Nyankuru Naisa
Nyankuru Naisa is a rescue cat adoption facility in Kanzaki, run by the local welfare company Mirai Care Group. It opened in January 2026 and doubles as a workplace where people with disabilities, and others looking for a way back into work, help care for the cats. The name plays on the Okinawan phrase for "it will work out". Around ten rescued cats live in the room, and up to seven visitors can come in per hour. Entry is free, and visitors are asked for a voluntary contribution per hour towards food and medical care, with reduced amounts for visitors with disabilities. Visitors sign a waiver before going in, and children must stay with their parents and keep quiet. Adoption involves at least three visits, an application, a review and a trial period. The facility opens on weekdays only, with last entry at 4:30 PM.

Tosu, Saga10 mi / 15 km

The cafe has a separate dining room and cat room, so guests can come just for a meal, just for the cats or for both, and some tables look into the cat room. Around ten cats live there, including British Shorthairs and mixed breeds. Cat room visits are charged per 30 or 60 minutes with a drink included, and children up to junior high school age need an adult with them.

Crepe to Neko no Ie
Kurume, Fukuoka10 mi / 16 km
Crepe to Neko no Ie is a crepe shop in Kamitsu, Kurume, whose owner runs a private cat rescue from the same building. The upper floor is a cat room where rescued cats live while they wait for new homes, and it serves as a permanent adoption venue where people can watch the cats' everyday behaviour before applying. Volunteer staff look after the cats and can explain each one's personality and history. The shop says it is not a cat cafe, so there is no entry or time charge and the rescue work is funded by donations, though visits are limited to one hour, or 30 minutes for families with children, and prospective adopters get priority. Visits and adoption appointments are booked by phone, and adoption terms are discussed in person. Socks are required, and strong perfume is not allowed. The cat room is open every day in the afternoon.
