Higana Neko & Petit Petit Neko Neko
Kami, Kochi
Higana Neko is an adoption-type rescue cat cafe in an old-style house in Kahoku, Kami, near the Anpanman Museum. The building is split between a cat room, Higana Neko, where rescued cats wait for new families, and a cafe space, Petit Petit Neko Neko, where visitors can sit with a drink without entering the cat room. The cats have a relaxed, independent manner, napping and playing as they please, and several have gone on to adoption trials. The cafe sells snacks made without eggs, dairy or white sugar, scones and cookies, drinks and takeout, along with local fruit, and there are discounts for children and free parking. It is closed on Wednesdays and on the first and third Tuesdays of the month, with occasional extra closures.
