森のねこ舎 (Mori no Nekoya)

Mori no Nekoya is a welcoming rescue cat cafe located in the Higashiyodogawa Ward of Osaka, Japan, just a five-minute walk from Hankyu Awaji Station through the local shopping street. The cafe offers a cozy, casual, and quiet atmosphere where visitors can relax in the company of around twenty rescue cats. Every cat in the lounge is available for adoption, and the team works closely with individual rescuers who entrust cats from difficult circumstances, including former strays and multi-cat household situations. Staff guide guests through introductions, trial stays, and post-adoption support for anyone considering welcoming a cat into their home. Refreshments include coffee served alongside time spent with the cats, and the cafe also matches its inexpensive, approachable feel with a genuine mission of finding forever families. Sock-wearing is required for entry to keep the cats comfortable.
