“Cat Day” Connecting cats in disaster-stricken areas to new families. In Tokyo, efforts have begun to adopt cats that can no longer be kept in areas affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake.

February 22nd is "Cat Day", a play on numbers. In response to this, Ishikawa Prefecture has secured approximately 340 places within and outside the prefecture where dogs and cats can be temporarily kept. It is important to set rules for keeping pets according to the situation, such as limiting the times pets can be active and creating living areas only for companions.
