Visiting a café with your human friends are such a thing of the past. For all animal lovers out there, you don’t have to look far to fulfil your needs to play with some cats and/or dogs. There are so many pet cafes scattered across Malaysia where you can play with some cuddly companions or even bring your own pets and introduce them to some new furry friends.
Purradise Café (Kuala Lumpur)
Purradise Café sets itself apart from the other cat cafes because they focus on giving their 21 resident cats, or “Kittizens” a healthy diet. The pet cafe also sells cat food under their own brand, Rawr, all made with natural ingredients that are highly beneficial for your feline friends at home.
For an hour of playtime with the adorable cats, it will only cost you RM15, inclusive a drink of your choice. Since the Kittizens are all about that healthy lifestyle, you can also follow their paw-steps by ordering one of the café’s healthy many like smoothies, fresh juices, whole meal sandwiches, and more.
We can assure you, it’s by far one of the best pet cafes in the Damansara area.

Huskitory Café (Malacca)
Playing with a bunch of energetic and cuddly huskies at a café sure is a fun way to pass the time but what if you can’t control the urge to take them home? Huskitory Café in Malacca is not just your typical pet café, it’s also an adoption center, a pet shop, and a groomer all at once.
To play with the doggies for 2 hours, it will cost you RM18 for adults and RM15 for children. This fee includes drinks, snacks, and selected husky merchandise that you can take home as memorabilia. There aren’t many quality pet cafes in Malacca, so if you’re ever in the are, make sure to book a reservation firsthand before giving Huskitory Café a visit.

Purr-fect Cat Café (Penang)
Penangites don’t have to look far to get a taste of the pet café trend. Situated right in Penang’s UNESCO heritage site is Purr-fect Cat Café, the purr-fect place for all feline lovers to hang out, de-stress, and even get some work done. On the first floor, you can find a souvenir shop filled with miscellaneous cat-related trinkets and on the second floor is where you can meet all nine resident cats.
The second floor is divided into two sections: a cat playroom and a cat-free space if the feline friends are distracting you too much from your work. What you need to do to play with these kitties is pretty simple; buy your food or drinks in the souvenir shop on the first floor and pass your receipt to the staff upstairs to play with the resident cats.

Cubs and Cups Café (Kuala Lumpur)
While this particular pet café doesn’t have resident pets, guests are welcomed to bring their own furry friends over. Cubs and Cups Café used to have a couple of resident huskies but due to their age and growing sizes, they were brought and kept at the owner’s home.
Be that as it may, you can bring your own dogs to Cubs and Cups café to play let them play with their smaller dogs while you enjoy one of their delicious dishes or drinks. Make sure you keep a close eye on your dogs, follow the rules, and clean up after them to make the playtime much more enjoyable for other dogs and their owners!

Meow Meow Café (Sarawak)
For a city named after a cat, you’d expect that Kuching would be rampant with pet cafes by now. But Meow Meow is actually Kuching’s first cat café to be opened. Meow Meow Café opened its doors in 2017 and its resident cats include two domestic cats, one Bengal cat, and 3 Persian cats.
The Bengal and the Persian cats are what differentiate Meow Meow Café from other cat restaurants in Malaysia. Most pet cafes usually have adoptable domestic cats that were rescued from the shelter or the streets so it’s nice to see a more exotic collection of feline friends in this Kuching cat café.

Kopicat Café (Subang Jaya)
You may already know this cat joint as Coffee Cottage but despite the change in name, the café still offers delectable food, thirst-quenching drinks, and beautiful feline friends. The cats at this SS15 pet café are not your average cats; they’re rescued stray cats that you can adopt and give a forever home to!
Kopicat Café works closely with Paws Animal Welfare Society, or PAWS Malaysia, to ensure that these cute kitties are properly taken care of and loved by the right owners. There are no time limits as to how long you can play with the furry friends at Kopicat Café.
The only catch is you have to order something off their menu to go into the cats’ special play room. But bringing your work there is not recommended because you’re guaranteed to be distracted by all the cats roaming around the café.
