Kashiwamochi is sweet and shy and looking for a new home
Kashiwamochi seems to be quite a timid girl but she is inquisitive and photogenic — and there's a beautiful soul in her.
Kashiwamochi, a Japanese sweet-natured cat, was recently surrendered to ARK, an animal rescue organization, alongside several other felines. The original owner fell ill and was hospitalized, leading to Kashiwamochi's placement in the shelter. Despite her reserved demeanor, this shy yet curious cat possesses a gentle soul that yearns to form bonds with humans. ARK envisions Kashiwamochi eventually overcoming her fear and reciprocating the affection she receives.
Born around 2018, Kashiwamochi exhibits an insatiable appetite and is not particular about her meals. She shares a close bond with another resident cat, Sakuramochi, and it is hoped that they can be adopted together. However, Kashiwamochi is adaptable and can thrive in a multi-cat household if preferred. For those interested in providing a loving home to this deserving kitten, inquiries can be made via email at [email protected] or by calling 050-1557-2763 (available in English and Japanese from Monday to Saturday).
Animal Refuge Kansai, a non-profit organization founded by a U.K. native, Elizabeth Oliver, operates in both Kansai and Tokyo regions. The NPO's mission is to rescue and rehome abandoned animals, ensuring they receive necessary vaccinations, are sterilized, and microchipped. Prospective adopters must complete a screening process before proceeding. For more information, visit the organization's website: www.arkbark.net.
