Another example of how the Yelp app helped me stumble across something totally random, totally cool, and totally local: Paws & Claws. At the end of last year, I was mulling over the possibility of bringing a pet to HK and wasn't sure if there were even enough stores to support its needs with food, supplies, and everything else. When I found the random listing for P&C, I decided to check it out.
The store is indeed small. From cat food to cat care, they were stocked full of all things feline. They had a good number of international products that I had yet to see in certain pet stores and the prices seemed reasonable. Sometimes pet stores are poorly maintained and have that "animal odor" but this one was clean and extremely presentable.
The owner, Isabella was super sweet and was able to answer my questions about laws, care products, and even where to find certain breeds of cats (at other stores!). In the store front, they had a small number of British Shorthair kittens running around and playing with each other. Her own cat, a 6 year old British short hair, was probably the friendliest cat I've met. I think I could've spent another hour in the store easily just perusing cat products.
Disclaimer: It's been a long time since I've been here. I'm not even sure if Paws & Claws is still around, but if I have any cat needs, I'm for sure heading here. read more
