Have you ever ventured into the bustling, high-tech community of Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig?
If so, you might have come across some unexpected, furry inhabitants that make this Instagram-worthy community even more charming – the delightful stray cats.
My personal journey- in the form of YouTube videos- into the world of BGC’s feline residents has been an enchanting adventure, filled with joy and fulfillment.
1. Feline Territories in the Heart of BGC
As you explore the vast 240-hectare mixed-use estate that is BGC, you’ll quickly realize that the stray cats have claimed their own territories within this sprawling urban oasis. From the bustling Market Market area to the trendy Bonifacio High Street, the serene 31st Street, the athletic Track 30th, the sporty Nike Fort area, the picturesque Triangle Drive area, and countless other hidden corners, these cats have made BGC their home.
2. The Market Market Feline Welcome Committee
Among these feline residents, the Market Market area stands out as the friendliest. The cats and kittens here are not only welcoming but also camera-ready. They’ll eagerly pose for photos with visitors, making your feline encounters truly memorable.
3. The Not-So-Cat-Friendly SM Aura Area
On the flip side, the SM Aura area tells a different story. It’s no secret that SM isn’t a fan of cats. For those familiar with Taguig and neighboring Makati communities, you’ve likely heard about SM Grace Residences’ attempts to euthanize dozens of stray cats. The condo administration strictly forbids tenants and residents from adopting cats and dogs, creating a less-than-welcoming environment for our feline friends.

4. A Gourmet Treat for Stray Cats
During my adventures, I discovered that stray cats truly appreciate a special treat – wet cat food or canned goodies. Most of them are accustomed to the dry cat food provided by well-meaning groups and cat lovers who regularly feed BGC’s feline residents.
5. Becoming a Feline Friend
Meeting and feeding these remarkable residents of BGC has been an absolute delight. I wholeheartedly recommend this endeavor to anyone looking to add some purpose and joy to their weekends or free time. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, bonding with these adorable creatures will warm your heart and make your day brighter.
My journey into the world of BGC’s stray cats has been an eye-opening experience. These furry inhabitants add a unique charm to the city, and their stories are a testament to resilience and survival in the urban jungle.
So, the next time you find yourself in BGC with some spare time, why not make a visit to these adorable feline residents? You might just find that the simple act of kindness can bring immeasurable joy and fulfillment to your life, all while making a positive impact on these precious creatures.
