Will my cats have a good quality of life in Taipei?

Hi Jennie!

As a cat lover myself, I can definitely relate to your question! Though I don't have personal experience in this, cats do seem to be well-liked in Taipei – in fact, the city is home to what is often cited as the world's first cat café! Also, in New Taipei, there's a "cat village". Also, the president of Taiwan famously has two well-loved cats, Think Think and Ah Tsai. The section on "feline culture" on this page is also a useful insight.

Based on all this, it seems like cats have a prominent place in Taiwanese culture – hopefully this puts your mind at ease. You might also find the Expat Arrivals article on travelling with your pets useful. Your best bet would probably be to hire a relocation company to ensure a smooth journey and entry into the country for your cats.

Best of luck with the move!

Hello, I am Myriam and I will be moving to Taipei this summer and I would like to thank you Jennie for the question you asked and also to Megan for the answer, it's reassuring because we have 2 cats and we were wondering if it will be ok for them.
