Cat Cafes in Macau

Macau Peninsula

Catfee is a rescue cat cafe on Rua das Estalagens (草堆街) in the old centre of the Macau Peninsula, a short walk from Senado Square and the Ruins of St. Paul's. It is run with a group of volunteers who rescue stray cats, and the cafe gives the rescued cats a home while they wait for adopters, with its income going towards the rescue work. The cafe has a pink, American retro-style interior with neon signs. Drinks and light food are served downstairs, and the cats live in a separate room upstairs, reached with a key card from the counter. There is no entry fee, but each guest must order a drink. Shoes come off before entering the cat room, food and drinks stay outside, and cat food can be bought to feed the cats. The cafe opens in the afternoon and closes on Mondays.

MEOWBEANS (喵逗) is a two-storey cat cafe on Rua Nova de São Lázaro in the São Lázaro quarter of the Macau Peninsula, close to the pastel buildings of Calçada da Igreja de São Lázaro and a few minutes on foot from Tap Seac Square. The ground floor is the dining area, and the upper floor is the cats' own space, home to around a dozen resident cats. The kitchen serves lunch, afternoon tea and dinner with a mix of Western and Asian dishes, and the cafe takes bookings for private parties and an omakase menu ordered in advance. There is no extra charge on public holidays. The cafe is pet-friendly. Reservations can be made by phone, and it is closed on Mondays.

M.ear (喵耳堂) is a small cat lounge on the first floor of Broadway Centre on Rua do Campo (水坑尾), opposite the McDonald's in the central Macau Peninsula. Alongside the cat space it offers ear-cleaning treatments, which gave the shop its name. Visitors pay an entry ticket that includes a drink and can then sit with the resident cats, read, or chat; the cats include Maine Coons and other breeds, each introduced by name on the shop's social media. Food is not served and eating is not allowed in the cat area. Small cat-themed gifts and toys are sold, and guests receive tokens that can be exchanged for keyrings. Regular sessions run in the afternoon from Tuesday to Sunday, and an evening session can be booked a day in advance. It is closed on Mondays.

Macau Peninsula

Laika Land (萊卡星球) is a large pet-friendly complex occupying the whole first floor of a building on Rua de Francisco Xavier Pereira, near Avenida de Horta e Costa on the Macau Peninsula. Besides a restaurant where owners can bring their own dogs and cats, it has a cat dining area, the Laika Peach Meow Garden (萊卡桃喵園), where guests eat and drink in the company of the venue's resident cats, with rabbits in a small-pet corner. Entry to the cat area works on a minimum spend per person, higher on weekends and holidays, with a reduced rate for small children. Guests are asked to keep their voices down and handle the animals gently. The site also includes a pet supply shop, grooming, cat boarding and a pet taxi service, so it can be busy and noisy at peak times. It is open every day.
