Shin Neko no Mori House

Shin Neko no Mori House is the shelter of the NPO Neko no Mori in Yakuendai, Funabashi, about 15 minutes on foot from Keisei Narashino Station, with buses from Kita-Narashino and JR Tsudanuma stopping nearby. The group moved here from Narashinodai and opened the purpose-built facility to the public in spring 2025 after a crowdfunding campaign. Around 80 cats live in the house, many of them elderly or receiving medical care, with a similar number in foster homes. Visits are by advance online booking in one-hour sessions for small groups, on Tuesdays, Fridays, weekends and holidays, and the per-person fee includes one drink. Cats are rehomed through the group's application and meeting process, and it also holds regular adoption events at pet stores in Funabashi, Yachiyo and Makuhari. A parking area is available near the house.
