Hogo Neko Room Boron
Kitajima, Tokushima
Hogo Neko Room Boron is an adoption-focused rescue cat room in Tainohama, Kitajima, run by volunteers registered with the Tokushima Prefectural Animal Welfare Center. The volunteers take in cats and kittens from the center, many of them bottle-fed as newborns, care for them and match them with adoptive families. Visitors can come in to meet and play with a large group of cats, and the entry charge counts as a donation toward the cats' food and medical costs, so people who cannot adopt are also welcome. Reception is on the ground floor, with a small shop selling cat toys and goods, and the cat room is behind double doors. The room opens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and on other days visits are possible by reservation when volunteers are available. It moved to its current building, next to Chuka Soba Tamura, in December 2024.
