Cat Cafe Manila Turns One!




Welcome to Cat Cafe Manila - a place where feline lovers can come to eat, drink, and most importantly, play with, you’ve guessed it, CATS! In partnership with CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) Welfare Philippines, Cat Cafe Manila provides a home for beloved puspins (pusang pinoy) who will eventually be placed up for adoption.
Cat Cafe Manila
“Our mission is to spread our love for cats and advocate for responsible pet ownership while delivering a themed cafe experience to our consumers through our loving cats and mouth-watering food and drinks.”

Cat Cafe Manila recently celebrated their first anniversary (read about CCM's opening last year). As they turned one, they hope to expand and find more permanent homes for rescued cats. Currently, Cat Cafe Manila serves as the home of 14 puspins, all of which have been spayed or neutered - making them friendlier and more behaved compared to other cats. They also get regular check-ups at the CARA clinic and are periodically vaccinated to ensure they are healthy.

Cat Cafe Manila provides a safe and orderly environment for both cats and humans by limiting the number of people in the cafe to 15 persons per hour. The cafe accommodates walk-ins, but only when the cafe is not fully booked. Reservations can be made through their website (CatCafeManila.com) to ensure that you get in on your preferred time slots. All tickets are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and payment will be done upon entry to the cafe. A minimal admission fee of P200 will be charged - P100 of which will go to the cats (food, litter, medical expenses, etc.) and the remaining P100 will be a consumable amount in the cafe which can be used for food, drinks, and merchandise.

All of the puspins found at Cat Cafe Manila are up for adoption, but they don’t just give the cats to anyone. It’s a five-step process which starts with choosing a cat. The next steps involve an application form, an interview, a home visit, and lastly, an adoption fee of P800 to be paid to the CARA clinic. The goal is to ensure that the cats go to permanent and loving new homes, hence the extensive process. To date, they have already adopted out six puspins to new families.
