In Alkhobar’s Villaggio Village, a new attraction is purring its way into hearts: The Cat Garden. Unlike typical pet cafes in the Kingdom, this venue stands out as a dedicated space solely for interacting with cats.
Located in the Eastern Province, The Cat Garden distinguishes itself by focusing purely on feline companionship. Visitors pay for their chosen duration, enjoy playtime with a variety of cats, and leave refreshed. Before entering, guests complete a form outlining guidelines, ensuring awareness of do’s and don’ts. Staff checks for allergies and addresses queries, while visitors must wear shoe coverings and use provided hand sanitizer.
Once formalities are done, guests indulge in playful interactions with cats, each boasting its unique personality. Some prefer lounging for gentle strokes, while others exude energy, delighting in lively engagement. All cats reside on-site, with careful rotation to manage stress levels in public areas.
The Cat Garden welcomes visitors Monday to Saturday, from 1-10 p.m., with rates starting at SR25 ($6) for 15 minutes and SR35 for 30 minutes. Treats are available for purchase to further pamper these furry residents, enriching the experience of feline enthusiasts in Alkhobar.
