Neko Cafe Jewelry
Kashima, Ibaraki
Neko Cafe Jewelry is a cat cafe in a detached annex of the owner's home in Takei, Kashima, with a pleasant garden and its own parking. Around twenty cats live there, and unusually for a cat cafe, visitors may pick the cats up as long as they are gentle. The owner is also a breeder, and Minuet, Scottish Fold and Munchkin kittens are sold. In April 2024 she set up a separate non-profit that rescues stray and abandoned cats, and rescued cats are shown for adoption at the cafe. Visits are charged by time with a canned drink included, cat treats are sold, and visitors disinfect their hands and feet and wear socks before entering. Children of all ages are welcome. Phoning ahead is recommended. The cafe is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and on some other days.
