Cat’s Home MIKE” in Uruma City, Okinawa, rents an old house and operates a cat shelter to eliminate the killing of cats. At the same time, it also operates a cat café, creating a place where people can relax while interacting with shelter cats.
Point 1: MIKE is a shelter cat cafe that saves cats!
All the cats at MIKE are shelter cats. As mentioned at the beginning of this article, MIKE is not just a cat café, but also a cat shelter.
A cat shelter is a facility where shelter cats are protected and cared for until the next foster parent takes them in!
There are still many abandoned cats and stray cats in Japan that have no owners, and the owners started this activity to help these cats.
Therefore, at MIKE, you can not only meet and play with cats, but you can also adopt a cat you like! Of course, you will have to check with the owner, but maybe you can take home a kitty that you like!
Point 2: Nearly 50 cats are living in the house!
In a typical cat café, there are usually 10 to 20 cats, but MIKI has nearly 50 cats, although the number varies depending on the time of year!
Some are very friendly, some are a bit snooty, some come up to people who give them food, and some just watch you from afar. One of the charms of this place is that you can meet cats of various personalities!
As mentioned above, it might be fun to meet the cat you like while fantasizing about going home and living with it.
Point 3: “Cat’s Home MIKE” also operates a pet hotel and a pet cab!
MIKE operates not only a cat café but also a pet hotel (cats only), pet sitter (cats only), and pet cab (cats and small dogs)!
It seems to be operated as a cat-related community, not only for those who love cats but also for those who live with cats themselves and want to ask for advice on small matters.
If you have a cat-related lifestyle, you can make friends with your cat, consult with your cat when you have a problem, or ask for hotel care when you go on a trip, etc!
