Located in Sapporo's Kiyota Ward residential area, ANELLA CAFE Sapporo Kiyota opened in October 2025 as a rescue adoption facility serving Hokkaido's urban core. Just a 1-minute walk from the Hokota bus stop on the Central Bus Hiraoka New Town line, the location provides convenient accessibility for Sapporo residents seeking animal interaction. The facility combines dog and cat interaction with grooming services and employment support programming, reflecting ANELLA's commitment to integrated community welfare. Operating with official animal handling certifications, the cafe welcomes both longtime animal lovers and those unable to keep pets at home, providing meaningful contact with rescue animals.
The rescue cats at ANELLA CAFE Sapporo Kiyota are notable for their consistent affection and approachability, with visitors immediately drawn to their warm temperament upon entering. All cats display genuine fondness for human interaction, making them memorable to visitors seeking healing and stress relief through animal contact. The facility uses a standard time-based pricing system where visitors enter, spend their desired duration, and pay based on time elapsed—creating flexibility for both brief visits and extended bonding sessions. The space is thoughtfully divided with dogs in the front area and cats in the back room, allowing visitors to experience both species within a single visit. While still in early development as an employment support facility, the cafe demonstrates genuine commitment to rescue animal care. One visitor with a young child (19 months) reported minimal issues, highlighting the calm environment and staff's accommodating nature.
