sessions in the hope of finding adopters. Since 2021 it has fostered more than 500 cats and rehomed over 400. Visitors book semi-guided art jams or shorter relaxed painting sessions among the cats, with materials provided, and can feed and photograph the cats. The cats have a midday nap break, when sessions pause. The studio also hosts private parties and workshops, offers memberships, and takes its cats to feline-assisted programmes with partners such as the Institute of Mental Health, SHINE and Stroke Support Station.
