保護猫カフェ neu。 is a shelter cat and vegan cafe tucked into a quiet alley in Osaka's Chuo Ward, within easy walking distance of Tanimachi 6-chome and Matsuyamachi stations. Home to more than twenty rescue cats with distinct personalities, the cafe is designed as a calm, cozy space where guests can settle in and spend unhurried time with the cats rather than a busy play area. Staff are happy to share each cat's temperament and habits, making it a comfortable first visit for newcomers to cat cafes, and many guests return regularly to watch relationships develop over time. All food is fully vegan, including a lunch menu served daily and a rotating selection of cafe drinks, sweets, and notable coffee. Every resident cat is available for adoption, and community adoption events are held throughout the year.

Weekday visits have no time limit, though a two-hour limit applies when busy, and weekend and holiday visits are 90 minutes. Preschool children pay a reduced rate and babies under one enter free.
