About Nekono March
Operating in Sagamihara, Kanagawa as a Type B employment support facility integrated with rescue cat salon operations, Nekono March addresses dual social needs: supporting disabled workers through meaningful employment alongside genuine rescue cat socialization and adoption facilitation. The facility philosophy emphasizes "cats and people supporting each other" through shared care activities enabling human healing while providing felines essential socialization toward family placement. The operation symbolizes "music pauses in neighborhood rest" where rescue cats gradually acclimate to human interaction within supportive employment framework.
The rotating rescue cat population demonstrates diverse personalities and socialization levels reflecting rescue backgrounds. Reviewers consistently praised "adorable cats with wonderful charm," noting "affectionate cats readily accepting interaction" alongside "shy cats requiring patience." Multiple visitors highlighted staff's gentle approach teaching first-time visitors and children proper interaction techniques, with one family describing their children's successful first-time cat experiences. Reviewers emphasized the facility's "healing atmosphere" and commitment to rescue cat welfare, with one noting the "engaging toy interaction" and "merchandise sales" providing visitor enjoyment alongside adoption support.
