Frequently Asked Questions
Product Availability
Product Availability
All items listed on our website are available for purchase or procured for you in one of the following ways:
- Stocked in stores
- Stocked off-site with our trusted suppliers
- Specially indented for your purchase
Upon receiving your order, your purchases are picked and packed. Immediately unavailable items will be restocked, and your completed order will be dispatched once all items are available.
If an item in your order is out of stock, a member of Customer Support will be in touch to assist you with:
- A refund
- Recommendations for a similar item
We process refunds within the same working day, to your original mode of payment - No questions asked.
Repacking Services
We do not offer repacking services for dry foods for hygiene purposes.
Your cat food is kept freshest when sealed within the original product packaging. Once the seal is broken, it is recommended to consume the food within 1-2 months to avoid rancidity of the product.
Repackaging food into multiple smaller portions does not keep it fresher for longer as the food has been exposed to air and light. Most repackaging bags are also gas-permeable, compromising the integrity of the food.
Orders & Payments
Payment
We accept payments via the following methods:
Credit Card
We accept Visa/Mastercard/AMEX via Stripe or HitPay.
PayNow/PayLah!
Choose to pay from a local bank via HitPay.
Your payment may have failed for one of several reasons. Please reach out to our Customer Support team for assistance.

Once your order has been placed, it is scheduled for processing and packing. If you wish for the order to be recalled and canceled, you may email us quoting your order number. A handling and restocking fee of 5% on your order will be charged and the refund will be effected within 1-3 working days to your original mode of payment.
Checkout times can differ depending on individual internet speed and location.
If you have double-clicked, refreshed, or navigated away from the checkout while it was processing your request to initiate payment for an order, you may find that you have accidentally created a duplicate order. We are not able to process charges on your card without your consent.
If you have erroneously made a duplicate order and payment, we can assist with a cancellation provided the following conditions are met:
- You must contact us prior to dispatch of the order for delivery, for eligibility for cancellation.
- You agree to and will bear bank processing fees for cancellation of the order
Bank processing fees typically amount to 3% + $0.50 of the order total. (ie. an order of $100 will incur a bank processing fee of $3.50).
Bank processing fees are imposed by payment processors and credit card companies such as:
- Paypal
- Stripe
- VISA
- Mastercard
- American Express
- NETS
Bank processing fees are not refundable under any circumstance. If you prefer not to pay the bank processing fee, then we shall treat and fulfil the duplicate order as per normal.

Shipping & Self Collection
Local Shipping
We offer 4 different types of shipping methods for customers. You can select the method of your choice at the checkout.
Shipping Options | Rate | Fulfilment Time | Delivery Timing |
Store Collection | FREE | 1 working day | During store opening hours |
Flexi Shipping (Orders>$59) | FREE | 1 - 3 working days | 10 AM - 10 PM daily |
Paid Shipping (Orders <$59) | $6 | 1 - 3 working days | 10 AM - 10 PM daily |
Same-Day Delivery | $15 | Same-day | Same day, subject to product & slot availability [10 AM - 10 PM] |
We seek to deliver an order within 1-3 business days from the time it is processed.
You will receive an SMS and/or email as soon as your order leaves our fulfilment centre. If dispatched to you via courier, an SMS from our appointed delivery partner will be sent to you on the morning of the delivery date.
Orders placed during sale periods (etc. 11/11, 12/12 sales) and leading up to holiday seasons (etc. Chinese New Year, Christmas, Black Friday) or store closures may experience longer than usual fulfilment times.
Our parcels are delivered by J&T Express. Bulky or frozen items are delivered in-house during specific timeslots.
If there is a chance you may be uncontactable during delivery of your order, we provide three actionable choices that you may instruct our shipping partners to undertake.
- Leave order at door
- Leave order in riser
- Attempt re-delivery of your order ($6 redelivery fee will apply)
These options are available for your selection at the checkout page and serve as instructions for our shipping partners on the next best course of action should they be unable to contact you personally for the handover of your parcels.
The action of requesting for your order to be left unattended is referred to as an "Authority to Leave" (ATL).
It is important to note that parcels cannot be delivered or left unattended if our shipping partners are not granted access to the delivery address. This includes locations and situations such as:
- Gated condominiums
- Gated landed properties
- Passcode protected properties
- Security guards preventing delivery access to the unit
- Customers not being present to allow entry to the property
While our delivery partners endeavour to do their best to successfully deliver your parcels, they should not be expected to trespass. If it should not be possible to gain access to a delivery address, our delivery partners will not be able to proceed with an ATL, even if opted for.
What does an Authority to Leave (ATL) mean for me?
An ATL equates to a transfer of responsibility for the goods from us to you or your authorised party. Responsibility for all items are transferred to you upon delivery of the parcel.
Once an ATL is provided, and should our delivery partners be able to access the delivery address, the parcel will be left per the ATL, signifying completion of the delivery.
Please note that we are strictly unable to:
- Leave orders unattended if an ATL is not provided
- Accommodate return requests for ATL if your order contains frozen food items
- Process requests for refunds, exchanges or replacements for defective or missing items after the responsibility of the order has been transferred
24 hours prior to your allotted delivery slot, you should receive SMS and email notifications that your order is out for delivery to you.
Please ensure that your mobile number (Singapore mobile numbers only) and email address is accurately indicated prior to placing your order.
Local mobile numbers should NOT include area code or spacing; ie. 912345678.
Same-day delivery is subject to product availabilty as well as delivery slot availability. We generally ask that orders for Same-Day Delivery are submitted before 12pm daily, to be delivered within the next 24 hours.
You are encouraged to contact us at 62883636 to determine if your item is in stock first. Our customer service officers will assist with your request to expedite shipping prior to you making payment.
Please do not opt for this shipping method until you have received confirmation of a delivery slot being available.
Self-Collection
You may select "Pick Up" at your preferred Neko Neko Cat Store on the checkout page.
We require 1 working day to process and pack your order. Please make your way down to the store only when you have received a Collection is Ready SMS and/or email from us!
If you have an urgent request, please call us at 62883636 for assistance in expediting your pick-up.
- Fulfilment in Progress

