Operating as Utsunomiya's rare Siberian specialist café, Therapy Cafe PoPo originated from owner-breeder's personal cat allergy and subsequent discovery of hypoallergenic Siberian genetics. All-private-room design (five individual spaces) ensures personalized experience with dedicated cat groups: mama room (affectionate females), playful room (interactive young males), parent cats room, aesthetic females room (odd-eyed/dichroic specials), and spacious room (plump males). Featured on BS Asahi television. Migrated locations; currently consolidated at Kitawakamatsuhara. Breeder-owned operation allows adoption consultations for attached cattery. Membership program (3,500+ members); Wednesday points double. Wheelchair accessible with assistant support.
Siberian residents feature distinctive personalities per room: toy-loving, affectionate, playful, aesthetic or laid-back temperaments. Notable cats include Peanut (fluffiest), Daifuku (playful), foundation pair, Cloron (shy but warming), Lupin/Goemon (devoted followers), egg/Totoro/Shizuku/Hane (female group). Reviews emphasized genuine owner love reflected in cat behavior. Visitors with cat allergies reported zero symptoms despite concerns; one noted surprising lack of fur shedding on clothes despite "fluffy everywhere" environment. Staff described as attentive, patient with children, offering room tours throughout sessions. One visitor appreciated breeder's selective breeding producing calm, therapeutic temperaments.
