February 22nd is called "Cat Day" by the puns of "Nyan, Nyan, Nyan", but a "Cat Cafe" was opened in Saga City for the purpose of transferring cats protected by the public health center.
The facility, which opened on the 22nd in Hyogominami, Saga City, was opened by a company in Takeo City, which is engaged in the transfer of "protected cats" as a social contribution activity.
The "Cat Cafe" is located next to the car leasing business office, and there are 24 cats picked up from health centers in the prefecture.
Café users can interact with their favorite cats over a cup of tea or coffee, and those who wish to pick up their favorite cats can leave their favorite cats at home for two weeks and take them over if there is no problem.
Last year, 657 dogs and cats were temporarily protected at a health center in Saga Prefecture, but 370 of them were slaughtered without being transferred.
The company wants to reduce culling by spending part of the proceeds of car leasing and "cat cafes" on cat breeding costs, illness treatment costs, and donations to volunteer groups working to protect cats. It is said.
The visitor said, "I was looking forward to this day. If there is a cat I like, I would like to pick it up."
Hideki Koga, the manager of "Flat Plus Myao", said, "By setting up a car leasing base and a cat cafe, we want to get more customers to see it and transfer as many cats as possible." It was.
