Robbie ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌⁠Bobbie Cafe is a cat cafe on the ground floor of Biraal Bari, a cat sanctuary run by the charity AniRBan Trust on Road 12 in Block L of Bashundhara Residential Area, Dhaka. The two-storey building, arranged around a central courtyard, houses dozens of rescued street cats, including senior, injured and paralysed cats that live on the upper floor. Diners eat indoors, away from the cats, and spend time with the cats in the dedicated cat areas, which include a glass-fronted cat room and an outdoor play space. Instead of an entry fee, each visitor is expected to order from the menu of coffee, mocktails, pizza, noodles and grills. Cats from the sanctuary can be adopted free of charge, and the cafe's income helps pay for their care. The cafe is open every day from noon until midnight, while the cat zone closes earlier in the evening.

Mihan's ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​⁠Cat Cafe is a small cat cafe on Road 21 in Banani, Dhaka, run from a flat in a residential building rather than a street-front shop, and it also sells pet accessories. A handful of resident cats, several of them Persians, share the room with visitors, who can order snacks and drinks while they play with the cats. There is no published entry fee or booking system, and the cafe has little online presence, so visitors should call ahead to confirm that it is open and to get directions to the flat. It is generally open from midday into the evening, opening later in the afternoon on Fridays and Saturdays.
