Whether your furball is a ‘chonky,’ a diva, a zoomie master, or outright weird, felines of all shapes, sizes, and breeds deserve to be celebrated and pampered, if not every day, on International Cat Day.
The special occasion is held on August 8 every year to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help them and protect their welfare.
For the occasion, we rounded up the purr-fect spots in the metro and nearby provinces where you can take your adorable floofs on a date and fill their day with extra cuddles, ear scratches, and treats (and ours with great food, coffee, and furry company).
YK Fur Friends
It’s a pet grooming salon that doubles as a café, so it’s the best place to spoil your whiskered buddy with a nice warm bath and a full grooming session while you chill at the VIP lounge and treat yourself to a delicious snack platter, a delightful coffee or milk tea drink. Want to stay longer? There’s a play area too where your cat can get his zoomies out before heading home.

If you need a quiet place to study or catch up on work but need to bring your little kitty along, this is the best place to be. You also have a choice to have your pet checked up by a vet or groomed while you do your work.

If you find the metro a bit too overwhelming, have a little road trip up north and drop by Pampanga’s first cat café. Here, you can sip your cappuccino and hang out with their resident cats. But if you’re the type to just admire these furballs from afar, the café features a glass window where you can get a good view of their cute and wild antics while you enjoy your drink.

Pussa Coffee Shop
Or you can head down south in Lipa City to dine in with the café’s friendly cats that come in various breeds. There’s plenty of food and drink choices on their menu filled with cat-themed delights. You can stay two hours max mingling with their feline residents with a Php300 consumable fee. If you want it a quick rendezvous, there’s a Php150 consumable fee that lets you stay for 30 minutes.
