Among the tens of thousands of cats, there are cats that have been deemed inappropriate for adoption (e.g., those with illnesses or infections that have no hope of being cured), and pet cats that have died due to force majeure after being adopted. In addition, there are cats that can be kept at home as companion animals, but are euthanized. In other words, if the family was found, the victim’s life would have been saved instead of being killed. One solution to this problem is to choose to adopt a rescue cat as a family member. We at NekoRepublic work with local cat rescue organizations to While searching for foster parents for rescued cats, we aim to offer a fashionable and wonderful lifestyle with cats and become a “self-sustaining” business. We operate 11 new-style “self-propelled rescue cat cafes” nationwide and 4 non-profit cat shelters that serve as a hospice for cats in need of treatment. Image

Early detection! Early response! Solved immediately! Project Neko Republic has been protecting cats for 10 years and has found “forever families” for many cats. We also operate shelters and hospice facilities, looking after cats with disabilities and illnesses, and seeing them off. However, even in Gifu City, many cats are still being brought to health centers. In 2022, ■Number of cats whose ownership is relinquished: 59 adult cats, 35 kittens, 94 in total ■Unknown owners adopted: 43 adult cats, 188 kittens, 231 cats in total

Sadly, 65 of the cats were euthanized. During this period, Neko Republic removed 105 cats from the Gifu City Health Center, but we have not yet been able to reduce the number of cats killed to zero. I believe that in order to fundamentally solve the culling problem, we must reduce the number of cats brought to health centers.

Early Detection! Early Response! Immediate Resolve! Project” using hometown tax donations. We will start with funding. Click here for the crowdfunding page ●Project details

In situations where the number of stray cats has increased due to feeding, even if it is known that TNR is necessary, there are many cases where it is difficult for the person involved to trap the cats alone and the number of cats increases. Dedicated personnel with professional knowledge and skills will quickly carry out TNR on site.

Prevent the number of cats from increasing further. We protect children who need protection and connect them to new families.
