How about working with a cat in your lap? If that sounds like heaven to you and you don't own a cat of your own, then head straight to Meownistry of Meow. This new co-working space doubles as a foster home for cats, and yes, these furry friends are all up for adoption.
Occupying two levels of a shophouse in Jalan Klapa, Meownistry of Meow has all you need for a productive day of work: roomy workspaces, bright and airy lounge areas, fast wifi, power points and unlimited light refreshments from the well-equipped kitchens. For those looking for some entertainment, private rooms also have game consoles, and almost half the upstairs space is occupied by a massive karaoke room that you can book for late-night hangs.
But there's no better entertainment than the cats. Rescued cats live alongside resident cats (a British shorthair and ragdoll owned by the founder Cindy) at Meownistry. Cared for by a team of seasoned cat rescuers, the hope is to get these rescued cats socialised and adopted by loving individuals and families. Whenever you need a break from work, cuddle with the charming lap cat Ella, play with rambunctious young toms like Freddie and Casper, or simply watch them climbing cat trees and play-fighting.
And who knows, you might leave with a forever friend. If you take a liking to any of the cats, you can kickstart the adoption process. To ensure that you and your chosen cat are suitable for each other, the Meownistry team carries out a robust screening and trial period too.
Passes start at $10 for an hour in the open lounge, going up to $40 an hour for weekends in the private karaoke lounge. For full details on prices and packages, meownistryofmeow.com.
