As a self-proclaimed cat lady, the concept of remaining in a space filled with cats is a dream become a reality for me.
So, when I heard there was a brand-new area for cat fans in the area called Meownistry of Meow, you wager I leapt at the chance to pay them a go to.
Upon impressions, some might merely consider Meownistry of Meow as another run-off-the-mill family pet coffee shop.
But it’s a lot more than that.
The shophouse, which is easily situated near Haji Lane, has actually been thoroughly developed to work as both a co-working space and a lounge.
And on top of that, the location likewise acts as a short-lived foster home for roaming and abandoned cats.
Curious to see how this works, I paid them a see on Friday (May 12) and I believe I’ve discovered my brand-new preferred hideaway in Singapore.
A purr-fect environment for work and play
Fun truth: The 4 creators of Meownistry of Meow likewise own an interior decoration business together, so they managed their own restorations.
And I need to state that they did a respectable job in making the space favorable for both work and play.
Well-geared up with a lot of tables, chairs and totally free Wi-Fi to boot, visitors who exist to work can discover themselves a cosy area to respond to some e-mails or end up their research.
I too made myself comfy on among the couches at the open lounge while I responded to my work messages.
I’ll be truthful and state that I anticipated to get a little sidetracked here — specifically because I have such a soft area for cats.
But remarkably, I handled to tick things off my order of business with no problems.
While doing so, among the roaming cats even cuddled up versus my leg and his motivating, mild purring put me in rather an efficient work state of mind.
I likewise like how clients are enabled to bring their own food and beverages.
Apart from that, the little kitchen location of the space is geared up with a microwave, refrigerator, and even an air-fryer.
The refrigerator likewise is well-stocked with a lot of package beverages so you’ll never ever go thirsty.
Private spaces for personal cat time
Prefer a little personal privacy? Meownistry of Meow likewise provides personal spaces of numerous sizes for visitors to work or play.
These come geared up with video gaming consoles like Nintendo Switches and PS5s for those of you who are players.
Some of these spaces likewise have cat flaps, so the cats can stroll in and out at any time they like.
You can even hold group conferences here. On the 2nd level of the space, the veranda has actually been transformed into a large, air-conditioned conference room, total with a tv for discussions.
It does not simply need to be for work either. My coworker and I invested a long time here on the carpeted flooring cooling and having fun with the cats. We truthfully could not bear to leave.
And my preferred part about this location? The karaoke room.
I truthfully was not anticipating much when I heard there was a karaoke room and I visualized the set-up to be comparable to those individuals generally have in their living-room.
So, I was shocked to see that the karaoke room here was geared up with an expert karaoke system, plushy reclining chair chairs, and even video gaming consoles.
The interior is likewise perfectly embellished with strip lights, which actually sets the state of mind.
And yes, cats are welcome in the karaoke room too, so you can delight in vocalizing your preferred tunes with a purring cat at hand.

What I like the most about Meownistry of Meow is the truth that you can in fact adopt the cats.
One of Meownistry of Meow’s primary objectives is to alleviate the suffering of malnourished, abandoned, and maltreated cats.
So, as a short-lived cultivating home, the cats here are mainly abandoned, roaming, or rescue cats who are searching for a fur-ever home and owner.
Currently, there are 13 cats under their care, and if you feel an unique bond with any of them, you can let them understand that you want to adopt them.
The adoption charge is $250 and features a take-home set, which works for newbie cat owners.
It will not spend a lot
Compared to other family pet coffee shops on the marketplace, I discovered the costs here extremely sensible.
A one-hour pass expenses simply $10 while a two-hour pass would be $18. Staying the entire day? It’ll cost $30.
If you anticipate yourself spending a great deal of time here (as I do), you can go with the package handle 10 one-hour passes for $50.
There’s likewise a 30-day pass which costs $195 for trainees and $250 for the public.

The karaoke room costs $35 per hour from Mondays to Thursdays and $40 per hour for Fridays to Sundays along with Public Holidays and the eve of Public Holidays.
It’s huge enough to hold 15 individuals and because it’s charged by the hour rather of per pax, I discover it an excellent deal.
