Catfeine House & Cafe on Sukhumvit Road in Si Racha has been running since 2015 and calls itself the first cat cafe in the town. The cosy, Japanese-inspired room is home to a family of pedigree cats, including American Shorthairs, Persians, Scottish Folds and hairless Sphynx, each with its own name and personality, and the owners are known for keeping the cats healthy and the space clean and odour-free. Visitors pay an entrance fee that comes with a drink, and walk-ins are welcome. The menu covers coffee, tea, Italian sodas, honey toast and other sweets, plus a few light savoury dishes. The cafe now opens on weekends and public holidays only, so it is worth checking the Facebook page before making a special trip. There is street parking for a few cars in front of the shop.

Triple Cats Share Space & Cats Shelter is a rescue cat sanctuary combined with a rentable activity space on the Bang Na-Trat frontage road in Bang Sao Thong, Samut Prakan.

The number of cats is kept at a level where the space never feels crowded. Visitors who would like to come and play with the cats, or to adopt one, are asked to contact the shelter at least one day ahead. The owner and staff are warm and clearly devoted to the cats, and drinks such as cacao and beer are served. The space can also be booked for workshops and other events, and the project is supported by a community of cat lovers.
