Pet Friendly places in Hong Kong are increasing. Most of them claim to welcome both cats and dogs, honestly, cats are not really suitable to stay with unfamiliar dogs in a close space.

Perhaps the following suggested places could be a good option?

As a cat cafe, no doubt that a lot of cats are living in it, with a total of 15 cats, some of them are cats to be adopted, so the cafe is also a temporary shelter for stray cats.

The interior utilized Japanese minimalist design, with brown as the main tone, with tatami mats for guests to sit and chill. The walls are nailed with stairs for cats to jump on. There is also a cat tree in the center and even a trail in the ceiling, so it is definitely a cat’s version amusement park. Cats usually stay indoors, and the outdoor platform has multiple spots fot phot-taking, decorated with botanical paintings. Tripod is provided for photoshoot which may give a different kind of vibe.
Cat Jungle Cafe adopts an entrance fee system. Each person is charged for $68 for the first hour (including a drink), and $48 per hour afterwards (including a drink). The cafe also provides other snacks or main dishes such as carbonara, simply remember to make an appointment beforehand. There is no additional charge for cat entry, but in order to protect the health of the cats in the cafe, health certificate need to be shown for cat's first entry.

Wild Cat Challenge - Beach
If your cat exceeds the rest in bravery and wisdom, and the general indoor place can't satisfy it, you might as well take it to nature. It can be a good try to take it to the beach for fun, since the wide beach is like a super giant cat litter tray, the cat can madly display the skill of playing sand!! However, pets are not allowed in all beaches under the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department, as long as you go to areas outside the duty of lifeguards, or go to some other non-government-managed beaches, you can have fun with pets. There is no shortage of pet-friendly beach options in Hong Kong, Park Island in Ma Wan, Long Ke Wan in Sai Kung, Pak Lap Wan in Sai Kung, Sharp Island in Sai Kung, Dragon Beach in Tuen Mun, Lamma Power Station Beach in Tai Wan To, and Ting Kau Beach, etc, are all popular with pet owners.

Taking cats out is not the a must. After all, many cats are introverted, not as energetic as dogs. Before taking the cats out, remember to prepare a carrier to prevent the cat from getting lost, and make sure that the cat enjoys the outing. If the cat just likes to stay indoors, don’t force it~
