Prepared 17 October 2026.
The operator and these Terms
Going Home is registered as UEN 53527365K, trading as Going Home, at 47A Temple Street, Singapore 058592. Contact: contact@goinghome.sg. “We”, “us” and “our” refer to that operator. “You” refers to the person making a booking and, where applicable, the visitor subject to the relevant visit rules.
Version: GH-TERMS-20260928-1. Effective date:17 October 2026. These Terms apply to the website, ordinary visit reservations and visits once validly adopted and brought to your attention. Your booking details, the Booking Policy and the applicable visitor-care/consent document should be read with them. The Privacy Policy explains personal-data handling and is not a blanket waiver.
Nothing here removes a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded. Specific group arrangements must be agreed in writing before purchase; they cannot remove mandatory rights.
What a visit includes
Going Home is a rescued-cat interaction centre, not a guarantee of interaction with a particular cat. A visit provides access for the booked number of people and period, subject to safe admission and the cats’ welfare needs. Cats may sleep, hide, decline attention or be absent.
A booking does not buy exclusive use, adoption rights, a guaranteed photograph, food, treats or a workshop unless that inclusion is expressly stated before purchase. Photographs and stories on the website describe cats and the setting but do not promise that every animal or feature will be available at every visit.
We may give reasonable, proportionate directions to protect people and animals. This does not permit us to misdescribe a service or retain payment contrary to applicable law if we do not provide it.
Booking for yourself and other visitors
Provide accurate contact, age and concession information and check the visit details before submitting. You must have legal capacity or valid authority to make the reservation. If booking for other people, bring the relevant terms, privacy notice and safety information to their attention and obtain any necessary authority for their personal data.
A booking contact cannot automatically sign away another adult’s rights or act as legal guardian for a child. Any separate attendee consent must be obtained from the appropriate person through the approved process.
A normal 13+ ticket category is not a declaration that every visitor aged 13 or above may independently enter all contracts or sign every consent form.
Age, accompanying adults and concessions
Children under 6 are not admitted. Children aged 6–12 must attend with a paying accompanying adult, be supervised throughout and have an appropriate parent/guardian’s authority for any required consent. The current operational accompanying-adult threshold is 18; Children who are admitted are charged the applicable per-person rate.
Visitors aged 13 and above follow the normal visitor-ticket path. Senior concession eligibility begins at age 60. Student concessions require valid student EZ-Link eligibility evidence, and senior eligibility is checked at the venue. Routine checks do not require us to retain ID copies.
The current concession applies to eligible 60-, 90- or 120-minute weekday visits whose entire visit ends by 6:00 pm, excluding public holidays. If eligibility cannot be established, staff will explain any applicable standard-price difference before payment/admission; no unannounced charge will be made.
Dates, duration, availability and extensions
The current schedule is open Thursday–Tuesday; closed Wednesday, 12:00 pm–8:30 pm, and a 3:30–4:30 pm rest break. Published special closures and the availability shown for your selected date apply. Times are Singapore time.
Visits can be booked for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, currently up to 30 days ahead. Places must be available throughout the entire visit, not just at its start. A displayed time is not reserved merely because you selected it.
Ask staff about an on-site extension before your visit ends. An extension requires payment at the applicable per-person rate and space throughout the next half-hour; it cannot overlap the rest break or closing time. Do not remain beyond your booked end without staff approval.
Prices, taxes and the amount payable
Prices are in Singapore dollars and are per person. The current standard weekday rates for 30/60/90/120 minutes are S$10/S$18/S$26/S$34. Weekend and public-holiday rates are S$12/S$20/S$28/S$36. Eligible weekday concession rates for 60/90/120 minutes are S$15/S$23/S$31. The current additional half-hour rate is S$8 per person, subject to availability.
No GST is currently charged under the confirmed operating scope. The final booking review must disclose the payable total and any applicable charge before you commit.
Check your booking review and keep its confirmation. A later rate change does not retrospectively reprice an existing reservation. If an obvious error is identified, we will explain it and seek agreement rather than charge an undisclosed amount; any cancellation/refund consequence remains subject to law and the operator-cancellation provisions below.
When a reservation exists
The calendar selection and booking-review screen do not reserve capacity. Our system checks availability again when you submit the reservation request. A reservation exists only when the system issues a booking reference and reservation status, subject to the stated payment or arrival conditions.
“Pending payment”, “pending verification” and “reserved — payment at venue” describe different states. Do not assume that a payment declaration is bank verification or that an unsubmitted booking-review page holds seats.
PayNow and manual confirmation
If you answer Yes to “Can you pay via PayNow?”, use only the approved merchant details and instructions shown for your reservation. Check the merchant name/UEN in your banking application, transfer the exact amount and include the requested booking reference. The displayed QR is static; do not assume the amount or reference will be entered automatically.
