Thank you for checking out my post. Please visit my new blog https://letsgoady.com/travel/. I am posting there every week about my recent travels and lifestyle. Thank you. XOXO -ady
Way back, I'm not really fond
of pets. Maybe because during my early childhood I was hit by bunch of dogs.
Yeah I know that's funny, but that left me with big time fear.
This is eventually gone when my
father adopted a baby half-lab by which we named "Potchie". Potchie
was gone now after more than 10 years with us.
Eventually a stray cat was also
adopted, fed, and as expected created her feline family at home. Extended
family - more fun in the Philippines!
After that, I was more used to
having pets at home. Sometimes, they are being stepped on because they love
roaming around. But most of the times they are the one who made mess especially
destroying the household furniture. Ohh yes! They are cute and evil.
So when I heard from a friend
that a cat cafe opens its door to feline lovers here in Manila, I became
ecstatic. And yes we went there on the next day which happens a weekend. Hooray
for the weekend!
Upon reaching the building from
the address, I was a bit hesitant. The building shows no sign of the cafe
(UPDATE: I've saw from their Facebook page that they've already installed a
signage - Good job!). We went to the 2nd floor and voila!, cat designs are all
around the place. Before you can come in, the owner will ask you to sign to their
guestbook and to sanitize too! You need to use their indoor footwear as well -
for free.
During our visit, the cafe can
only accommodate limited number of guests. That's why reservations are needed.
But as far as I know they already expanded the cafe, which means more people to
accommodate.
We met the 2 owners and told us
that the resident cats are their own pets. Well it is evident that these cats
are home cared because they are not snob and are used to having a lot of
visitors. Well, as a matter of fact they are lovely and cuddly.
The cafe ambiance is homey, you
may just sit down and relax or go lively and play with the cats roving around.
Just don't disturb and wake up the cats - they deserve privacy and rest as
well!
We ordered Yogurt Milkshake,
Mac and Cheese and slice of cake. The foods are OK but not exceptional. They
are enough of food variants to choose from and cupcakes are too cute to be
consumed.
There are instances where those
cuties will have their nap time on your lap, on top your table or just walk
around. Well, this one decides on having our table as her bed, so, because of
that she deserves a professional tummy massage! :D
Overall in terms of food,
ambiance, cleanliness, price and satisfaction - i'll totally recommend this
cafe!
HOW TO RESERVE
Reservations are needed but
luckily during our visit, the shop is still on their soft opening and the owner
happily accepts us. But for reservations, you may contact the cafe's mobile or
inquire to their facebook account.
HOW TO GET TO MIAO CAT CAFE
Coming from south, you may opt
to ride MRT or bus to north. Alight from North Avenue MRT station and walk
towards SM City North jeepney terminal station. From MRT, you'll pass by the
bus station and cross footbridge towards the SM terminal. Ride a jeepney with
signage to Luzon and tell driver to drop you at crossing of Mindanao Avenue and
Congressional Avenue. The landmark is when you saw BDO Bank and KFC facing each
other. From the side of BDO, walk towards the street of Congressional. Look for
Cake2Go shop. Miao Cat cafe is on the second floor of that building.

They highly recommend
reservations but they still welcome walk in guests, maybe depending on the
visitors inside the cafe.
P.S.
As you may have noticed they
are open for 2 hours straight and with 1 hour break interval. The break is
allocated for cleaning time to ensure the cleanliness of the cafe. Don't worry
they will still allow you to stay during the break but you can see staff's
cleaning the area.
