Here are 9 paw-some pet cafes to visit for National Pet Day!

Happy National Pet Day to you, your furbabies, and all pet lovers! Whether you’re a paw-rent or prefer to play with other people’s pets, National Pet Day can be celebrated by everyone. If you don’t have your own pets, pet cafes are a great way to spread some puppy love to all animals, from hedgehogs to sheep to owls!

Here are the 10 paw-some pet cafes you can visit to get into the Pet Day spirit:

Learn all about what it’s like to take care of your own pets at Kotsumate Animal Room. This charming little pet cafe in Tokyo houses the Asian small-clawed otter — a rare breed native to Indonesia. You’ll also be able to observe and play with other otters, hedgehogs, and flying squirrels. At the end of your visit, you’ll receive an animal badge as a souvenir!

If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter books and films, you’ll love visiting Owl Cafe Akiba Fukurou! This pet cafe was opened in 2014 by a married couple who adored owls, so you can trust that the 36 owls that call this cafe home are well taken care of. Visits are limited to small groups, which is why the cafe is a calm and peaceful haven for both the owls and guests. In addition, you’ll get to know more about the different species of owls and how to safely interact with them.

You won’t be able to hold in your squeals once you meet the cutest micro pigs at Mipig Cafe! Have a fun time sipping on free-flowing drinks and munching on a mipig-inspired donut. Micro pigs are quite delicate, so it’s important to wait for the pigs to approach you and play with you.

An adorable cafe and even more adorable cats — these are what you can look forward to when you visit Catopia Cafe in Singapore! It’s a safe and cozy space to interact with these furry little creatures. You can enjoy coffee, snacks, and desserts as you pet and make friends with the kitties. Plus, the cafe is conveniently located near the MRT station, so you won’t have any trouble finding it.

Tokyo Snake Center offers a pretty unique experience in that snakes don’t seem like the cutest or the cuddliest pets, but there’s a first time for everything, right? Satisfy your coffee cravings at this pet cafe where you can choose which snake to share a table with. You’ll get a quick 101 on snake safety rules from your waiter, and then you can enjoy your lovely date with the reptile!

This pet cafe in Seoul gives guests a one-on-one encounter with raccoons! There’s a built-in raccoon habitat inside the cafe where you can interact with these fuzzy creatures before or after you snack on pastries, cakes, and tarts. Because raccoons have a lot of energy and tend to grab nearly anything, guests are not allowed to have any loose items while they're inside the habitat.

In Tokyo, you can find a cafe dedicated to hedgehogs, named HARRY Hedgehog Cafe. The cafe’s name comes from the Japanese word ‘Harinezumi,’ which means “needle mouse” and refers to hedgehogs. Aside from ordering your afternoon treats, you can also “order” which hedgehog you’d like to play with during your visit. And, if you end up vibing with your hedgehog, you can also purchase them and take them home with you!

Dog lovers, get ready to fawn over more than 10 huskies and other breeds of dogs at Huskitory Cafe in Malacca, Malaysia! Most of the huskies are show dogs, so you can expect them to be well-trained and very friendly as you get to know them over food and drinks. If you feel a spark with one of the huskies, feel free to tell the owner because you’ll actually be able to purchase them for yourself.

Feel like you’re at a park at Thanks Nature Cafe with its rustic, charming vibe, oh and two really fluffy sheep! The sheep are trained and roam around the cafe as guests enjoy Korean snacks, like strawberry waffles and bingsu. You’ll feel thankful for these cuddly animals by the end of your visit!