The default payment window is 10 minutes from creation of the reservation. Follow the exact deadline shown for your booking. After paying, use the same booking link to submit “I’ve Paid — Submit for Confirmation” before that deadline and provide the available transaction reference.
A timely declaration keeps your places reserved for review but does not itself confirm receipt. Authorised staff manually check the bank records before issuing final payment/booking confirmation. A screenshot, debit notification or click alone is not verification.
If you already paid, do not pay again because of a reminder. Contact us using your reference so staff can reconcile the transfer. We will not ask for your banking login, PIN or one-time password.
Payment at venue and the separate arrival deadline
If you answer No to the PayNow question, the system may issue a reservation with payment due at the venue. That reservation occupies capacity, but it is not a statement that payment has already been received.
Arrive by the exact arrival-by time shown, normally 10 minutes before the booked start, so staff can complete payment and admission checks. Early arrival does not permit room entry before your booked time. This arrival condition is separate from the PayNow payment timer.
Your reservation email/link may also allow you to make and report PayNow payment later against the same booking. Do not make a second booking merely to change payment arrangements. Contact staff if the displayed state is unclear.
Staff may release an unarrived, unpaid venue reservation after its arrival-by deadline. Please contact us before the deadline if delayed; requesting help does not guarantee the place will be retained.
Expired reservations, payment errors and refunds of unmatched funds
An unpaid PayNow reservation may expire if no timely payment declaration is submitted. Its places are then released. Do not pay an expired reservation even if an old QR image remains visible.
If you paid but missed the deadline, paid twice, used an incorrect reference or paid an incorrect amount, contact us promptly with the booking and transaction details. We will investigate; a late transfer does not automatically restore places or authorise entry. A fresh capacity check and explicit confirmation are necessary before a late-payment visit can proceed.
Where funds are verified but no visit can be provided, staff will arrange the appropriate resolution, which may include a manually authorised refund after identity/payment checks. We will not treat a duplicate or unmatched receipt as a donation by default. No refund is processed automatically by the website.
Customer cancellation, lateness, changes and no-shows
Under the confirmed booking policy, customer cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable, subject always to non-excludable legal rights, operator-caused non-performance and any exception expressly agreed by authorised staff.
Late arrival does not move the booked end time or guarantee make-up time. Leaving early at your own choice does not ordinarily entitle you to a refund for unused minutes. A venue reservation may also be released as explained above.
Rescheduling, name/party changes and exceptional requests require staff agreement and availability; they are not guaranteed by sending an email. Until a change is confirmed, the original reservation and deadlines remain in place. Added visitors or duration require a new price/capacity check.
We will assess exceptional requests reasonably and may ask for proportionate supporting information. Do not send full medical records or identity-document copies unless a justified, secure process is specifically agreed.
If Going Home must cancel or materially interrupt a visit
Animal welfare, illness, building or equipment problems, emergencies or other circumstances may require a change or closure. We will notify affected booking contacts as soon as reasonably practicable and explain the options.
If we cancel before providing your visit, we can offer a suitable replacement date. If we materially stop a visit after it begins for a reason not caused by your breach, offer an appropriate refund for the unprovided portion or an agreed alternative.
A routine variation in which cats are present is not necessarily cancellation of the described service. We will not use an animal-welfare or force-majeure clause as a blanket excuse to keep money for a service we do not provide. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply.
Respect for cats and other visitors
Follow staff directions and allow cats to decide whether to approach. Do not chase, restrain, pick up or force contact with a cat unless staff expressly permit and supervise it. Do not disturb cats that are sleeping, eating, hiding or receiving care. No visitor feeding or outside treats.
Keep doors and gates secured as directed and do not bring other animals into the centre without prior agreement. Keep noise and movements calm; do not harass other visitors or staff. Supervise children continuously and keep personal belongings away from cats as instructed.
We may pause an interaction or require a visitor to leave where reasonably necessary for safety or welfare, including serious or repeated disregard of instructions. Staff should explain the reason where safe and practicable. Any refund decision must consider the circumstances and applicable rights; removal is not an automatic forfeiture of every legal remedy.
Animal-contact risks, incidents and access needs
Live animals may scratch, bite or behave unexpectedly even when cared for responsibly. Fur, dander and other environmental exposures may cause allergic reactions; an animal-contact space cannot be promised to be allergen-free. This information explains foreseeable risks, not an exclusion of our duty of care.
People who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems should get medical advice before visiting, because of infections cats can carry.
We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who appears unwell or under the influence.
Tell staff promptly about an injury or unsafe condition. Obtain appropriate medical attention when needed. Please follow hygiene guidance and avoid attending when illness could place other people or animals at risk.
Contact us before booking about access requirements or assistance so we can explain the actual premises and arrangements without making unsupported promises. Only share health information genuinely needed for that discussion; ask for a suitable private communication method. We do not provide medical advice.
