Oizumigakuen Animal Hospital Rescue Cat Salon
The Rescue Cat Salon at Oizumigakuen Animal Hospital is an adoption room inside a veterinary clinic in Higashioizumi, Nerima, near Oizumi-gakuen Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. Working with partner rescue groups, the hospital houses rescued cats, mostly kittens, in a dedicated space designed like a cat cafe, where they can be watched through the window from the street or visited inside. Entry is free and no reservation is needed during set visiting periods in the morning and late afternoon; visitors change into indoor shoes, disinfect their hands and keep children supervised. The salon is aimed at people considering adoption: applicants fill in a form that goes to the rescue group for screening, followed by a trial of about two weeks and a formal contract. Conditions include pet-permitted housing, escape-proof fencing, indoor-only keeping and monthly updates. Hours are shorter on Mondays, when the clinic is closed.
