Cat Cafes in Eastern Province

Al Khobar, Eastern Province

Pets Park is a cat lounge on Prince Bandar Street in Al Khobar Al Shamaliyah, Al Khobar, running under the slogan 'Qahwa w Qatwa' (coffee and a kitty). It opened as a café with a cat room and became one of the best-known cat cafés in the Eastern Province, later adding a branch in Dammam. The cat room holds around 25 cats of various breeds, and visitors buy a ticket for a half-hour session; treats can be bought to feed the cats, which tend to gather around anyone who opens a packet. At this branch the café side has been scaled back, and the venue now mainly operates as a cat room with timed entry. Bookings for groups, birthdays and events are taken by WhatsApp. It is popular with families with children and is open every afternoon and evening.
