Travel Throwback | Purrfect Bonding in Tabby Town Cat Cafe and Corgi Club

Four to five years ago, there was a dog and cat cafe located in Silang, Cavite which is now closed after the pandemic. Indeed, it is a haven for pet lovers especially if they want to spend their "me time". 

Fifteen minutes away from Tagaytay Market or from Nuvali, there is a cat cafe where you can spend time with the different breeds of cats and dogs. Located in Brgy. Lumil, Silang, Cavite, accessible to the cities of Santa Rosa, Laguna, and Tagaytay City, this cafe offers not only pets, but also cool beverages and sumptuous food, as you mingle with these furry animals.

There are different breeds of cats found in this cafe such as Scottish Fold, Scottish Straight, American Shorthair, Persian, Siamese, and other foreign breeds. You can also enjoy your stay here as you take milkshakes or coffee while feeding and cuddling cats and dogs.

Feeding the cats is one of the best experiences in this cafe.

Right after the Taal eruption and the pandemic, the cat cafe closed as they faced challenges in their business. Hence, their Facebook page is still active, as they are selling and giving their cats and dogs for reasonable price. Therefore, they are still looking forward to reopening once again, as they find business partners to support the establishment. Lastly, this cafe is the place that I really missed so much after the pandemic because of the cozy ambiance and the relaxing mood of playing with cats and dogs - a perfect place for pet lovers.
