嗜咖啡 TRYer Cafe

All of its resident cats were rescued, including a friendly orange tabby and a sensitive white cat that staff ask guests not to stroke, and the cafe promotes adopting rather than buying. The food is a cut above many cat cafes: pastas such as tomato bratwurst and creamy smoked chicken, risottos, steak and desserts, and for NT$100 more a dish becomes a set with a drink and homemade panna cotta. The minimum spend is NT$200 per person with no service charge. It is popular for remote work and is pet-friendly. Bookings are by phone on the cafe's landline, and special closures are posted in its Instagram stories.

白領貓手作餐廳
Kaohsiung0.5 mi / 0.8 km
白領貓手作餐廳 is a small rescue cat restaurant on Daren Street in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung. The ground floor is a tidy dining area with a friendly shop cat, and upstairs is a separate cat room where about a dozen rescued strays, mostly adults, can be stroked up close. The cats are dewormed, neutered and used to people, and they are available for adoption after the owner checks the adopter's home. The kitchen serves curry rice, beef rice, dumplings and other hot meals at set times, alongside afternoon-tea items such as Basque cheesecake, croissants, egg toast and brown sugar milk tea, at modest prices. Because the cats come first, the owner sometimes closes to take them to the vet, so booking ahead is advised, especially at weekends.

外帶一隻貓 Miao To GO is a cat cafe on Wenwu 2nd Street in Qianjin District, Kaohsiung. A group of resident cats, including a chatty black-and-white cat and an orange tabby, roam the cosy, cat-themed room of about 17 seats, and guests can stroke them as they wander between the tables.

The minimum spend is one drink per person, and the cafe is also pet-friendly. The cats are free to rest whenever they like, so on some visits they may be asleep for a while before coming out to play.

Kaohsiung0.6 mi / 1.0 km
厝內 tshù-lāi, Taiwanese for 'at home', is a small cafe in a lane off Nanhua Road in Xinxing District, Kaohsiung, laid out like a tiny bookshop and home to three resident cats. The cats wander freely and are friendly, but guests may not pick them up or feed them, and should take care that they do not slip out of the door. 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. Opening times sometimes change, so check Instagram before visiting. It is a favourite with students who come to study among the cats.