Refunds & Returns Policy
A defective product shall be defined as one which:
- Contains missing parts required for operation or use
- Injured packaging that compromises the safety of use
- The customer believes is inferior in quality
Please note that lightly dented canned foods are not considered defective. The likelihood of cans denting during transit to you is elevated by a few factors, namely:
1. Movement of cans within the parcel (ie. minute spaces between cans of different sizes may cause denting)
2. Friction between cans of different sizes (ie. larger cans may dent smaller cans)
3. Friction between cans of different metal densities (ie. harder cans may dent softer cans)
In a bid to be environmentally friendly, we do our best to reduce packaging waste and filler material. If you are concerned or bothered by minor denting, we ask that you leave a request at checkout to ask that we take additional steps to secure your parcel with packing material such as foam peanuts, styrofoam or bubble wrap. However, such synthetic material have a harmful impact on our environment. We urge you to think keenly about the need for this before making such a request!
Refunds once initiated are immediate and automatically reflected in our system. However, your funds may take a couple days to get back to you.
Credit Card
If you've paid for your order using a credit card, the refund will be credited back to the same credit card. The fund reversal should reflect on your bank statement within 3-5 working days.
Debit Card
If you've paid for your order using a debit card, the refund will be credited back to the same debit card. The fund reversal should reflect on your bank statement within 9 working days.
PayNow or Equivalent Bank Transfer
Fund reversal should reflect within 14 working days. Please note that we will not be able to redirect refund to a separate bank account, credit card or PayPal account.

Subscriptions
Creating a Subscription
A subscription allows pet parents to automatically place orders for specific items to be delivered their doorstep!
When you sign up for a subscription, you are setting up a standing arrangement to have an order containing items of your choice generated automatically, to be processed on our web store at fixed intervals of your choice (etc. 1 month, 2 months).
With your permission, a charge will be placed automatically on your credit card and we will process these orders as if they were placed by you personally online - Saving you time and providing an element of added convenience! Certain products also allow pet parents to enjoy additional savings if they are subscribed to 🙂
Yes, you may! However, please be aware that the item may become unavailable on a future recurring subscription, and your subscription will end once the item or offer is no longer available for fulfilment or sale.
We reserve the right to withhold fulfilment of an order that contains items that cannot be fulfilled (ie. if they are no longer on sale, discount, or on offer).
Free gifts and samples will ship with your parent order, but not on subsequent renewals.
Such items if discovered will be removed from your subscription. The product(s) you have opted to subscribe to will otherwise ship as per normal!
Adjusting your Subscriptions

Subscription Continuity
A subscription is not a guarantee of product availability - However, we will do our best to ensure that your order is in stock as this gives us a greater indication of how much stock we need to keep handy for our pet parents!
We will undertake all reasonable efforts through proper forecasting and stock management to ensure that we are able to provide you with the items which you have subscribed to receive.
In the rare chance that we are unable to procure an item in your subscription plan, a member of our team will be in touch to provide personal assistance as per a regular order made with us.
Products we stock are occasionally affected by pricing changes that are passed on to us by manufacturers and distributors. We endeavor to absorb these price fluctuations as best as we can, but in the event of mandatory price amendments, we will be in contact to assist affected customers and amend their subscriptions with consent to reflect these changes.
If you do not wish to continue with your subscription at the new price, you may cancel your subscription - No questions asked.
We reserve the right to withhold fulfilment of an order that contains items that cannot be fulfilled (ie. if they are no longer on sale, discount, or on offer).

To have someone assist you with amending your subscription's renewal duration, please get in touch with us.