Any visitor-care/consent document must be supplied in full, explained where needed and accepted by the appropriate person. These Terms do not authorise an accompanying adult to waive rights they cannot lawfully waive.
Consent is required for every visitor during booking. Marketing consent is optional. Do not upload identity documents.
Photography, recordings and personal belongings
Follow staff guidance on photography and avoid flash or intrusive equipment that disturbs cats. Obtain permission before deliberately photographing or recording other visitors or staff, and arrange commercial shoots separately. Respect restrictions reasonably required for welfare, privacy or safety.
Entering the venue does not give Going Home unrestricted permission to use your likeness for advertising. Our own promotional photography requires the separate permission described in the Privacy Policy. Any CCTV arrangements require their own confirmed notice.
Look after your belongings and avoid leaving items where cats can reach them. We are not an insurer of valuables, but this statement does not exclude liability where the law makes us responsible. Report lost items promptly so the team can assist.
Learning journeys, workshops and private arrangements
School, group, workshop and private arrangements begin with an enquiry, not a guaranteed public-calendar purchase. Programme, numbers, ages, supervision, access needs, date, fees, payment schedule and cancellation arrangements must be agreed in writing before the booking becomes binding.
An organiser must provide an appropriate supervising team and obtain the necessary participant/parent authority, but must not send excessive personal data in an initial enquiry. A quoted group size does not override physical capacity, welfare rules or rest periods.
Any specific programme terms take precedence over inconsistent general commercial provisions only where clearly disclosed and agreed beforehand. They do not remove mandatory legal rights or replace the Privacy Policy. A learning activity is not a guarantee of an individual educational, therapeutic or adoption outcome.
Adoption enquiries and visitor recognition
An admission fee or enquiry does not reserve a cat for adoption or guarantee an adoption outcome. Adoption involves separate suitability checks, approvals and documentation with the relevant rescue partner. Any adoption fee, home-visit arrangement or conditions must be separately explained and agreed; they are not created by these Terms.
Repeat-visit descriptions or staff relationship-stage labels do not create a paid membership, guaranteed discount, transferable points balance or priority admission. Any actual promotion or benefit must state its eligibility and conditions separately.
We will not describe visit fees as tax-deductible donations or promise a donation receipt unless a separately verified lawful arrangement expressly applies.
Website use and intellectual property
Use the website for genuine enquiries and reservations. Do not submit false payment claims, attempt unauthorised access, misuse another person’s booking link, interfere with the service or upload unlawful or malicious material. We may take proportionate protective action and report suspected unlawful conduct where appropriate.
Going Home’s branding, photographs, illustrations and written materials belong to their respective rights-holders. Personal viewing and sharing links do not grant a right to reproduce protected material commercially, impersonate us or republish identifiable visitor content.
You retain any rights you hold in material sent with an enquiry. We may handle it to respond and administer the matter described, subject to the Privacy Policy. This does not grant us a perpetual advertising licence over your photographs or messages.
Website availability cannot be guaranteed at every moment. An outage or display error does not erase an otherwise valid reservation or our responsibilities; contact us with your booking reference if you need help.
Responsibility and limits permitted by law
We remain responsible for obligations the law places on us. Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted. No provision waives your PDPA rights or mandatory consumer remedies.
You remain responsible, to the extent provided by law, for loss directly caused by your own intentional wrongdoing or negligence. We will not demand a blanket indemnity for all incidents or make you responsible for our own fault. Any claim for damage must be supported and proportionate, with appropriate allowance for the causes and parties involved.
We do not impose an arbitrary admission-fee liability cap. Any proposed financial limitation requires specific Singapore legal review for reasonableness and enforceability. An acknowledgement that animals present risks is not an agreement to excuse negligent care.
If a clause cannot lawfully operate, it applies only to the extent permitted or is severed where possible without removing other valid provisions.
Complaints, disputes and applicable law
Contact contact@goinghome.sg with your booking reference, a concise account of the issue and the outcome you seek. Staff will acknowledge and investigate the concern and explain the next steps within 5 working days.
We encourage a practical resolution, but you are not required to abandon statutory rights, accept compulsory private arbitration or complete an indefinite internal process before seeking assistance. You may approach CASE, the PDPC for personal-data matters, or an appropriate tribunal/court where it has jurisdiction.
Singapore law governs these Terms, subject to any applicable mandatory protections. The Singapore courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction; eligible statutory tribunal and regulatory routes remain available. Seeking urgent legal relief is not prohibited by a request to contact us first.
Changes and final approval
The approved version shown and accepted for your booking should govern that booking, subject to a lawful, properly agreed variation. We will not retrospectively introduce a price increase, new cancellation penalty or expanded liability waiver by changing this website.
We may update general information and future booking terms with a new version/effective date. Necessary safety directions may change to address a genuine situation, but they do not silently rewrite financial rights or permit undisclosed data uses.
