貓系戀愛研究所 is a reservation-only cat and dog cafe on Shezhong Street in the Shezi area of Shilin District, Taipei. The cafe is split into separate rooms, so you can move between a cat room with a large group of affectionate resident cats and a dog room with four friendly dogs, including two big Alaskan Malamutes and a French Bulldog, plus a few pet geckos. The dining area is kept apart from the animals, so there is no fur in the food, and the space is kept clean and odour-free. The menu is a short list of light meals, pizza, desserts and drinks. All visits must be booked in advance through the cafe's LINE account. It suits visitors who love both cats and dogs and want plenty of hands-on time with each.

光嶼 is a rescue cat cafe on Hami Street in Datong District, Taipei, near Yuanshan MRT station. Its name combines light and island, and the owners run it as a calm refuge where rescued street cats recover and wait for new homes. Many cats live here, mostly moggies with a few British Shorthairs, and they are gentle and sociable; a separate cat room lets you sit among them, while the front seating area stays free of cat smells. The owners introduce each cat and are happy to talk about adoption. The menu is simple and affordable: coffee, cakes and refillable herbal and jujube teas, and the quiet room with soft music suits reading or working. Seating is limited, so asking ahead before visiting is a good idea.

KONEKO CAFE is a fully plant-based cafe with resident cats on Dihua Street Section 1 in the Dadaocheng area of Datong District, Taipei. The shop is decorated with cat touches throughout and is home to three cats, two tabby moggies and an orange cat, who come and go around the room; they sometimes wander off on their rounds, so meeting them is a matter of luck. There is no time limit, and an upstairs seating area opens at weekends. Everything is vegan: oat-milk lattes, whisked matcha lattes and Sicilian-style iced coffee, plus egg- and dairy-free bakes such as cinnamon rolls, Basque cheesecake and puddings. The cafe has recently started late-evening opening on some days. It is a relaxed stop while exploring Dihua Street rather than a dedicated cat lounge.

貓咪摸摸茶 Cat Patting House is a small cat lounge on the eighth floor of an office building on Linsen North Road in Zhongshan District, Taipei. Its main business is cat boarding, but the owner also runs a pour-over coffee bar and yoga classes in the space, and his own family of about five Bengal cats comes to work with him. The Bengals, a mother with her grown kittens and a couple of more aloof elders, are friendly and well groomed, and the owner introduces each one and will coax the shy ones out. Entry costs NT$250, which can be put towards a coffee, and there is no time limit. Shoes come off at the door. The owner speaks good Japanese. The building can be tricky to find, so check the directions on the cafe's social pages before visiting.
