Hogo Neko House Nyan Colony
Kitakami, Iwate
Hogo Neko House Nyan Colony is a small adoption-focused rescue cat house in the Kunenbashi district of Kitakami. Its rescued cats are waiting for new families, and the house welcomes people thinking of adopting, people who cannot keep a cat but want to spend time with one, and those who want to support rescue work. There are two cat rooms. Room fees and sales of cat goods, after running costs, go to the cats' food, litter and veterinary bills. The house opens on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday afternoons; on Mondays and Tuesdays other than public holidays, visits must be booked by the day before, by phone, LINE or social media message. Payment is cash only, and visitors are asked to follow house rules such as wearing socks. The parking area is a short walk away. The owners also offer cat sitting.
