Named "Nha Con Meo" (Vietnamese for "cat house"), this rescue adoption café in Yame, Fukuoka (relocated from Kurume December 2023) focuses on ex-stray and multi-cat rescue situation cats. The philosophy emphasizes "people and cats both happy" through adoption matching and cat welfare. Spacious interior contrasts with modest exterior. Experienced, friendly staff provide adoption guidance and ongoing support to adopters. Regular cat merchandise sales (cat-themed socks, accessories) and charity activities support rescue operations. Stamp card loyalty program available.
The rescue cat population displays remarkably affectionate personalities despite difficult backgrounds. Reviewers consistently noted cats immediately swarm on laps and provide enthusiastic engagement with toys and treats. Multiple visitors emphasized staff expertise and kindness, describing willingness to advise on cat care, health, and diet alongside casual conversation. Staff handle rescue cats with visible passion and knowledge. Visitors noted cats range from already-socialized to gradual-warming personalities; treats (¥100) significantly increase interaction likelihood. Kittens sometimes available for bottle-feeding experience. Pets from outside rescue network receive permanent care.
