Happy-Wildcats
Hasuda, Saitama
Happy-Wildcats is a certified NPO rescue shelter in Tsubakiyama, Hasuda, that cares for abandoned and ownerless cats and finds them new homes. Its former daily rescue cat cafe closed in January 2023, and the group now holds a reservation-only meet-and-greet in a furnished lounge one minute's walk from the shelter, where visitors can relax with the cats whether or not they plan to adopt. Sessions run on the afternoons of the second and fourth Sundays of each month, except over New Year, and the room does not open on days without bookings, which are taken by phone or through the website. Visitors show ID and are asked for an optional donation, socks are required, and young children must come with a guardian. Adoption viewings are also held by appointment on the second and fourth Thursday mornings.
