Moggy is a rescue cat cafe in the Kiyosu district of Kiyosu, the old castle town north-west of Nagoya, due to open on November 1, 2026. It is run together with Days Works, a type-B continuous employment support service, so the cafe is also a workplace for people with disabilities. The resident cats are rescued cats, and they moved into the cafe ahead of the opening while staff prepared the rooms and put up the sign. Opening hours, visit charges and booking rules are due to be announced on the cafe's Instagram account. The operator also posts videos of the cats and of the cafe's preparations on its YouTube channel.
