Neko no Heya
Usa, Oita9 mi / 14 km
Neko no Heya is a rescue cat cafe in Yamashita, Usa, run by the volunteer rescue group Dog Home Anchan 2271 alongside its bakery Pan no Oto. It opens on Sundays, around three times a month, from late morning to mid-afternoon, and doubles as an adoption meeting: the cats were rescued locally and are all waiting for new homes. Visitors are welcome whether or not they plan to adopt, and can play with and stroke the cats. Entry is charged per hour and includes a drink, with half price for children of junior high school age and younger, and a support membership gives a discounted pass. Booking by phone is recommended, as the room holds a limited number of people. Adoption involves a home trial and a contribution to vaccination and neutering costs, and bakery sales help fund the group's rescue and TNR work.
