Nishio, Aichi · 5.2 mi / 8.4 km

Soramachi Cafe and Rescue Cat Cafe Nekomachi is a rescue cat cafe in a 90-year-old house in Heisakacho, Nishio, on the corner of a five-way junction; the Heisaka Nishiguchi bus stop is right outside, and there is parking for 8 or 9 cars. The building also houses a small cafe serving fair-trade organic coffee, tea, cocoa and Nishio matcha. All of the cats, usually around ten plus a kitten room, are rescues up for adoption, and adoptions include a trial period. Entry is by a per-person donation into the box in the cat room, with no time limit, though guests are asked to share the space when it is busy; ordering a drink is optional. The cafe has taken in hundreds of cats since it opened. It is open from 10 AM to 6 PM and closed on Thursdays unless they fall on a public holiday.

Mihama, Aichi · 7 mi / 12 km

Cat Cafe Nago Nago is one of the oldest cat cafes in the Tokai region, first opened in Nagoya in September 2006 and run for about ten years in an old house in Nagakute before moving in October 2026 to Noma in Mihama, on the western coast of the Chita Peninsula. The resident cats moved with the cafe, and many of them are long-time residents around ten years old that are friendly with visitors. Over the years the cafe has also found homes for around a hundred kittens through its adoption appeals. In past locations the cat room was kept separate from a cafe space where drinks could be ordered without entering, and the cafe streams a live camera of the cat room on YouTube. During the October 2026 pre-opening it opens on irregular days, mostly weekends, in the afternoon and evening, with the schedule posted on X.

Anjo, Aichi · 10 mi / 16 km

Shiawase no Kagishippo is a volunteer-run rescue cat shelter in Akamatsucho, Anjo, set inside a car care shop. It is an adoption space where anyone can drop in to play with cats looking for homes, from friendly adults to shy cats still learning to trust people, and every cat is available for adoption subject to the shelter's conditions. The shelter takes in more than a hundred cats a year. Entry works on a donation basis with a suggested minimum for adults and a smaller amount for children, and there is no time limit. The cat room is compact, holding around ten cats and ten visitors at a time, so it feels more like visiting a friend's home than a commercial cafe. Young children are welcome with a guardian. Handmade cat goods are sold to fund the shelter. It is closed on Wednesdays.
