ANELLA CAFE Opens Its Newest Location in Shizuoka
On February 1, 2026, ANELLA Group proudly opened its latest location, ANELLA CAFE in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. As part of the Group's mission to provide a safe and warm space for rescued dogs and cats, this café seeks to integrate the experience of meeting these animals into daily life for local residents.
A Welcoming Environment for All
The ANELLA CAFE concept extends beyond just being a typical "cat café" or "dog café". This establishment aims to provide not only a respite for abandoned pets but also a nurturing environment where they can meet potential new families. Located just a 2-minute walk from Gakunan Harada Station along the Gakunan Railway Line, this café is ideally placed to attract a diverse range of visitors.
Nestled in a residential neighborhood, ANELLA CAFE invites individuals to pop in between errands or on their way home from work, allowing guests to unwind and connect with the rescued dogs and cats in a casual yet meaningful setting.
Connecting Pets with People
At ANELLA CAFE, the philosophy centers around creating a space where rescued animals, customers, and staff can build meaningful relationships. Each visit offers a unique opportunity to learn about the importance of rescue operations while contributing to the sustainability of such initiatives. The cafe operates on a model where entry fees directly support the care and rehabilitation of these animals. Over the years, ANELLA CAFE has successfully facilitated the adoption of approximately 3,000 rescued pets.
Regular events, including meet-ups with adopted pets and their new families, further enrich the community experience, fostering ongoing connections that support both the animals and the café's patrons.
A Commitment to Social Responsibility
Beyond providing companionship, ANELLA CAFE is also established as a work training facility for individuals with disabilities. This initiative enables these individuals to engage in various tasks, such as caring for the pets and assisting customers. Such interactions are not only healing for the animals but also promote social inclusion and the development of skills among participants. Through these efforts, ANELLA CAFE aims to create a society where both humans and animals can thrive together.
A Vision for the Future
Dai Mitsuhiro, the CEO of ANELLA Group, emphasizes that the mission of ANELLA CAFE is to "Change one life forever." Each interaction holds the potential to transform the lives of the animals and their new families, underlining the poignant impact of the café within the local community. The new location in Fuji City is designed to seamlessly blend into daily routines while providing a haven for rescued animals.
