NekoTown Cat Cafe (Mandai)

NekoTown is a cat cafe at Mandai with around twenty-eight resident cats — far more than any other in Singapore — sitting right by the entrance to Bird Paradise.

The cats are a mix of British Shorthairs and Longhairs, Ragdolls, Munchkins and rescues, all used to being handled, and the number means there is always one in the mood for company rather than a room of cats asleep on high shelves. Visits are sold as thirty-minute, one-hour or two-hour sessions with a drink included, and the rate drops for each hour after the first. It is among the cheaper cat cafes here.

There is no minimum age, and you do not need a wildlife park ticket to come in — worth knowing, because most people assume everything at Mandai is bundled together. Weekend afternoons fill from around three o’clock, so a morning visit is the calm one. Mandai is a bus or a drive from the nearest station.
