Melissa & Stephen :: Osaka, Japan

Melissa and Stephen had to say sayanora to Japan, after living here for one year and working for ECC. They wanted to have a more formal documentation of their time here so we set out in Tennoji and Namba for some memorable backdrops...
They are so KAWAII!!! (cute:)

Japan Cat Network!

I recently had the pleasure of volunteering at the Japan Cat Network near Hikone, about an hour north of Osaka. This is a one-of-a kind shelter, run by two Americans wanting to make a difference in the lives of Japan's street cats. Not only do they shelter about 50 cats and kittens, they run a Trap Neuter and Release program (TNR) that is helping to insure the safety of Japan's homeless kitties and lessen the strain on local communities. Many people contact them if they find abandoned kittens and Japan Cat Network works at getting these kitties healthy and then adopted.
I took lots of photos of these cuties with the hopes that in seeing these pictures, people will want to adopt or foster these kitties. If you can't do either, perhaps you could donate or volunteer your time giving these cats love!
Please contact Japan Cat Network with any questions!
