Located in Soka, Saitama, ANELLA CAFE Yatsuka operates as an intimate rescue cat adoption center dedicated to transforming visitor perspectives on animal welfare and rescue adoption. Just a 2-minute walk from Yatsuka Station on the Tobu Skytree Line, this newly established location (opened February 2025) has already captured the hearts of the local community through its mission-driven approach and exceptional animal care. The facility prioritizes rescue cats awaiting loving homes while supporting employment initiatives through integrated vocational programs. Staff members are dedicated to demonstrating that rescue animals are not damaged goods but rather loving, well-adjusted companions deserving of second chances and permanent families.
The rescue cats at ANELLA CAFE Yatsuka are remarkable for their affection and sociability, with visitors consistently highlighting their willingness to be held and petted without resistance. One reviewer who initially held skepticism about cat cafes experienced a complete change of perspective after visiting, describing the experience as transformative. Families return repeatedly—some visiting 2–3 times monthly—drawn by the consistent warmth and approachability of the animals. Visitors noted the visible health and vitality of the cats, with glossy coats improving with each visit, demonstrating the quality of daily care and nutrition provided by staff. Multiple reviewers specifically praised staff gentleness and the welcoming, stress-free atmosphere that puts both animals and guests at ease. The facility offers handmade accessories and products, with reviewers requesting more items be made available. A specific resident, "Cake," a female Munchkin, has captured visitor hearts and inspired repeat visits. The atmosphere is refreshingly free of typical unpleasant animal odors, reflecting meticulous hygiene standards. Though the location primarily focuses on cats, the inclusive, pressure-free environment welcomes anyone seeking genuine animal interaction over commercialized entertainment.
ANELLA CAFE Yatsuka welcomes visitors from 12:00–18:00 on weekdays and 11:00–18:00 on weekends, with no closure days throughout the year. Entry fees are ¥800 for 30 minutes (general admission), with ¥400 for each additional 15-minute extension. Children and seniors receive reduced pricing at ¥400 for 30 minutes. The facility accepts all major payment methods: credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, JCB, AMEX, Diners), IC transit cards (Suica, etc.), and QR code systems (PayPay). Unlimited beverages are included with your visit, along with access to treat dispensers for interacting with the cats. Handmade gifts and accessories crafted by the employment support program are available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the cafe's mission. The facility operates with a non-commercial philosophy—focused on animal wellbeing and genuine adoption outcomes rather than maximizing profit. Located in Soka's Katoh Building on the ground floor, the space is easily accessible and inviting. Nearby coin parking is available for visitors. The warm, care-focused environment makes it an ideal destination for stress relief, family outings, or anyone considering rescue cat adoption.
