About proper care

"Keeping an animal" requires not only love, but also money and time. Unlike stuffed animals or toys, animals are living creatures with the same lives as humans, living bravely. If everyone is careful, we can reduce the number of cats that are euthanized and end up on the street.

Furthermore, it will also reduce damage to Amami rabbits and other animals. Please be a kind owner who listens to what your cat wants.

Additionally, there are regulations that must be observed when keeping cats on Amami Oshima. *For more information, click here

All five municipalities on Amami Oshima - Amami City, Tatsugo Town, Uken Village, Yamato Village, and Setouchi Town - have enacted similar "Ordinances on the Proper Care and Management of Pet Cats." The Amami Cat Club is also working to promote proper care in accordance with these ordinances.
