Pet Animal World (PAW) is an indoor animal contact facility at Nagasaki Bio Park, the zoo and botanical park in Seihi, Saikai. Its cat room is furnished like a living room where visitors can sit and spend time with resident cats, including Russian Blues and Ragamuffins. The same building has a dog room with Border Collies and a garden, and a central tree area shared by cockatoos, an eagle owl, rabbits and guinea pigs, along with chinchillas and marmosets. PAW can be visited on its own or with a set ticket that includes Bio Park admission and one hour in PAW; extra time is charged by the hour and children under three enter free. The cats take two half-hour breaks in the early afternoon and can be visited until 4 PM, which is also last entry to PAW. Opening hours can be shortened at busy times such as Golden Week.
