Cat cafes are not an adorable fad, especially to cat lovers who use public transportation. Indeed, they are a cheap, hassle-free method of de-stressing after work. The majority of those cafes can be located near MRT or LRT stations, which implies that you will be able to eat well and spend good time with cats and drive at the same time.
The people of these cat cafes can be described in a similar way; they can be planned as the case of a relaxed weekend hangout, a date or two, or a time alone, but in a more comfortable setting where transport would not be a problem at all. The cafes are not only clean and cosy, but also the cats are in good condition, and the food is unexpectedly good.
More to the point, these cafes function since they are cheap, friendly and are situated within a single building.
Poppy Kat Cafe – MRT Taman Mutiara.
Poppy Kat Cafe is a cafe that is only a 18 minutes walk away, but Taman Mutiara MRT station, which is situated in the midst of thousands of square meters of green areas, makes the place look more like a relaxing studio than a cafe. It is not hard because of its minimalistic interior, low-key lighting, and relaxed design to forget about the real life and just enjoy the moment.
The cafe has more than 10 rescued and adopted cats, and each of them has a personality. Some of them are playful and loving in nature and others like to nap close by. Interestingly, visitors are also permitted to carry their own cats provided that they are vaccinated and well behaved.
Furthermore, Poppy Kat Cafe has variety of food such as pasta, burgers, snacks and desserts at affordable prices.
