Bring your pets too at the Pat a Pet Cafe

In Bangladesh, most cafes and restaurants do not allow pets. Even if they do, there is no proper accommodation for those pets to settle in or for them to not be considered as being disruptive by others. Pat a Pet Cafe is fighting this notion by providing a safe and comfortable space for animals and people. With a friendly staff and the entire building being animal-friendly, with the added benefit of PAW Foundation being one floor below, this cafe is the perfect place for any animal lover. What makes this cafe more welcoming is that you can also bring in your pets.
