保護猫と戯れられてとても癒されます。子猫が8匹もいて、相手をするのが大変でしたが、終始笑顔でいられます(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

猫密度高め！行った時は23匹の猫たちに会えました。子猫たちも大人たちも人懐こくすごく猫じゃらしで遊びます。ソフトドリンク飲み放題でこれだけ遊べたら破格。

２階建てのバスを改装した猫カフェです。１階が受付、利用料金説明があり、３０分、１時間単位での基本料金、猫用おやつチュール１本¥100、ドリンクを持って２階に案内されます。　保護猫が２０匹ほど放し飼いでいます。　比較的若い猫がチュール欲しさに駆け寄って来ました。　保護猫の中でリボンを付けている猫はスタッフと呼んでいるマスターの飼い猫で、それ以外は里親募集との事。　自由に猫と触れ合い遊べる場所です。　事前に予約してから行った方が良いです。

We went there right after they had opened on a weekend day. I was searching for anything to do near our accommodation and stumbled upon this lovely cat cafe. I love cats, but rarely like to visit any cat cafes, because most of them are just for the money and the cats seem stressed or anxious. This place however felt warm and they truly take care of the cats. Some of the older cats seemed a bit annoyed, just sleeping in their nests, but it's probably because of the kittens running around. The cats seemed otherwise healthy and the young ones were full of energy! The owner speaks English and as foreigners we felt very welcomed in this cafe. They serve basic cold and hot drinks there, but I didn't go there for the servings I hope the cats will get a nice homes

This is truly the best cat cafe I have ever experienced, and I’ve been to many, even ones in Korea and Singapore The owners are extremely nice, foreigner friendly, and was very understanding of my broken Japanese The cats, they’re so playful, and a few even took a nap on my lap and hugged my arm. Peko (ぺコ) was my favourite kitty, he really wanted me to hug him and pet him, and whenever I stopped, he would audibly complain. Really cute. If I ever do return to Nagoya, this place would be my first stop.
