Cat Cafes in Riyadh

Riyadh

PETOYA ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌⁠is a licensed cat hotel and veterinary clinic on Al Kawthar Street in Al Aarid, north Riyadh, that also runs a cat lounge where visitors can spend time with its resident cats. Opened in 2022 as one of the first licensed cat hotels in Saudi Arabia, it combines boarding, a vet clinic, a grooming salon, a pet supply store and a dedicated play room with more than 20 friendly cats of different breeds and ages. Visitors pay a per-person fee for a half-hour session in the cat room, take off their shoes before going in, and can buy treats to feed the cats; some tickets include a drink. Staff supervise the room, and the lounge is popular with families with young children. It is open every day from 3 PM to 10 PM.
