The CAT MUSEUM, MUSES & MANSION pays tribute to the cats of Singapore by tracing the history of local Malayan cats, cats that came on ships with our forefathers from India and China, the arrival of British cats during the colonization period and Japanese cats during occupation, and develops a hypothesis of what is affectionately branded as the Lion City Kitty™ - the Singapore resident cats.

The CAT MUSEUM is located in the heart of the Civic District of Singapore.

The Museum features history of cats around the world as well as touching stories of cats and their humans, and the important roles they play in each community.

Visitors can admire the specially curated cat photographs, art and crafts from around the world, including the founder’s personal collection and commissioned pieces.

I love this place! I spent forever cuddling with the kittens. You can tell they really care for and love the cats here. Much better than the cafes where you can't cuddle with the cats.

This looks beautiful! We recently lost our cat of 14 years and then 2-3 months later bought another one from a shelter. We love her! This looks like a very rewarding place to work in and would love to go and have a look or be part of this.

This is truly a great place. If you love animals, you will appreciate it. It is totally run by volunteers (I would know - I volunteer there twice a week. It's an honour). It's difficult to see the new cats that arrive, as they have been abandoned... but soon enough, they are cleaned, fed, and LOVED. I prefer this place over cat cafes since it's only open to the public a few days of the week - less stress for the sweet cats! The cats aren't stuck in cages like other shelters. They hang out with one another, in hopes that someone will adopt them and give them a forever, loving home. A fun place to brings kids too.
