As a vegan and a cat-lover I could never pay to go in one of the cat cafes in Japan (or any other animal-themed cafe for that matter), because I know that those places breed and exploit animals for profit. I was instead very happy to visit this place which is a shelter for stray cats that allows people to hang with the cats and also to eat some vegan food.
Not all cats are sociable and you’re warned about it priorly, but most of them were curious and some even cuddly. It was so nice spending some time with them and I was happy to pay a small fee to do so knowing that it would go to support them. You can really tell that the girls who work there really care for these cats.
We also decided to eat there and I got the set menu with the sweet sauce soy-meat. It was a very well balanced meal and also pretty tasty.
They also have a small shop were they sell cute merch with cats and of course I couldn’t help but buy something 🐱
The price for the menu was 1,700 ¥. To hang with the cats you need to pay a fee of around 1,000 ¥ but you would also get a discount for the meal.
