Shared spaces
for second chances.
Meowhaus builds cat-conducive enclosures inside cafés and commercial spaces, giving rescued, adoptable cats daily exposure to the people who might take them home.
Stray overpopulation is a nationwide crisis in the Philippines
Across the board, the local animal welfare community is struggling with the same broken variable: adoption.

Three parties, one simple arrangement
Cafés and commercial spaces with cat-conducive environments host a cat enclosure on their premises.
We build the enclosure and facilitate the collaboration between the venue partner and the animal welfare org.
Animal welfare organizations rent the enclosure monthly to showcase their resident adoptable cats.
The right space, the right org
We're as selective about the spaces we enter as we are about the cats we bring in.
The right venue partner
- Established fanbase and steady foot traffic — or clear room to grow it
- Progressive ownership, open to trying something new
- Climate-controlled indoor space with air conditioning
- A calm, low-stimulation atmosphere — soft lighting, quiet music
- Consistent ambience day to night, not a café-by-day, bar-by-night flip
- A tame, family-friendly customer base
The right AW org
- A high rescue cat base with a low adoption rate — the orgs that need this most
- Cats that are vaccinated, neutered, litter-trained, and genuinely adoptable
- A good reputation for responsible rescuing
Built for both sides of the partnership
The benefit runs one direction: toward you.
A unique reason to visit
Cat-lovers and curious passersby alike are drawn to this novel attraction over other cafes nearby.
Organic, customer-generated content
Customers photograph and share the cats without prompting, generating organic social content other cafes would otherwise pay influencers for.
No new operational burden
Meowhaus handles upkeep and liability protocols, while the AW org handles feeding, cleaning, and vet care. Your staff responsibilities remain unchanged.
Built-in CSR story
Advocacy is attractive. Using your space to help animals sends a message of business with a heart.
Adoption was once a hard sell. Now it's only a matter of time.
Steady exposure to a large audience
The cats' constant presence in a relaxed setting converts passive foot traffic into potential adopters.
A professional space at fractional cost
A fully furnished enclosure with air filtration and CCTV, plus administrative services, provided at lower cost than standard commercial options.
Additional fundraising channel
The space supports donation drives and merch sales, providing a secondary revenue stream to counterbalance shelter and adoption costs.
Reduced per-cat holding cost
Every unadopted cat is a monthly cost burden. A faster turnover means fewer cats to pay for.
Purpose-built, not improvised
The cat enclosure is designed and crafted in-house, to fully meet the commercial needs of the space while remaining perfectly safe and cozy for its resident cats.
Your space, your specs
Every enclosure ships with a storage cabinet, small and large nap areas, a litterbox, a scratching post, and climbing shelves, sized to the space.
Your only contribution is the space itself
Your adoptable cats take the spotlight
*Any exceeding utilities will be covered by the AW org.
Serious benefits, protection for all parties
Veterinary care and oversight
Cats are vaccinated, neutered, and under the AW org's ongoing veterinary care before and during placement. Medical decisions remain the responsibility of the AW org, per its own protocols.
Cleanliness and odor control
The enclosure includes odor-control systems and a defined cleaning schedule managed by the AW org, with 24/7 CCTV providing the venue visibility into upkeep at any time.
Customer safety and liability
The cattery is fully enclosed, requiring no direct customer contact with the cats. Incidents are covered under Meowhaus's liability arrangements.
From sign-up to move-in
Cattery size and style are picked, and an initial contract is signed.
The cattery is delivered and assembled onsite, ready for cats to move in.
AW org applies and is approved; the three-way contract is signed.
The cattery is stocked with pet essentials, and adoptable cats move in.
