Purradise is any cat lover’s dream, with resident cats, which the cafe calls their “kittizens”, roaming the cafe and cuddling up to guests. The cafe serves up smoothies and hot drinks such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate, as well as having light snacks and sandwiches on the menu. It cost RM15 for the first hour of “furry time”, which is inclusive of a drink.

The cafe exists to promote the well-being of cats, as each of the resident cats were rescues. The cats at Purradise are all adoptable, so if you happen to fall in love with one, or five, you can look into bring him, her or them home with you.

Clawset was created with the vision of having a space where owners could not only bring their favourite furry friends, but where the pets could roam freely. Opening in 2014, they did just that. Clawset is home to resident dogs, but also welcomes four-legged visitors and their owners. It is also a place for those who may not have pets themselves to come and enjoy cuddle and play time with new furry friends.

The human menu offers waffles and plenty of cakes, which can be accompanied by tea, coffee or one of the cafe’s mocktails. There’s also healthy dog snacks for sale to ensure your pooch isn’t drooling over your waffles!

3. The Hound KL, Taman OUG

Cookie, a charming five-year-old beagle with an inquisitive love for humans, will welcome visitors to The Hound, a hangout that’s hopelessly devoted to dogs, with canine portraits galore on the walls.

This pet-friendly setting feels deeply personal and deftly put together; we particularly like the colourful stained-glass window shutters that look out on the bustling neighbourhood. Patrons are welcome to enjoy The Hound with their own dogs too, however, owners of the cafe would appreciate male dogs to be diapered.

The owner’s three dogs will bark a friendly welcome to patrons at Sri Hartamas’ pet cafe Cubs and Cups, whose motto is ‘Pets Welcome, People Tolerated.’

Puppy love could certainly blossom here, with many customers strolling in with their own canine companions. Even if you don’t have your own pup to bring along, you can meet the owner’s dogs, who often pop in for pats and cuddles, or mingle with other friendly dogs that visit the cafe.
