SAVE THE CAT HIDA Shelter Neco Republic Hida
Hida, Gifu
SAVE THE CAT HIDA is a Neco Republic rescue shelter in central Hida-Furukawa, close to Hida City Hall. Set up with the help of Hida's hometown tax donations, it takes in cats from the Hida region, with a hospice section for elderly and sick cats, and rehomes them. Cats that have finished quarantine live in an open free space with plenty of catwalks and steps, and visitors can go in and interact with them for a small donation per person on entry. Most of the cats are adults and the atmosphere is calm. An attached shop sells Hida souvenirs in cat packaging, such as ramen, coffee and rice crackers, with profits going to the cats. The shelter also runs Nekokura no Yado, a guest house on the same site where guests can visit the cats. It opens every afternoon, with irregular days off.
